It is now decided that the feature film project She's Wild Again Tonight receives Stockholm Feature Film Award and collects 5,4 million SEK (appr. 600 000 euro).
Jury statement: A post-modern, metafictional, slightly absurd re-make of Strindberg's Miss Julie (Fröken Julie). The film takes place in a contemporary New York apartment in which the actors play heightened versions of themselves. Alexandra Dahlström (as Miss Julie) and Jens Lekman (as Jean) meet to reenact the play to Lekmans' music.

In May 2011, the Stockholm International Film Festival launched the Feature Film Award, with Telia as the main financier and support from the Swedish Film Institute, Europa Sound & Vision and Dagsljus and with NonStop Entertainment as a distributor.
In 2012 we were also proud to present SVT (Swedish National Television) as a new collaborator. The award goes to a project with a female director, and in the selection process we are looking for strong stories with a clear vision. The nominees are selected through an evaluation based on the script, previous productions, and the team's ability to carry out production according to schedule, budget and audience potential. The award has a value of a minimum of SEK 5.4 million and the winning film will then be produced during the next two years.
