Winner of Rödspoven: Photophobia

sometimes passes through Västerbotten, much like the films we present in this section. The prize, a scholarship of 10,000 SEK, is awarded to an international documentary film that highlights a current and important topic. Each year, we focus on new themes that reflect the world around us.

For 2024, we have chosen to highlight three powerful films centered around the lives of children in times of change. One of these three films will receive the scholarship, as decided by an external jury. The winner, which will be announced during the Sunday screening, will be determined Friday evening after the award ceremony at Kajscenen.

With Rödspoven, we aim to honor documentary film as an art form while also shedding light on the pressing social issues we face in our time.
