Small Feet Go Far has joined forces with the Swedish Institute, the British Film Institute and National Schools Film Week, to bring the very best of Swedish Cinema for children, young people and families to screens around London. These acclaimed and award winning films range from the uplifting to the challenging and enable viewers of any age to explore Swedish culture and creativity.

How the films were selected
The films selected for Small Feet Go Far are aimed at children and young people, but should not be regarded only as children’s films. In Sweden they are appreciated by a wider general audience as well. The films deal with relationships between children and adults, without being patronising or childish. After their first run at the box office, the films have frequently been used in school cinema programmes and have stimulated pupils and teachers to discover and discuss the issues raised.
