The Fucking Åmål week in Åmål 23-27 Oct
Posted: Wed Sep 05, 2018 1:07 am
Åmål Municipality just the other day released a schedule and some information on their oncoming “Fucking Åmål-veckan” - a chain of events celebrating the 20th anniversary all taking place in Åmål between 23-27 October. Pretty much all info on what they were planning was hidden before.

Some spokesperson stated last year that the ambitions on what to do with this were quite high; as an example they wanted to invite Lukas Moodysson and Alexandra Dahlström over to make a public appearance. I was skeptical about that in particular as Åmål is a pretty distant place to travel to, and Lukas have at least been invited to visit once before but turned down that offer. I can see now that they probably didn't succeed on that part, but there are still some interesting things going on. This includes multiple screenings of the film at the town's local cinema, a presentation about the film's initial premiere, some live performers doing covers of the FÅ soundtrack and a FÅ trivia quiz.
I'll be booking a hotel in Åmål very soon so that I can attend pretty much everything, that is to say if nothing else gets announced right away like Rebecka and Alexandra showing up on some anniversary event in Stockholm - which I suspected possibly could happen before - but yeah now it's getting kind of late for such an announcement.
