There could be a Sweden Film Week in France too! Why don't we have a European Film Festival?

So what if I don't speak Swedish and can't read Chinese?

Frankie -there is an EU film festival in Shanghai each year.. as well as an international film festival that kicks off in Shanghai very soon! June 11 i think.

Woai -well then u can either bring a translator or... ehum... try very fast to master a new language. Swe is quite similar to Eng :)

i'm not sure if it is the best time to have the film week, considering kung fu panda 2 and a bunch of other big budget movies are storming the box office right now.
but i sure as hell would go see some Swedish movies.

Thanks Jonna. I had this problem when I went to see the movie HERO in Beijing. The subtitles were only in Chinese but the language, although Putonghua, was very old form style and I don't think I understood one single sentence.

Later I bought the DVD making sure it had English subtitles and loved it.
