Now in its 23d year, the Stockholm International Film Festival (November 7 – 18, 2012, location TBA) returns to Sweden with its rich selection of international films. The festival opens with director Mikael Marcimain’s political thriller Call Girl.

Director Marcimain stated “I am honored and happy that Call Girl will open The Stockholm International Film Festival. I have been an avid visitor since the festival started and I have also been part of the international jury. So it feels awesome and a bit nervous to compete with my first feature film. Vive le cinéma!”

Call Girl is the first feature film from Marcimain, who is a popular TV director in Sweden for shows such as Graven, Lasermannen and Upp till kamp.

Other films also being shows at the 23rd Stockholm International Film Festival include:
