Earlier this autumn, actress Alicia Vikander received this year's honorary scholarship from Sten A Olsson's Foundation for Research and Culture.

During the scholarship award ceremony, Vikander announced that the scholarship amount will go to finance and develop Alicia Vikander film lab, a film education for young people.

- To have the chance to start this film lab together with the Gothenburg Film Festival to inspire young people and create opportunities for them to explore the world of film is something I am extremely excited about, says Alicia Vikander.

Will hold lessons

Every year, three to four schools from different parts of Gothenburg will be included in the project.

Mobile film workshops will tour around high schools in Gothenburg where the educational work is led by the Gothenburg Film Festival's film educators.

Vikander will lead a number of workshops with the young people.

The project runs for three years starting in January 2022.
