Win an in-season double pass to the Scandinavian Film Festival

Now a much-anticipated fixture on the festival calendar, the Scandinavian Film Festival will return in July with a specially curated programme of films and events, showcasing the best in new Nordic cinema and exploring the culture, history and life in the region. A selection of high calibre and award-winning films from Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Iceland will screen at Palace Cinemas and partner screens nationally.

The festival will open with Wildland (Kød & Blod). Set in Denmark’s underbelly, Jeanette Nordahl’s striking Scandi-noir follows an impressionable teenage girl who is placed in the care of her estranged aunt, (an incredible Sidse Babett Knudsen), the head of a family crime syndicate. At the centerpiece of the festival is The County (Héraðið), Grímur Hákonarson’s eagerly anticipated follow-up to the global hit Rams. THE COUNTY is a rousing, David-and-Goliath comedy about a dairy farmer’s wife (Arndís Hrönn Egilsdóttir) who takes on the corrupt local co-op in her remote Icelandic valley.

This year’s Special Presentation is Tigers (Tigrar). Crowned Best Nordic Film at the 2021 Göteborg Film Festival, Tigers is the enthralling true story of Martin Bengtsson, a former Inter Milan player, who lifted the lid on a world where everyone has a price tag.
