The Solfilmen is a weather program, broadcast once a week as part of the news program Aktuellt) from the first Friday after Kiruna's first sunrise of the year to Midsummer. It shows the sunrise and sunset times for Lund, Stockholm (abbreviated as Sthlm in the Solfilmen), Lycksele, and Kiruna. A cartoon, it shows the Sun moving over the map of Sweden. The background music is an instrumental version of French folksong Le fiacre.[1]
