4 NORWEGIAN FILMS 2008


A LEAP INTO THE FUTURE!<br />

Norwegian films attracted a lot of attention and received a number of prizes at international festivals in 2007. This was particularly true for The<br />

Art of Negative Thinking, The Bothersome Man, Gone with the Woman, Mirush and Reprise. A great many new Norwegian films are now lining up<br />

to conquer the world market, with a lot of thematic variations and in several genres. Launched during this year's Tromsø Festival, Nils Gaup's long<br />

awaited major film The Kautokeino Rebellion is in a class of its own. The film depicts a tragic conflict between Norwegians and Samí people in the<br />

mid-1800's, and features central Nordic actors like Mikkel Gaup, Bjørn Sundquist and Mikael Persbrandt in leading roles. The film was shot at<br />

the new regional film enterprise Film Camp in Målselv, Northern Norway, where also the American major film The Golden Compass as well as Far<br />

North was shot. This centre offers essential opportunities to foreign producers in search of unique locations in the Northern region of the world.<br />

The more artistic section of this year's film repertoire includes Bent Hamer's fifth film O'Horten. A cheerful and poetical film about the train engineer<br />

Odd Horten and his adventures during a few days in Oslo, after his recent retirement. Hamer's universe focuses on the elderly, and lets their<br />

inner reflections change places with the stress and hassles of everyday life. Another exciting film in the same genre is the debutante Eva Sørhaug's<br />

ironic and slightly surrealistic Cold Lunch, written by Per Schreiner, the man who wrote the screenplay for the award-winning The Bothersome<br />

Man, and who has also collaborated with Jens Lien for his short films.<br />

Finally, great expectations are also set for the forthcoming reorganization of the Norwegian film administration, which from April 1 merges the<br />

Norwegian Film Fund, the Norwegian Film Institute and Norwegian Film Development into one institution under the leadership of Managing<br />

Director Nina Refseth. An account of the departments and undertakings of the new institution can be found in this catalogue.<br />

5 LØGNER<br />

5 LIES<br />

5 Lies deals with lifelies, and with failure caused by lying to oneself and others. The supermarket<br />

clown Ulrik is dreaming of becoming a stand-up comedian. The handicapped Amnesty girl<br />

Kristin is in love with the swaggerer Alexander, but does not dare to tell him. Erna is to be deported<br />

from the country because she is a «consumed» mail order bride from Eastern Europe.<br />

These are three of the characters in a film from the Norway of losers, the other Norway, from the<br />

shadow of the welfare state. But maybe there is hope for the peculiar outsider characters in this<br />

black comedy.<br />

Lars Daniel Krutzkoff Jacobsen (1962) is famous for having brought trash movies<br />

to Norway. He is responsible for eight art- and trash movies, and has been<br />

a programme producer at NRK (The National Broadcast Company) and assistant<br />

director at Oslo Nye Teater. His short film Precious Moments (2002) won<br />

the Teddy Award at the Berlin Film Festival in 2003, and the award for Best<br />

Narrative Short Film at the Tribeca Film Festival the same year.


Second Half is a comedy about the big questions everyone ponders in life, and about the way<br />

men have a tendency to talk about football instead.<br />

Erik considers leaving his wife and children for his somewhat younger lover Kaja. Sverre<br />

reluctantly has to participate in swinging in an attempt to boost a relationship that has gone<br />

dull. Their father visits his beloved – but senile – wife every week, and has started wondering<br />

if there wasn't anything more to life.<br />

The father and his two sons meet every Sunday, but all they talk about is soccer – and the<br />

fear that their favourite team Skeid would have to move down one division.<br />

With Second Half, Hilde Heier directs her third feature film. She hit her audience<br />

at home with the feature film The Prompter, which was her debut as feature<br />

film director, and she also noted for her horror film for children The Beast of<br />

