By hosting the event Short Film Day (Kortfilmsdagen) we celebrate the shortest day of the year (21st of December) at Moderna Museet Malmö, Sweden. This would be the second year that we invite everyone for a wide range of Swedish and international short films for both children and adults.
Our goal of the event is to provide local visitors as well as tourists a cozy moment with short films that inspire, entertain, encourage and challenge. Films are screened during the museum's opening hours (11 AM -5 PM). Short Film Day at Moderna Museet Malmö gives filmmakers an opportunity to show films at one of the most beautiful and unique exhibition spaces in Scandinavia - a former electricity plant from 1901 turned art museum in 2009 (read more about the building here: https://www.modernamuseet.se/malmo/en/about-the-museum/byggnaden/).
Moderna Museet is one of Europe’s leading museums of modern and contemporary art, with a collection of high international standing. Yearly the museum have around 100 000 local and international visitors. During the event the museum will be full of interesting exhibitions and activities that will continuously attract people to visit.
