The annual Tempo Documentary Festival, now in its 14th year, is the largest of its kind in Sweden and provides a unique forum for the presentation of documentary work in various formats: film / tv, radio, photography and more experimental forms of expression. The theme of this year's festival (which will feature around 90 documentaries produced by filmmakers from around the world) is freedom of expression as a human right, under the headline “Speak your mind”.
