Stockholm International Film Festival is proud to present the 2013 festival program
Today we announce the 24th edition of Stockholm International Film Festival (November 6-17). This year's program includes more than 180 film premieres from over 50 countries. We are looking forward to 12 days of quality films!
(Please see attachments for the full program and a list of visiting directors and actors available for interviews.)
– The spotlight of this year's festival is freedom and it is the common thread running through the entire festival. It has unfortunately proved to be a highly current topic, as our member of jury Ai Weiwei has a travel ban and cannot be present during the festival. We also recently received the news that the Iranian-German director Mohammad Rasoulof (Manuscripts Don’t Burn) had his passport confiscated in Iran and will not be able to leave the country, says Festival Director Git Scheynius.
The Stockholm International Film Festival 2013 opens with Steve McQueen's historical drama 12 Years A Slave. The middle film is the magnificent love portrayal Blue is the Warmest Color/Adele chapters 1 & 2 by Abdellatif Kechiche. Lastly, we end the festival with Stephen Frear’s highly acclaimed Philomena.

The 24th Stockholm International Film Festival November 6-17 2013.
The Stockholm International Film Festival started in 1990 and is today one of the leading competitive film festivals in Northern Europe. The festival takes place every year in November with more than 180 films from more than 50 countries. More than a festival: we organize exclusive screenings and the popular Summer Cinema – an outdor mini-festival. Every year in spring the Stockholm International Film Festival Junior brings the latest films to youngsters between 6 and 16 years of age.
WE LOVE FILM!
