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.

Official Competition. Penélope Cruz and Antonio Banderas give masterful performances as two egomaniacs commissioned to make a film together in this delightfully sharp satire of wealth, art, and pride.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

Where: Sara kulturhus
December 26 – Skellefteå AIK
