You'll see that in Åmål, little things has to see. It's a beautiful but simple town. :D
I guess it will change it with the atmosphere of the movie. I am sure that this will be great and will there are a lot of people. *:)*
We hope photos. Fun :W

I received an email from Sveriges radio P4 and they would like to interview me about Fucking Åmål week. I assume they got my address from the turistbyrån. Sounds fun!

I have been interviewed for radio and TV before so it's maybe not such a big deal. ;-) In Finland only, though.

The same P4 Väst produced this small story for radio: https://sverigesradio.se/sida/artikel.a ... el=7069419

I wonder if there will be other articles and news about the 20th anniversary of the film, not related to this special week in Åmål. I hope so - but maybe there should be another thread for them. :-)

When I told my friends I'm going there, they mostly wondered how it can be already 20 years since the film was released. Many had seen it at a special showing for their Swedish class.

Some general acknowledgments will be made by Swedish media on the anniversary day but it's hard to tell if we can expect something else beyond that. No Blu-ray or such seems at sight considering what Lars told me the earlier month.

“We've received e-mails and letters from all over the world.” I wonder what those die-hard fanatics are like. ;-)

I just noticed that they have started selling some FÅ t-shirts again! These have the text “Fucking Åmål-veckan” printed on them as well, contrary to the earlier design which only featured the film's logo. If any of you guys want one let me know and I'll get one for you! :-)

I am very angry because the day I went to visit Åmål, it was the day of the week that tourist office was closed (monday afternoon). Bad luck. :evil:

But, are you now in Åmål?

Perhaps a look in the mirror would give an answer here. :shock: :oops: :lol:


I was going to ask if these t-shirts were on sale for international buyers, like on Ebay or even Tradera or something. :?

Nope, not yet. I'll be there by Tuesday. This was just some snooping online on my part.

Not by the looks of it. These are probably made in a limited amount intended to be sold locally.
