Let yourself be drawn into the film’s fantastic world! Do not miss this year’s film fest!

Västerås Film Festival was founded in 2015 by Carlos Morén and is now preparing for its fourth year. The aim of the Festival is to strengthen interest for quality film productions on a regional, national and international level. In 2016 we screened feature films for the first time.

We are showing films from Sweden and other countries around the world. We select and screen films of several different kinds; one minute films, shortfilms, feature films, documentaries and animations.

In addition to great films, there will be workshops, debates, interviews and other events. The Film Festival concludes with a grand gala and awards ceremony.

Join us on this journey and help us make Västerås into a center for great film!
