Second Annual Web Film Festival

Welcome to the official film player of Sweden! It contains short films from both famous and lesser-known directors. And by short we mean anything from less than a minute up to an hour. Animation, documentary or fiction? Or you might be more into dance, sports or music? We also post lots of films about Sweden and the people who live here. Right now you can enjoy the Second Annual Web Film Festival.
