The Flogsta Roar

Screening time  
25.02. / Tuesday, 16:00 - 18:00 Theatre 5  
The "Flogsta roar" happens every evening at 22.00. This is the moment when hundreds of students unleash their anxiety at the same time and scream out of the windows.

The student campus Flogsta was built in Uppsala in the 1970s. Since then, the Flogsta roar has happened every evening at 22.00. This is the moment when hundreds of students unleash their anxiety at the same time and scream out of the windows. Probably a tradition unique in the world.