Beauty (2003). She wrote the scripts for both films. Hilde was educated as a director<br />

at New York University, and has later alternated between working as an<br />

actress, screenwriter and director.<br />

BLODSBÅND<br />

MIRUSH<br />

How is an abandoned son shaped by his father´s absence? How can a person you have never<br />

met become an obsession that controls your life and defines your personality? What does it<br />

take to break destructive patterns and move on? Mirush is the story of a 15 year old boy who lives<br />

with his brother and mother under difficult conditions in Kosovo. Mirush sets out on a<br />

journey to Norway in search of his father, whom he has idolized, but can barely remember.<br />

Mirush gets a job in his father´s restaurant, but chooses to keep his identity hidden, in order<br />

to get to know his father and win his attention.<br />

Marius Holst became internationally known with his feature film Cross my<br />

Heart and Hope to Die, which was in Competition in Berlin 1995 and won the<br />

Blaue Engel Award. Since then he has made numerous commercials. In 2001 he<br />

returned to feature production with Pål Sletaune within their joint company 4<br />

1/2, with the film Dragonflies.


Aina wants to get away from it all, but the house of fools is not a peaceful place to be. After<br />

throwing herself through a shop window, Aina is taken in for treatment. She is forced to join<br />

therapy groups, riding lessons and cleansing conversations with those who wish to help her.<br />

Especially with Stetson, named after his own hat, who considers it honourable to bring a broken<br />

soul back to life. In the house of fools, Aina learns that sheer madness usually makes a lot<br />

of sense!<br />

Eva Isaksen (1956) made her debut in 1985 with the feature film Burning Flowers<br />

(in cooperation with Eva Dahr), after having studied theatre and film (Cand.Mag.<br />

in 1982). She got a large audience for Death at Oslo Central (1990). The comedy<br />

Stork Staring Mad was launched in 1994, and in 2003 she directed Mother´s Elling.<br />

Eva Isaksen has received numerous awards, both nationally and internationally.<br />

During recent years, she has also directed several hours of TV drama.<br />

DE USYNLIGE<br />

THE UNSEEN<br />

How do you find light, joy and purpose in life after the worst imaginable tragedy hits you?<br />

Jan Thomas is released from prison after having served eight years for murder. He is a divinely<br />

gifted organist, and gets a deputyship in a church. Here he meets Anna, a single mother and priest.<br />

As his relationship with Anna becomes stronger, he also develops a close relationship to her son.<br />

One day, Jan Thomas picks up the little boy in the kindergarten. For one short moment, he is distracted,<br />

and suddenly the boy is gone… Agnes is married to Jon. Agnes is a teacher on a school visit<br />

to the church. She recognizes the organist as the young boy who was convicted of the murder of<br />

their son. She decides not to tell her husband about it, and is increasingly drawn towards Jan<br />

Thomas' life and away from her own. The Unseen are two potent stories about people who try to<br />

come to terms with the past – and with their own fate.<br />

The Unseen is the third film in Erik Poppe's trilogy which started with Schpaa,<br />

a story about a gang of criminal boys, and continued with Hawaii, Oslo, five potent<br />

stories about love. Erik has won a number of awards for his first two feature<br />

films, among them several Critics' Awards for Best Film at various international<br />

festivals. Erik was educated as a film photographer at the University College of<br />

Film, Radio, Television and Theatre in Stockholm.


The hippie decade is coming to an end, and the eighties are approaching fast. Carl and Robert are<br />

two slacker characters who live in harmony with the world around them, and let life pass them by<br />

in a perpetual hash high. They earn a little dough on minor sales of pot, in their own opinion providing<br />

essential stimulus to a suffering population.<br />

After the worst drought of all times in the streets of Oslo, they are now ready for their last great<br />

scoop. Their dream of a hippie community in the countryside will finally become a reality!<br />

