FESTIVAL INFO
Founded in 1982, the Uppsala International Short Film Festival
has since become Sweden's premier arena for short film, having
attained both national recognition of the Swedish Film Institute
and genuine international renown. In addition, the festival
is the most important international cultural event in Uppsala.
Every year the festival shows more than 300 short films in
five different sections exploring the diversity and richness
of the short film - from new film to retrospective programmes,
from fiction film, documentaries and experimental film to
animations.
Taking place in the university town of Uppsala at four cinemas
located in the city's classic cinema district, the Uppsala
International Short Film Festival is a meeting place for audience,
industry and media. The many Swedish and international film
makers and other professionals that every year attend are
offered an extensive programme of activities that give an
insight into Swedish film, culture and history. Buyers, distributors
and festival representatives have access to a videoteque during
the festival. The festival offers film makers many opportunities
to meet their audience, and discussions are held both at the
screenings and at special director´s talks. The festival
also hosts a number of parties, and the festival pub is open
every night.
