Do you have a short film, feature film, or documentary you’d like to screen with us in November? Fill out our submission form before August 31.
In 2024, our Northern Perspectives section had over 800 visitors attending the screenings and film blocks. Films in this section should have a connection to the northern circumpolar region—either through their subject matter or because one of the filmmakers has a strong personal link to the north. Since 2023, we have also welcomed submissions from other parts of the world, such as Greenland, Iceland, Canada, and Finland. Films produced in Sweden and submitted to the festival also have the chance to be nominated for our film grant Storspoven (read more about past winners here).
All submitted films are viewed by a reference group consisting of 4–5 individuals from various parts of the cultural field, together with staff from the film festival. The reference group watches all submissions.
If you’d like to submit your feature film or documentary to this year’s edition of Umeå Film Festival, please fill out the form below. Each year, we screen around 40 films in our Panorama, Gala, and Documentary sections.
