Golden Days 2025 - Love

In 2025, Golden Days plunges headlong into one of history's most universal, inexhaustible, and biggest subjects - love.

With the festival, we investigate what we throughout cultural history have called love. We look at how love has changed shape, expression, and desire, and also delve into its darker side - the tragedies, jealousy, and wounds that not even time can heal. From Shakespeare's sonnets to Beyoncé's ballads. From Carmen to Casablanca. From Kierkegaard's language of love to eternal symbols of art. From the fall of Troy to Tinder. And from soulmates to heartbreak.