Enter Glenn, a financial backer with ambitious yuppie plans. Carl and Robert awake from their<br />

hazy harmony, and are forced to fight back. They’re about to enter a wild, dramatic and hysterically<br />

funny trip through the Oslo underworld and all the way to Finnskogen.<br />

The Last Joint Venture is based on Ingvar Ambjørnsen's cult novel about the<br />

transition from the innocent idyll of the seventies to the tough individualism of<br />

the yuppie era. The film is directed by Ulrik Imtiaz Rolfsen, who has formerly<br />

been behind films like Izzat and Varg Veum – Bitter Flowers.<br />

Little Elias started his career in the charming coastal village of Cozy Cove, where he encountered<br />

colourful characters like Trawler, who only cares about making money, The Singing Boathouses,<br />

who comment a capella on each day's events, and the lighthouse Big Blinky, who's been around<br />

as long as anyone can remember - just to mention a few.<br />

In Elias and the Royal Yacht, our little rescue boat is on a secret mission to find The Royal<br />

Yacht. A tragedy struck the Royal Fleet when The Princess Boat vanished up north, and The<br />

Royal Yacht has not been himself ever since. But now he too has gone missing, and something<br />

must be done to find out what's going on.<br />

Espen Fyksen (1970) has worked with animation since 1995.<br />

This is his debut as director of a full-length animation.<br />

Lise I. Osvoll (1979) has education from Granum Art School and<br />

Westerdals school of Communication, section for art direction.


I et speil, i en gåte is a film for children and youth based on Jostein Gaarder’s book of the same<br />

title, a novel which has sold two million copies worldwide. It’s close to Christmas. Cecilie (13)<br />

is seriously ill, and spends most of her time in bed, day-dreaming about Sebastiano whom she<br />

fell in love with on a trip to Spain last summer. One night, a weird little guy called Ariel turns<br />

up in her room and tells her he is an angel. They make a pact; they will tell each other the secrets<br />

of earth and heaven.<br />

The film's director and scriptwriter, Danish Jesper W. Nielsen, has, among other<br />

films, directed The Last Viking, Little Big Sister, Okay and Big Plans. He has<br />

also written the TV series Sommer, and written and directed The Bouncer.<br />

14 NORWEGIAN FILMS 2008<br />

For centuries the windswept mountain plateau of northern Scandinavia has been inhabited by the<br />

native sami population and their reindeers. But modernisation is about to enter the desolate village<br />

of Kautokeino where the authority is held by the prosperous and ruthless liquor dealer Ruth,<br />

staring Mikael Persbrandt. One of the native tribes, led by the young woman Elen, refuses to pay<br />

their unjust debt to Ruth. Without a trial, Ruth manages to imprison most of Elen’s tribe, leaving<br />

Elen alone to take care of the reindeers. Elen gets help to set up a trial in which the men are released,<br />

but Ruth claims ownership of the tribe’s reindeers to cover the cost of the trial. Loosing the<br />

basis of their lives, Elen and her tribe have little choice but to oppose to Ruth’s claim, leading to<br />

one of the most dramatic episodes in northern Scandinavian history.<br />

Nils Gaup is back with a story from the Sami community. His first feature film,<br />

The Pathfinder which was nominated for an Academy Award in 1987, was based<br />

on a Sami legend. In the period between these two films, he has made several feature<br />

films in Norway and abroad, such as Haakon Haakonsen (aka Shipwrecked),<br />

Head above Water, Tashunga and Misery Harbour.


The engagement coffee party for Jompa Tormann ends in disaster. The straightforward, marriageable<br />

Samí is brutally gunned down. The entire group of guests, including the band Banana<br />

Airlines, are caught in the line of fire and killed. Samí-hater and misogynistic policeman Sid<br />

Wisløff is put on the case. Together with his colleague Unni Formen and the Samí guide Peggy<br />

