Raketfilm Explained

Raketfilm (the Rocket Film Festival) is a Swedish short films festival held annually in the city of Karlstad, since 2001, by Film i Värmland. It's a movie-making contest where independent filmmakers have to make a 3-minute short movie in just one weekend. The filmmakers get the rules on Film i Värmlands homepage on a Saturday and then they have one day of making a short movie. The Sunday that follows, the movies must be finished and they are shown to an audience and a jury for judging. There's 1st, 2nd, 3rd prize and an Audience Award.
