I warmly congratulate on the 16th edition of the Miyukino snow theater international film festival. Films reflect a country, its culture and values. The Miyukino snow theater international film festival has made an excellent contribution to raising interest in Sweden through short films. As short films are concentrated works of art, they pack a lot of messages into a short running time. We believe that watching these films can enrich your life. It is our hope that as many people as possible will be exposed to Swedish short films and be inspired to think about Sweden. We wish the Miyukino snow theater international film festival continued success. Thank you very much.