Mathilassi, he starts hunting down the perpetrators. But Jompa survived… He knows who's behind<br />

the massacre, and now he swears revenge. Bloody revenge…<br />

What started as a joke – «Wouldn't it be fun to make a Northern Norwegian<br />

Tarantino spoof of Kill Bill?» – ended up with 60.000 admissions on the<br />

Norwegian charts. Two friends, Tommy Wirkola and Stig Frode Henriksen, visited<br />

the local video store Bobbo in Alta, and discussed the idea, which they realized<br />

in a day, adding half an hour for editing. The film is a result of the reactions<br />

on the web.<br />

COLD LUNCH<br />

There is hope, but not for many of us.<br />

Cold Lunch is a multi-plot drama about five people who all live in the same neighbourhood<br />

at Majorstua in Oslo. While Christer is down in the basement laundry room, he suddenly<br />

remember he's got his houserent money in the shirt pocket. In an attempt to save the money,<br />

he disconnects the main fuse in order to stop the washing machine. As the caretaker puts in a<br />

new fuse, an old man is fumbling with the fuses in a fusebox upstairs and dies instantly. His<br />

daughter, Leni is now alone for the first time in her life. As the fresh mother Heidi is in the<br />

washroom to get her laundry, she discovers that the machines have stopped. She is in a hurry,<br />

and has to bring with her the wet clothes. Without being aware of it, Christer has set unavoidable<br />

processes in motion.<br />

Eva Sørhaug (1971) graduated as director from the Academy of Art College<br />

(MFA) in San Francisco, California in 1999. She has also been a guest student<br />

at Dramatiska Institutet in Sweden. Cold Lunch is her first feature film after having<br />

directed several short films since 2000.


November 1989. The Berlin wall collapses. In Stavanger town, Jarle Klepp (17) has no idea that<br />

everything is about to change. So far he has got everything; the best girlfriend in the world, and<br />

the world's coolest buddy. Together they will soon launch Stavanger's toughest punk band,<br />

Mathias Rust Band. But then the new boy in class, Yngve, appears. He is not like anyone else, and<br />

Jarle is confused. He does not know what to do. All he knows is that he cannot stop meeting<br />

Yngve, even if it involves doing things he really hates. Slowly but steadily Jarle lets everyone<br />

around him down, and finds out what it means to stand alone.<br />

Stian Kristiansen (born 1972) has studied directing in Stavanger, and graduated<br />

as a director from The Norwegian Film School in 2006. He has worked for several<br />

MARS OG VENUS<br />

MARS & VENUS<br />

Mars & Venus starts where other romantic comedies end: Ida and Mathias have found each other.<br />

The young couple now has two young children and demanding jobs. Ida is the ideal woman. She’s<br />

still as hot as she was when she was twenty. She is an ambitious architect and loving mum. She takes<br />

a great deal of responsibility both at home and at work. It turns out to be far from easy to find<br />

time for everything when she gets promoted. Mathias is the ideal man. He’s funny, handsome in a<br />

shabby way and a great dad. Unfortunately he’s also a bit sloppy, and never quite seems to finish<br />

things he initiates, as renovating the bathroom for example. In addition, he buys a sailing boat without<br />

asking for permission… Ida and Mathias live in separate universes as they try to figure out<br />

what they really want in life. Mars & Venus is a story everyone can relate to – and might even make<br />

some take a moment to draw their breath and think: «What on earth are we doing?»<br />

Eva Dahr (1958) has received many awards for her short films. Dahr made her debut<br />

as a feature film director in 1985 with Burning Flowers, which she co-directed<br />

with Eva Isaksen. In addition she has been commissioning editor in The<br />

Norwegian Film Institute between 1998 and 2002. Eva has a unique eye as filmmaker,<br />

and she has a special warmth and suppleness in her films. She has co-written<br />

this film together with Andreas Markusson.


