Event dates and highlights

The Stockholm Industry Days will take place from 16 to 19 November 2026, offering a range of activities including film and series projects, industry panels, and pitching opportunities. The event will overlap with the Stockholm International Film Festival, which runs from 11 to 22 November.

Nordic focus and special programs

A central theme of the event is Nordic cinema, with an exclusive pitching platform for Swedish first feature projects from the Stockholm and Gotland regions. The Alma Pitch forum for series will feature alumni of the Alma Education programme for screenwriters in its first edition.

New initiatives and young filmmakers

The Nordic Wave section, launched in 2024, highlights bold Nordic voices and includes a competition for the best project. Two short-film strands, 1KM Film and Nordic Shorts, aim to support emerging filmmakers. These strands will showcase four projects each in specific sessions.

Selected projects and their creators

Five projects have been highlighted for the Nordic Wave event. Ford, the first feature by Malin Ingrid Johansson, is highly anticipated. Johansson has previously been recognized for her shorts Madden and Deck 5b, which were awarded at Toronto in 2024.

Notable collaborations and international interest

GØTUBRÅ, a Faroese series co-directed by Anna Maria Sloan and Annika Djurhuus Olsen, explores dating in the North Atlantic. Like There Is No Tomorrow, by Tess Quatri, has drawn interest from Norway’s Eye Eye Pictures, known for co-producing Fjord, a Palme d’Or-winning film by Cristian Mungiu.

Industry participation and discussions

Eye Eye Pictures will take part in talks and panels during the event. Producers Andrea Berentsen Ottmar and Dyveke Bjørkly Graver will collaborate with Romanian producer Tudor Rei to discuss the making of Fjord and their Oscar journey with Sentimental Value. A session will also cover the second season of the Swedish lawyer series Burden of Evidence.

Writers and future talent

Writers Amy Deasismont, Cilla Jackert, and Alex Haridi will join the Writers’ Roundtable. Netflix and the Fryshuset youth organisation will present contenders for The Next Generation of Film Makers. Documentary director Pep Bonet will lead a Nikon workshop.

Industry meetings and long-term vision

Representatives from Mubi, TV4 Play, and SVT will participate in the annual Meet the Streamers talks. A debate on Visions of Swedish Cinema 2030, a ten-year mission starting in 2020, will bring together influential local industry figures.
