We held yet another movie night at our office. This time we showed the Swedish movie “Känn ingen sorg”, which translates roughly to “Shed no Tears”. The movie takes place in Gothenburg and the audience got to see a lot of the scenery that the hometown of Chalmers offers. A very well attended event with over 30 viewers! Thanks to everyone who came!

CITO held a movie night, showing the Oscar-winning documentary “Searching for Sugarman”, directed by Swede Malik Bendjelloul.

Thanks for attending!
