Swedish Film Institute

The Swedish Film Institute (Swedish: Svenska Filminstitutet) (SFI) is a statutory body located in Stockholm, Sweden that supports the Swedish film industry. Founded in 1963, the institute is responsible for administering the annual Guldbagge Awards, and for managing the Swedish Film Database. Notable CEOs of the institute include founder-director Harry Schein (1963–1970 and 1972–1978) and Anna Serner (2011–2021). Since mid-April 2024 the CEO is Anna Croneman. The institute is housed in the Filmhuset ("House of Film") located in Gästermalm, Stockholm. The building, completed in 1970, was designed in Brutalist style by architect Peter Celsing. It was designed to resemble a camera, with an exposed concrete façade resembling a filmstrips. It underwent a major renovation in 2008, creating open-plan-plan offices. It is listed as "code blue", the highest ranking in terms of cultural and historical value by the Stockholm City Museum (Stadsmuseet)
