Swedish Film Institute

The Swedish Film Institute oversees film production, archives more than 32,000 films, and maintains a specialized cinema library in central Stockholm.

Founded in 1963 by Harry Schein, the institute emerged from the Swedish Film Society of 1933 and gained independence from entertainment tax through cinema revenue.

The organization manages the Guldbagge Awards ceremony, promotes Swedish films internationally, and supports diverse storytelling through funding documentaries and feature films.

Producers seeking funding must submit applications through established Swedish production companies, with support covering up to 80 percent of Swedish participation costs.

The institute's film archive joined the International Federation of Film Archives in 1946, positioning itself among the earliest global film preservation institutions.
