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:

10 October 15:15 (3:15 PM)
Asian Film Festival 2026: Don't Tell Mother

Bangalore, 1990s. 9 years-old Aakash grows up in an apparently ordinary family. He and his younger brother are mischievous and often visit their grandmother who lives nearby. At school, there is this maths teacher who raps Aakash’s knuckles for talking too much, something he keeps hidden from his mother. She is strict, but she is caring. She longs for independence but finds herself constrained by traditional family expectations.

Don’t tell Mother is Lookur’s heartwarming debut, enriched with delightful small touches of humour. Through the eyes of his young protagonist, he revisits traumatic childhood experiences while also evoking warm and tender memories from this period, particularly those involving his mother.

In Kannada with English subtitles.

10 October 17:45 (5:45 PM)
Asian Film Festival 2026: Restart

After failing his exams, Ruan is forced to spend several months in his grand mother’s village. On his second morning there, he wakes up to find that the same day is repeating itself over and over again. He realises he has been given a purpose: to save the village and his own family from a looming disaster caused by the village’s dam breach.
But how can he change anything when no one believes him, and the authorities in charge are only going through the motions?

In this tale, Duman Erkimbek delivers a sharp critique of corruption, blending genres with flair, while also expressing a deep faith in young people as the driving force of change in our societies.

In Kazakh with English subtitles.

10 October 20:00 (8:00 PM)
Asian Film Festival 2026: A Useful Ghost

March is grieving the loss of his wife Nat, who recently died from dust-related pollution.  When he discovers her spirit has returned in the unlikely form of a vacuum cleaner, he embraces the chance to be with her again.
As March's family reject their unconventional relationship, a worker's death unleashes a haunting at the family factory, bringing the business to a halt. Determined to prove their love, Nat offers to cleanse the factory. To become a useful ghost, she must first get rid of the useless ones.

Inspired by the Thai legend of Mae Nak, Ratchapoom Boonbunchachok delivers an impressive debut, skilfully weaving together a surreal atmosphere, soap-opera melodrama, joyful humour, and a dazzlingly colourful visual palette.

In Thai with English subtitles.