Karsten (35) has been in limbo ever since he became a widower four years ago. He thinks he is<br />

doing fine, until he meets what might be his big love. Victoria is a strong and successful business<br />

woman, and Karsten is positive she represents everything he despises. But is this really the<br />

case, or is he using it as an excuse in order to protect himself?<br />

A warm and humorous film about making a new start, and about taking life as it comes,<br />

with all the minor and major challenges it poses.<br />

Thomas Kaiser has directed more than 50 hours of film and TV drama, including<br />

a number of episodes of Fox Grønland, the drama series Veddemålet and<br />

Skattejakten for NRK, as well as the feature film Pelle the Police Car from 2002.<br />

This is Thomas Kaiser's second feature film. He is also directig the drama series<br />

Sørgekåpen for NRK, based on a book by Unni Lindell.<br />

O'HORTEN<br />

O'HORTEN<br />

Odd Horten has spent his whole working life as a train engineer on the Bergen line. He will make<br />

one last journey over the mountain before he retires. But when the train leaves the station without<br />

Horten on board, he realizes that the remainder of the journey will take place without printed timetables<br />

and familiar stations. Odd Horten has retired, and the platform does not feel like a safe<br />

place to remain.<br />

O'Horten is a melancholy comedy about engineer Odd Horten's first arduous days and nights<br />

en route from his working life to his post-retirement existence. Through warmly humorous and absurd<br />

situations, we become acquainted with the somewhat timid Horten. This portrait of him becomes<br />

a captivating depiction of an elderly man losing his sense of direction – and refinding it.<br />

Bent Hamer (scriptwriter, producer, director) is regarded as one of Norway's<br />

most exciting and distinctive film makers. His films have won many awards<br />

worldwide. Eggs and Kitchen Stories (2003) were both awarded an Amanda as<br />

Best Cinema Film. Kitchen Stories also won the European Distribution Award<br />

in Cannes in 2003. His latest film was Factotum (2005). His films have been<br />

screened in cinema theatres in more than 40 countries, and have been selected<br />

for the Cannes Film Festival three times.


This is the fourth film about The Junior Olsen Gang. Egon Olsen is once more in home confinement<br />

at the orphanage after a plan which literally went down the drain. When Egon is finally released,<br />

he is picked up by a new, rich boy, Preben. It turns out rich Preben has a nasty plan – and before<br />

Egon realizes what's happened, he is running head over heels, while the villa alarm is sounding.<br />

Egon seeks out his old friends Kjell and Benny, and together they plot revenge on Preben.<br />

This involves a large, red piggy bank and an exquisite cream cake. Egon ends up locked into a closet,<br />

from where he hears Preben's parents talking about a valuable treasure hidden in the Royal<br />

Mine at Kongsberg: The royal crown jewels, no less. In a breakneck chase inside the dark Royal<br />

Mines at Kongsberg, the Junior Olsen Gang scramble desperately to find the treasure and bring it<br />

to safety before the crooks get hold of it.<br />

Arne Lindtner Næss has worked with The Junior Olsen Gang universe since<br />

2001. Since Arne entered Statens Teaterhøyskole in 1966, he has worked as an actor<br />

on several Norwegian theatre and variety show stages, as well as in feature films<br />

and TV series. Since 1985, he has been working as an instructor and later as<br />

scriptwriter for the stage, TV and film. In addition to the Junior Olsen Gang films,<br />

he has directed the prize-winning film for children Finding Friends in 2005.<br />

RADIOPIRATENE<br />

THE RADIO PIRATES<br />

The Radio Pirates tells the story of Karl Jonathan and his father who, after breaking up with Karl<br />

Jonathan's mother, move back to his father's worn-down childhood home, and discover that the<br />

whole village has been transformed into a model community of perfect security. Together with Karl<br />

Jonathan we experience how all the children have been deprived of the freedom to behave like<br />

children. Joined by his girl friend Sisseline, Karl Jonathan initiates an insurrection against society.<br />

It all starts when the two of them accidentally stumble over an abandoned radio studio on top<br />

of an old factory chimney. They start playing around in the studio, and without being aware of it,<br />

the angry comments they utter into the microphone are actually heard by a horde of listeners,<br />

who think these are new regulations in the housing cooperative.<br />

The Radio Pirates is packed with comedy, action, and a good portion of romance.<br />

Director Stig Svendsen started his career by learning how to draw comic strips<br />

at the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Arts. He later studied at The<br />

Oslo Film and TV Academy, where he graduated in 2001. 4 1/2 produced his<br />

short film Loose Ends, which is the story of two guys arguing about the contents<br />

of the last Star Wars film. This is his feature film debut.


