UPDATE: The North Film Festival will be held only Online this year (February 24 – 26, 2022) due to COVID and specifically the new Omicron variant. In addition to the rapid spread of the variant, it does not look likely that everyone will have access to a third vaccine dose by the time of the event and many venues in Europe are beginning to require this third dose.

This was a difficult decision, as we were really looking forward to bringing an amazing festival to Sweden like the one we did in Barcelona, Spain ( https://www.lhifilmfestival.com/) but safety is the most important thing for our filmmakers. The North Film Festival 2022, will be held ONLY ONLINE from 24 – 26 February, 2022.
