Visitor Reviews

The rove.me team chatted with people who attended the Stockholm Film Festival in past years. We inquired about the festival’s organization, comfort level, and overall experience. We also wanted to know if they’d recommend visiting the Stockholm Film Festival.

"I enjoyed the event a lot! I attended Stockholm Film Festival for the first time in 2017, so it was great to be back after 6 years," says Marcelina from Stockholm, who went to the festival twice in 2023 with her friends. Marcelina pointed out the main advantages of the Stockholm Film Festival: a "wide variety of films, everything from big productions to short indie films, multiple locations in old cinema theatres around the city, which contributes to the great cinematic atmosphere." She also can't think of anything that was organized badly! "I would definitely recommend this festival to others and I'm looking forward to attending this year's SFF as well!"
