Malmö. Hollywood wanted to shoot a feature film in Skåne [South Sweden, where the principal city is Malmö), based on a best-seller. But the company got cold feet. The reason: threats against Jews in the region. In January of this year, a meeting was held in Los Angeles between Hollywood companies and Mikael Svensson from Øresund Film Commission, a Swedish-Danish cooperation agency that helps foreign film companies who want to shoot in the region.

The film company said they were interested in finding potential film locations in Malmö and Skåne for a film based on a bestseller with a Jewish theme.

But the delegation from Hollywood never showed up. Instead, Mikael Svensson received an email in February stating that the shooting in Skåne had been scrapped. The reason: the Hollywood company had heard that the Simon Wiesenthal Center had discouraged Jews from visiting Malmö.
