What is Folkets Bioâs editorial policy?
Oscar Eriksson: We are currently working on the launch of a new project with the working title
Folkets Klassiker, a curated programme of new digitalised Swedish arthouse classics from the very start of our company in 1973. We are releasing these titles on both VoD and for cinemas as a part of highlighting our history and a specific part of Swedish film history that Folkets Bio emerged from.
