We are currently planning what workshops we will offer, but it will probably be about different topics, such as writing scripts, acting, editing, etc.

We will arrange debates during the festival days. We will have show films and have a debate regarding our recurring theme "Vulnerability", and debates regarding film making in Sweden and other countries.

We are still planning on which lectures we will organise, but it may be work in progress, film studies, etc.

There will of course be opportunities to party during the festival days. More on this coming later!

We are planning on arranging networking events.

The award ceremony will take place on Oct 30th, at Steam Hotel in Västerås. It will be a very pleasant evening where we honour both Swedish and foreign filmmakers.

Tickets and festival cards will be available for purchase here on the website in summer/autumn 2021. It will also be possible to buy tickets directly at some venues.

We will show films in different categories, such as short films that are usually between 5-30 min, feature films, documentaries and music videos. There will be movies in different genres to suit everyone; drama, comedy, romance, science fiction, horror.

We have had and will continue to present a great assortment of Swedish films, short films, feature films and documentaries.

Films which are not in Swedish or English will have subtitles in one of those languages.

Västerås Film Festival will be held in various places, such as Carlforsska Gymnasiet's large cinema (film screening), the City Library (film screening, lectures, debates) and VäxHuset (film screening, interviews).

Västerås Film Festival will take place between 23-31 October 2021.
