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!

Tempo Documentary Festival 2020
Gustav Adolfs torg 22, 111 52 Stockholm, SwedenA week with over 130 program points around Stockholm!
This year Tempo’s theme is Family and the program is filled with interesting touches in the innermost sphere.
The word family can be sensitive, arouse thoughts of security and community but also a sense of disappointment. Missing a family or not having a supportive family around when needed. This year’s theme puts the family under control. How can we look at an extended family concept? The biological family is one thing, but for many the self-elected family is just as important, if not more important.
PROGRAM OF THE YEAR: www.tempofestival.se
TICKETS: Pre-sale takes place at www.tempofestival.se/billetter/ or via the link here in the event.
During the festival, the ticket booths open one hour before the first show at each showroom and close when the last show starts.
Tempo is Sweden’s largest festival for documentary expression. Since its founding in 1998, documentaries from all over the world have been presented that would otherwise not reach a Swedish audience. Tempo provides a unique forum to collectively present documentary works across genre boundaries.
NOTE 15 year limit on all our films.
