The concept of the filmfestival Les Nocturnes was born from French people's grudges about Sweden.

Astrid Lindgren

Every afternoon, at 5 pm, when the darkness cloaks winter, young viewers are invited to (re)discover Astrid Lindgren's world.

Thriller

Swedish Cinema has changed since Sjöström, Stiller or Bergman. Those who may think intimacy and nature are the only themes in Swedish movies may be surprised by Les Nocturnes. This selection of 10 thrillers is almost exclusive in France. The audience might enjoy classic films like The Man From Majorca, by Bo Widerberg, some detective storys adaptations and some other recent features.
