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!

Valentine's Day: La Dolce Vita
Sankt Eriksgatan 82, 113 62 Stockholm, SwedenOn Valentine’s Day, February 14, Bio & Bistro Capitol will show one of the most beloved classics in film history – La Dolce Vita. Many movie lovers’ hearts will learn to hit some extra beats this evening when Fellini’s masterpiece is shown in the cinema again.
Gossip journalist Marcello Rubini feels trapped in his superficial social existence. His dreams of writing something that means something are put on ice for the benefit of the money and the celebrity that accompanies his current position.
Marcello romanticises true love, but barely responds even when his girlfriend overdoses. Instead, his jet-set lifestyle draws him to loose connections and, in particular, the Swedish-American actress star Sylvia, in a fruitless pursuit of love and happiness.
As the winner of the Golden Palm in Cannes as well as an Oscar, with Golden Globe awards Marcello Mastroianni and Anita Ekberg in the lead roles, La Dolce Vita still stands as one of history’s most celebrated films, and Fellini’s magnum opus.
Make your cinema visit a full night and book a table in their fine bistro in connection with the screening! Book your table now at this link:
