Introducing a film by Jonas Myrstrand - A Transformation of the City by the Sea (Stockholm). 

A  focus in this film is on City of Stockholm and among others - Beckholmen post-shipyard area where we are taken by Iwona Preis from Intercult.

The film also shows other post shipyard heritage areas and tells us about their transformation and what become of them.
