Milsim Experts & Event Tips Needed for Sweden Documentary
tips for a documentary film about milsim
Hi everyone,
I’m developing a documentary film about the milsim community in Sweden (and possibly Europe), and I’m looking for insights, experiences, and contacts from people who are active in this world.
The idea is to explore why people do milsim: What draws you in? What do you get out of it? How is it to live for several days as a soldier in a fictional conflict? But also, how does milsim relate to broader questions about war, preparedness, and masculinity in our time?
The idea came from a documentary short film I shot earlier this year, about crisis preparedness, where I met several milsim players. Now I want to go deeper and follow a few participants at larger events. The film will have an observational style but also play with the line between realism and fiction, much like milsim itself.
I’d be super grateful for tips on:
major milsim events (in Sweden, the Nordics, or Europe)
people or groups that could be interesting to talk to
advice on how to approach the community respectfully as a filmmaker
Thanks!
