Details
Travel covered
  • Who Can Apply: Professional film artists (film directors, cinematographers, animators, documentary filmmakers or film editors) resident in Sweden or practising most of their art there, not studying more than 50% when the decision is made, without debts at the Swedish Enforcement Authority and within the de minimis aid limit.
  • The Focus: International exchanges and travel abroad (festival screenings, residencies, work stays, workshops, research or professional-development trips) and inviting foreign artists to Sweden for collaborative exchange.
  • The Funding: No fixed or maximum amount; typically covers travel and living expenses (sometimes transportation and participation fees), not production costs or own fees; minimum award SEK 5,000; tax-exempt.
  • Key Requirements: Online application via 'My pages' answering all mandatory questions, estimated actual costs under each budget item, and — if invited by or in agreement with a party abroad — an invitation stating the activities, dates and what the host covers. Applications must be submitted before the trip or exchange takes place.

Application notesApply via the 'My pages' e-service; applications may be submitted year-round but are decided four times a year. Current film round: open 2026-09-04 to 2026-11-05 14:00 (decision December 2026); next rounds close 2027-02-03 14:00 (decision March 2027) and 2027-05-03 14:00 (decision June 2027).
