Swedish New Wave – From March 7 to 13

For the 2025 edition of FIKA(S), the festival and the Cinémathèque québécoise present a program dedicated to the Swedish New Wave. It highlights young filmmakers who emerged in the 1960s and, inspired by the French New Wave, sought to revitalize Swedish cinema, which was then dominated by Ingmar Bergman.

Themes of transmission, self-affirmation, social struggle, and sexual liberation run through these award-winning films, many of which were praised at international festivals.
