Sweden: "Nordic Light" postponed to December

Nordic Light is a traditional very much non-formal gathering of Nordic and Baltic animators, who every summer are spending some days watching new films and discussing on what ever is intresting. The event has been going on annually since 1986, usually in summer, touring from one to another of the five Nordic and three Baltic countries. There is no formal organisation behind it, but every time some people are willing to organise it. Number of participants is varying from some tens to one hundred. This years Nordic Light festival, 16th in order, planned to take place in Sweden during this summer, has been postponed. The festival will instead be taking place in december in Stockholm, in cooperation with The Swedish Association for Animated Film (FFAF) and The Swedish Filminstitute. The event will be taking place at Filmhuset (Filmhouse) in central Stockholm, during the same weekend as FFAF arranges the annual screening of newly produced swedish animation. No exact date is set yet, but the event will presumably take place around the 14th-16th of december. More details will be available after the summer, contact ASIFA board member Heikki Jokinen.
