On August 29, the premiere is for Klinkbåten – a Nordic cultural heritage, a new short film about the people, craftsmanship, and commitment that keeps the wooden boat culture alive.
The film has been produced within the framework of Wooden Waves and takes us, among other things, to the Boat Building Program at Stensund Folk High School, where the knowledge of traditional wooden boat building is passed on to new generations. We also get to meet the Boat Team Oxelösund and hear more about why it is important not only to preserve the boats – but also the knowledge, stories, and community around them.
What happens to a cultural heritage if no one can craft it anymore, tells the stories or takes care of the boats?
It is one of the questions we want to raise with the film.

The film has its premiere on August 29 at 11:00 AM in the hangar at Femöre, during Femöredagen and the Archipelago Festival in Oxelösund.
