November is that time of the year many regard as dark, but funnily enough, Stockholm gives us many sparkly and enlightened ways to have fun and keep our minds away from the gloomy weather conditions. Such as the Stockholm Film Festivals, where stars of the movie world shine on the red carpets of the city’s cinemas and the light of the projectors on the screens takes us to worlds we have only dreamed of. Stockholm itself also starts glittering, when the streets are dressed with the Christmas decorations. No, this is not a dark time, it’s a time to see the light in different shapes.
Here are some of the glittering events you should not miss this month!

Film Club Moderna Museet: Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami
Exercisplan 4, 111 49 Stockholm, SwedenWelcome to The Film Club and the screening of Sophie Fiennes’ film Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami (2017). Director talk and party after the screening. In collaboration with CinemAfrica.
Grace Jones is a style icon and a living legend on the club scene and in popular culture. Sophie Fiennes’ intimate portrayal follows the star in the process of recording a new album, with material based on personal experiences. Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami challenges the documentary tradition that has generated countless one-dimensional mythologising portraits of women artists. Fiennes cuts from glamorous stage performances in New York and Paris, to informal chats with friends and family on Jamaica, and brings the audience closer to the human being Grace Jones.
Film starts: at 18
Duration: 115 min
Location: the Auditorium, floor 2
Language: English and French, Swedish subtitles
Tickets: 130 kr (screening and party)
The Film Bar outside the Auditorium is open from 17.30.After the screening, there will be a talk with the director, Sophie Fiennes, followed by a party in tribute to Grace Jones, featuring ImOnARoof, at 20–00 in the Restaurant and Bar.

John Digweed needs no introduction, the master of the art and world renowned superstar, this is sure to be as spectacular as two years ago. From early beginnings in the blossoming scene of acid house to the apex of the international DJ’ing world, John has never struggled to maintain his longstanding presence in underground music culture.