The class room fills up, but no teacher arrives. The boys in 3F are left on their own.<br />

Mikael never lets go of his bat. He needs his daily dose of smashed windows. Svend hates<br />

everyone, and likes to bully people. Especially Knut, who actually tries to be nice. Kee wants<br />

to throw out all foreigners, particularly the Paki who dumped his mother. David is sick to death<br />

of being bullied for the colour of his skin. While Jesus lives in his own world, and the<br />

world does not understand Jesus.<br />

In this youth film, we meet 12 boys. The bad guys who are left alone in the class room when<br />

no teachers dare teach them. What happens when the students start teaching each other? Respect<br />

plays with alternative reality techniques, and offers unique insight into students' school days,<br />

which are all about solidarity and the fight for respect from both fellow students and the world.<br />

Johannes Joner graduated from the Norwegian National Academy of<br />

Performing Arts in 1981. Subsequently, he has been associated with Rogaland<br />

Teater, Nordland Teater, TV teatret, Chat Noir, The National Theatre and Oslo<br />

Nye Teater. Joner was last seen on the silver screen in Hilde Heier's Second Half,<br />

and on stage as Charlie in the production of The Foreigner at Oslo Nye. Respect<br />

is Joner's first film as a director.<br />

ROVDYR<br />

BACKWOODS<br />

The summer of 1974. Four young people; Camilla, her boyfriend Roger and the siblings Mia and<br />

Jørgen, are on their way to a relaxing long weekend in the woods. They drive through the wilderness,<br />

it's a long car ride, and tensions between the four of them are surfacing. During a break<br />

at a remote roadside café, the four youngsters provoke some of the locals.When leaving the café,<br />

the gang picks up an unknown hich hiker. They have not been driving very far when the hitch hiker<br />

wants them to pull over. She appears to be frightened. There's somebody out there. Somebody<br />

who is after them. Suddenly, the four of them are knocked unconscious, and carried off. Soon after,<br />

they wake up deep inside the forest. There's no one in sight. Then they hear the sound of a<br />

hunting horn. Someone's conducting a gruesome chase. And they are the prey.<br />

Backwoods is Patrik Syversen's feature film debut. He is a typical film fanatic,<br />

and loves horror film just as much as character drama. He combines the two in<br />

this character-driven horror film. He graduated from Oslo Film and TV<br />

Academy, and has formerly made the novella film Elsewhere, among others, in<br />

collaboration with Nini Bull Robsahm.


In high winds a large ship ploughs northwards. From a lighthouse they receive the agreed signal,<br />

and two red buoys are thrown overboard. A small boat sets off from land. They only find one<br />

buoy. At the same time a baby seal is separated from its mother in the high waves at cormorant<br />

reef. Noora (12) lives on the island together with her family. She discovers the baby seal in a bay.<br />

The seal is playing with a buoy. Staying on the island are a German couple and three youths. The<br />

German Dieter mainly hunts seals on the reefs around the island. At the same time some of the<br />

other visitors have started an intense search along the beaches for the missing package. Noora’s<br />

mother, who is 8 months pregnant, slips and falls. Her father has to take her to the hospital. The<br />

children are left alone on the island with both the seal hunters and drug smugglers. A storm blows<br />

up again. Finally they are abandoned in the big lighthouse, with the night approaching.<br />

Arne Lindtner Næss has worked on the Junior Olsen Gang series since the beginning<br />

in 2001 as creative producer and director. Since then he has written<br />

and directed four Junior Olsen Gang-films. In addition he has directed Finding<br />

Friends, with a child, a dog and a bull in the leading roles. The film won the<br />

Amanda prize for the best children's film in 2005 and has appeared in festivals<br />

all over the world.<br />

Svein and the hooded rat Halvorsen go on a summer vacation in the country together with<br />

their friends Dan and Melissa, and the rats James Bond and Pippi. The cool summer vacation<br />

with late summer nights and Grandma's telescope, hot chocolate and lots of sweets, seems to<br />

go down the drain, because Grandma is ill. The children are shocked when they witness<br />

