The 2025 FSF Day
Saturday June 14th, an expectant crowd gathered at the Swedish Film Institute (SFI) in Stockholm, eager to be inspired by this year’s edition of the FSF Day -featuring distinguished British cinematographer Christopher Ross BSC as its Special Guest Star. The FSF Day is an annual event arranged by The Swedish Society of Cinematographers (the FSF) with invaluable support from the SFI and our untiring sponsors. This one was a very full day indeed, consisting of two major seminars, and drew a respectable audience from the local Scandinavian filmmaking community.

FSF co-President Alex Lindén introduces the first presentation of the day, a Masterclass featuring recent BAFTA-winner Christopher Ross BSC moderated by Lars Pettersson FSF. And with a career spanning two decades and 23 features, four entire seasons of episodic TV as well as dozens of episodes, many award nominations and wins -where does one begin?
