Strengthening its position as a major Nordic venue for all things cinema, the Stockholm International Film Festival's Industry Days furnished a lively programme for its 2018 edition. The market days took place from 13-15 November with additional events spread across the festival, including seminars, master classes and panel discussions. 

A total of 25 new Nordic feature-film, television and short-film projects at various stages from script development to post-production were revealed in the Work in Progress programme. Five of them were part of the STHLM Debut initiative, “aimed at supporting feature-film directors and producers in the greater capital region of Stockholm”, with another five part of the “micro budget” Moving Sweden project, offering “new and experienced filmmakers a chance to challenge their creativity and explore new formats – films of 60, 45 and 30 minutes as well as short series.”

, has her first long solo flight in the works: Sisters is a coming-of-age tale of three young girls on a council estate struggling to stay together. Sisters also happens to be the title of a miniseries set in 1968, as a keen young temp reporter at a sleepy Swedish small-town newspaper stirs things up when the student protests start breaking out in Paris. Kristina Humle (Love & Happiness) is directing, with production by Emma Åkesdotter Ronge and Martin Persson, and world sales by The Yellow Affair.

The programme also included a master class with Asghar Farhadi, the recipient of this year’s Stockholm Visionary Award, and screenings of photographer Mattias Klum’s The Young Sea, followed by a Q&A, as well as Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 11/9.

The festival wrapped on 18 November.
