Please note that all regular film screenings at Fyrisbiografen (except for some children's films) are in their original language and subtitled in Swedish. When possible, we screen films from our repertoire with English subtitles for our international audience. Unfortunately, this is not possible with all of our films. The film selection may vary depending on the number of films offered with English subtitles.

Upcoming screenings with English subtitles:
 

Premiere Friday 8 August (time tba)
The Umesh Cronicles

Director Pooja Kaul makes her debut with a touching drama about family, identity, and the search for belonging in 1980s India.

A young girl, Radha, grows up in a middle-class family in northern India, surrounded by the books and music she loves. She compares her privileged life to those who serve her and reflects on what it truly means to be a free person.
Through Jakob Ihre’s (Oslo, August 31st; Chernobyl) stunning cinematography, a country in transition is portrayed, where class and female emancipation begin to take root.

In Hindi with English subtitles.

Tuesday 26 August 17:30 (5:30 PM)
All We Imagine as Light

Cannes-awarded, visually poetic, and beautifully nuanced debut about two women in Mumbai longing for freedom and connection.

Nurses Prabha and Anu share a cramped apartment. Prabha is married but estranged from her husband, who lives abroad. Anu, younger and full of dreams, is caught in a secret romance with a Muslim man – something she must conceal from her Hindu family. Prabha is initially disapproving, but when her own dormant desire for intimacy is rekindled by an unexpected suitor, her perspective on Anu’s passion begins to shift. A retreat from the city’s clamor to a quiet coastal village provides space for their emotions and desires to unfold. With mesmerizing visual brilliance and a keen eye for both the everyday and the magical, Payal Kapadia’s fiction debut emerges as one of the year’s most captivating and heartfelt films.

In Malayalam with English subtitles.

Thursday 18 September 19:45 (7:45 PM)
Funeral Parade of Roses 

One of the most rebellious and subversive cult classics of the 1960s.

Based on Sophocles' play about King Oedipus, Funeral Parade of Roses delves into a dazzling, obscure part of Tokyo's nightlife filled with drag queens and divas. Marked by booze, drugs, music and layers of make-up, we follow the transgender person Eddie as he gets mixed up in a love triangle with the club owner and the nightclub's reigning drag queen.

Expect a slightly hallucinatory experience bursting with attitude. Despite being more than 50 years old, Funeral Parade of Roses is still in a league of its own and is said to be one of Kubrick's biggest influences for A Clockwork Orange.

The screening is a part of Uppsala Pride, which takes place in Uppsala September 15-19.
 

In Japanese with English subtitles.
