Celebrating a decade on Australian cinema screens, the 2024 Saxo Scandinavian Film Festival continues to showcase the best contemporary Nordic cinema  selected from major international film festivals and markets.  

Geographically, Scandinavia refers to the Northern European sub-region of Denmark, Norway and Sweden, but over a decade ago at the Cannes Film Festival the idea was born to incorporate more countries from the Nordic region into a festival for the Australian audience to experience.  

This year’s lineup features films that bear the hallmarks of Nordic cinema - sweeping dramas, crime thrillers, black comedy and spectacular cinematography and landscapes. The retrospective also pays homage to the iconic collaboration between Liv Ullmann and Ingmar Bergman, with four celebrated films.  

Enjoy the festival and your escape to the far north of the globe!
