December 6 – Official Competition
Skellefteå Film Studio presents
Official Competition, (photo, above) a deeply funny, witty and occasionally absurd comedy written and directed by Argentinians Mariano Cohn and Gastón Duprat. Any screenwriter writing about their own industry needs to be self-aware and this has self-awareness by the bucketload. Starring Penélope Cruz. In Spanish with subtitles.
Where: Nordanåteatern.

December 10 – Jazzklubben Skellefteå
If you missed the Umeå jazz festival but still want a feel for some real lyrical classic jazz, Erik Palmberg will delight. He leads the listener on a fluid journey of musical threads through his natural talent. His album ‘In Between’ is highly acclaimed by audiences and critics alike.
Where: Din Fest at Campus
December 17 – The Greatest Rock ’n’ Roll Christmas Show
The Greatest Rock ’n’ Roll Christmas show has a hyperbolic title and it looks like they put on a seriously
energetic show. The Boppers retro fun with bebop and rock ’n’ roll classics, along with Brolle and others will add a little swagger to your stride over Christmas time.
Where: Sara kulturhus
December 26 – Skellefteå AIK
