Sweden’s national broadcaster is lining up a host of docs that could garner international appeal.

The K Special arts and culture prime-time documentary strand alone has 52 slots per year. There are a further 40 music-related documentaries shown on the channel each year.
Emelie Persson, who has worked at Svt for the past 17 years, and as commissioning editor for Svt for the past six years, has worked on releasing films including Oscar-winner Searching For Sugarman, local hit A Thousand Pieces, as well as An Honest Liar and Pixadores.
