VFF has been postponed to August 7th-21st, 2021.

The festival will take place Mar 6th-Mar 20th, 2021, in Västerås, Sweden.

Västerås Film Festival was founded in 2015, and we showed about 230 films. Now in its sixth year. The mission of the Festival is to promote and increase interest in quality films, and production on regional, national and international levels.
