Photos and presentation of Palladium

Yesterday, I took a lot of photographies at Palladium. Here are a few to show you the place.



Palladium was built in 1925 and served as Växjö's largest cinema until 2001, when SF built Filmstaden. The cinema was then taken over by volunteers, whose aim was to preserve the Palladium and develop the business to an open meeting place and a cultural center with width.


Paul Boberg designed the Palladium in Växjö. It was built in 1925 with the entrance in an older building on Storgatan. The cinema proprietor was August Boman. They opened the cinema with Victor Sjöström's "He who Gets Slapped", Smålandsposten wrote about the inauguration: "May we hope and believe that the Palladium in Växjö shall so act, the film and film interest always survive and thrive in our city."



Decorative Painting conducted by Sven Sundbaum painted over in 1980 when Lennart Clemens was commissioned to renovate the premises. In the upper foyer exterior rooms (small stage), one can still see the original paintings. The luminaires are also left since the house was built.

Hello !



Hello !


My name is Maëlle, I´m 23 years old and I'm the new volunteer in Palladium.

Here is the new blog that I just created for share news and photos of the cultural center. 
Do not hesitate to comment our posts and share your opinion or send a mail for suggested an article. 

Here is a short presentation to know me better : 
I’m from France and I've finished my studies in the field of cinema.
I think that the EVS experience is a real chance and opportunity for meet other people and discovered a new culture.
It’s a unique experience of commitment and sharing of common values.
I'm really interested by Sweden (its culture, its tradition and its History) and I would like learn swedish language.
Cinema is my domain of studies and also a passion.
The EVS at Palladium will allow me to have an experience in this domain in a foreign country.
My last year of studies at Lyon is a specialization for “Arts, Knowledge and Image” and I would like realize a project in this context.
During my training course the last year, I was able realize a lot of actions and mediations for children and other public.
I am particularly interested by Folkets bio, that is a great organization in Sweden for develop actions, mediations and broadcast European and international independent movies, and I am very motivated for participating to the cinema activities.
Further, I can propose educational workshops and creative projects in visual arts and dance.
I´m really interested by cinema but also by other arts like dance, theater or visual art and Palladium is a good place for all this arts.
The EVS will allow me to see and to work for this different fields and I´m so excited !

I have participated in several projects: direction of several short films, direction of an experimental video during a dance show, voluntary work for music and cinema festivals and direction of shows. I can promote the organization and help in the creation, assistance for management and logistic, preparation and arrangement of projects. I can also take photo about Palladium, work for the communication of the center, contribute to the organization of festivals and other events. 
To create artistic works, bring together people, projects and cultures seemed me essential and necessary. Thanks to my studies, work and personal experiences, I have significant experience of artistic and cultural practice.

Ultimately, I would like to work for an organization that promotes culture at large and encourages collaboration between the various artistic disciplines.

My others interest are the Vintage, the New Burlesque, the Music-Hall, the Happenings and the trips ! 

Here, is a tumblr about my swedish adventure:
