The Stockholm Film Festival has announced an exciting new venture—Boat-In Cinema, the first floating cinema in the Nordic region, set for August 8, 2025. This remarkable event will take place outside the iconic Stadshuset (City Hall) in Stockholm and will feature a screening of Wes Anderson’s beloved film, 'The Life Aquatic.' Attendees will have the unique opportunity to watch the film from either land in Stadshusparken or from their own boats, creating a distinctive cinematic experience against the backdrop of Stockholm’s waterfront.
Magnus Larsson, head of marketing at the Stockholm Film Festival, emphasized the festival's commitment to innovation in film experiences, stating, "We want to constantly find new ways to experience cinema, and what could be more summery and grand than a cinema at sea in the heart of Stockholm?" This event not only serves as a novel way to enjoy a film but also previews the upcoming Sommarbio, which will celebrate its 35th anniversary from August 13 to 17, 2025.
Best of all, the screening is free for everyone, making this an attractive event for both locals and visitors looking to enjoy a memorable evening on the water.
