A weekend of Swedish cinema

WHEN you think about Sweden, what comes to mind first? If it's ready-to-assemble furniture, meatballs, or just a place where they have really high tax rates, it might be time to widen your cultural horizons.

The Embassy of Sweden (Singapore) in collaboration with indie cinema The Projector is presenting the very first Swedish Film Festival in Singapore. Held from Jan 28 to 31, the carefully curated range of movies offers a little something for everyone.

Commercial officer at the Embassy of Sweden Hema Selva says: "With the 50th celebration of diplomatic relations between Sweden and Singapore, it's about time the local audience gets to enjoy the Swedish film phenomenon!"
