Sweden offers those too. But here’s so much more: a rich storytelling tradition, highly skilled artistic and technical teams, and breathtakingly diverse locations. Add to that reliable and sustainable infrastructure, financial stability, a spirit of innovation, and excellent English proficiency.
It’s everything you need to keep production on track – and fall in love in the process.

What’s typically Swedish?
Sweden stretches across a great distance from north to south, offering a rich diversity in scenery, seasons (often simultaneously), culture, architecture, and people. So, what’s typically Swedish can actually be quite difficult to define. Then again, this very diversity might just be our greatest strength as a film production country. And perhaps, in the end, this is what’s truly Swedish.
