What is Novemberfestivalen?
Novemberfestivalen is an annual film festival dedicated to showcasing the talent and creativity of young filmmakers. Held in the heart of Trollhättan, a city known for its rich film culture and inspiring landscapes, this festival is a hub for innovation, collaboration, and cinematic exploration. Whether you're an aspiring director, a budding screenwriter, or simply a film lover, Novemberfestivalen offers something for everyone.
Novemberfestivalen is preceded by 19 regional selections around the country and the competition constitutes a national "final". During the two days of the festival, approximately 45 of Sweden's best short films made by young filmmakers will be shown. The films competing nationally in the middleweight (16-19 years) and heavyweight (20-26 years) classes must follow the national rules and be judged by a qualified jury.
Novemberfestivalen works for close contact with the film industry and participates in international networks with other festivals and forums for young filmmakers. Novemberfestivalen is organized by N3, City of Trollhättan, with the support of the Swedish Film Institute, the Västra Götaland region and Folkets Hus Kulturhuset.
