Your Living City Style. Substance. Stockholm.

During 11-22 November 2020, the Stockholm Film Festival will occupy Stockholm’s cinemas and show around 150 films from over 60 countries. In addition to film screenings, the festival also arranges parties, seminars, Face2Face and more.

To attend you must buy an ongoing membership first and then tickets to the movies you want to see during the festival. Purchased tickets are saved on your membership. If you do not want to become a festival member, you can instead buy a Try-on ticket, which gives you a temporary membership / ticket to a film. If you have bought Try-on tickets, you will show your order confirmation directly at the entrance to the cinema.

If you have questions about purchased tickets, visit the festival’s FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions. If you are already a member and have questions about your membership, email [email protected]
