FilmCentrum is
a cultural association which imports and distributes
quality film.
We distribute around one thousand films. Feature
film, documentaries, and shorts from all over
the world, for both children and adult audiences.
FilmCentrum sells, and rents out video films to
schools, libraries, AV centres, museums and other
institutions. We also distribute 35mm films for
cinema viewing; mainly for children and youth
audiences.
[ NB! Our distribution rights apply exclusively
to Sweden and we are therefore unable to rent
or sell films for viewing outside of Sweden. ]
Since the start in 1968 FilmCentrum has initiated
meetings between film, film-makers and the public.
In addition, we have today, an extensive pedagogic
activity. We arrange seminars, courses, and film
series, as well as supplying film-makers and lecturers.
In order to assist teachers and others in using
film in teaching situations we produce theme packs
with films and literature for differing age groups.
In addition a compendium for many of our films
can be found on the internet.
FilmCentrum's main office - FilmCentrum Riks -
is situated in Stockholm. Spread across the country
are FilmCentrum Districts which work with regional
production, courses and film viewing.

At present there are ten cultural Centra in Sweden
with government subsidies from Statens Kulturråd
- (Swedish National Council for Cultural Affairs).
Most of these were formed at the end of the 1960's
and the beginning of the 1970's. Each Centrum
is governed by elected representatives from among
the membership, and founded by freelance, professional
artists with a view to promoting their chosen
art form, with a view to improving conditions,
and their possibilities to work. They have as
a consequence developed on a cultural-political
basis.
