Uppland-Stray 2

IRRAREN (STRAY)

On the outskirts of a future city in what used to be Sweden, Vidya and her dad live with others in a small community. The grown-ups talk about something lurking in the ruins of the city center, something they call “the Stray.” Vidya, who likes to do things her own way, pulls away from her friends. Today, she doesn’t want to help with the chores either. Instead, she’s worried about the strange threat outside their safe home. She decides to protect everyone from the Stray, but soon finds herself lost. ​

LIMEN

Limen is a fragmented narrative about life in an in-between space: a fissure, a boundary, or a threshold where the past refuses to disappear entirely and the present refuses to be fully remembered. ​

Uppland-Limen
Uppland-Whos Watching

SE & SYNAS (WHO'S WATCHING)

Surveillance cameras in public spaces are getting more common. What’s being filmed? Who’s being watched? Who’s watching? A political short which through wit and curiosity explores the increase in societal surveillance and asks questions about integrity, power and control.

Sweden 2026 / 10:12 / Director: Lynx Lima de Faria

DE TRE ORDEN (THOSE THREE WORDS)

Three words. “I love you.” Easy to say, yet, for so many, impossible to speak out loud. This documentary examines the fears, vulnerabilities, and emotions that make expressing love one of the hardest things we do. ​

Sweden 2026 / 14:11 / Director: Frida Cecilia Thelin, Johanna Lena Hedberg

Uppland-On Hold

DET ÄR MÅNGA SOM RINGER JUST NU (ON HOLD)

Amanda, an 18-year-old student, is becoming increasingly detached and depressed without understanding why. When she tries to seek professional help, every phone call leads to another queue, another referral and another dead end. As the Swedish health care system fails to respond in time, Amanda begins to lose touch with her friends, her schoolwork and the life she is trying to hold on to. ​
