Last night Swedish film took center stage when the Newport Beach Film Festival screened the four Swedish films selected to this year´s festival. It was part of the Swedish Spotlight that included Jens Jonsson´s film The King of Ping Pong (that won for Best World Cinema:Dramatic Competition up in Sundance earlier this year), Suddenly starring Mikael Nykvist, Sun Storm starring Izabella Scorupco (who also attended the screening) and the film The Seekers, starring Maud Adams.

The screenings were followed by a party at the design store Design Within Reach and featured Swedish drinks and delicacies sponsored by Food Perfected and Absolut.