Grandma being placed in an old peoples' home, where the oldies die like flies. As Halvorsen<br />

starts to show the same symptoms as Grandma, the kids are convinced creepy stuff is happening<br />

at the old people's home. After thorough investigation, it turns out the old people's<br />

home is housing extraterrestial aliens hunting for knowledge. To prevent Grandma's soul from<br />

being stolen by aliens, the children kidnap her, and escapes into the woods.<br />

Gone with the Woman is the story of a man who, without quite knowing how, has his life invaded<br />

by a woman. Then his struggle to deal with this invasion begins: He can either try to<br />

throw the intruder out, or try to adapt. He decides to fall head over heels in love. As he puts<br />

it: «I'll start tomorrow already.» But she already seems to have the upper hand, is always one<br />

small step ahead of him. And he seems to be one step behind. Only a matter of seconds, a few<br />

comments, but still behind – in his own life. He goes from being invaded to being in love to<br />

being abandoned. And just as he is about to forget her - she comes back again. This is a story<br />

about a man who is finally forced to take a stand on how he wants to live his own life – thanks<br />

to the woman.<br />

Petter Næss, born 1960, has a varied background from film, TV and the theatre,<br />

12 year old Liv is granted her greatest wish, a voyage with the brand new cruise ferry<br />

Danaworld, which will soon sail from Oslo to Denmark. But before the departure, a black cat<br />

appears out of nowhere, and a secret room is revealed in the basement. Soon Liv is affected by<br />

mysterious dreams in the middle of the day. Strange visions from the past appear. She realizes<br />

that someone's trying to convey an important message.<br />

Liv and her best friend Thomas disclose strange links to a ship disaster nearly 100 years<br />

ago. When no adults believe them, they have to solve the mystery on their own. Could they be<br />

caught in an accident? What will the traces from the past tell them? Do ghosts exist? And do<br />

they dare to follow the black cat?<br />

Grethe Bøe has a background as an actress and a director, both from commercials,<br />

ULVENATTEN<br />

NIGHT OF THE WOLF<br />

During a live broadcast of a debate programme on channel ABC, a group of armed Chechens<br />

take several hostages. The terrorists demand that the hostage drama be broadcast live all over<br />

the world. Behind the scenes, the police negotiator and the police special unit are working<br />

hard to rescue as many as possible out of Studio 2 alive. We follow the drama from moment to<br />

moment, until it all ends in a bloody shootout underway to the airport, where an airplane is<br />

awaiting the terrorists.<br />

The veteran Kjell Gösta Sundvall has directed 10 feature films, and 21 TV productions<br />

in Sweden, among them The Guy in the Grave Next Door and The<br />

Hunters. For the latter, he received the Swedish film award Guldbaggen in the<br />

film year 1996. He was also recently appointed Honorary Doctor at Luleå<br />

University of Technology.


A man vanishes without a trace. His lover, a married, successful politician, discreetly contacts<br />

Private Investigator Varg Veum for assistance. Varg finds her lover murdered, and the politician's<br />

husband is arrested for the murder. However, Varg accuses the police of judicial murder,<br />

and gets involved in an international murder case branching out far beyond the Norwegian<br />

borders, with characters who would not shy from any methods.<br />

Bitter Flowers is the first in a series of six films about Private Investigator Varg Veum.<br />

Ulrik Imtiaz Rolfsen belongs to the new generation of Norwegian directors<br />

who have influenced Norwegian film the last few years. Ulrik's debut as feature<br />

film director came with the action film Izzat in 2005. Rolfsen has earlier made a<br />

Fallen Angels is the second cinema film in the series about the private investigator Varg Veum.<br />

A chance meeting with an old class mate takes Varg Veum back in time, for instance to the popular<br />

Bergen rock band Angel Anatomy in the late 1980's. Then a murder occurs, and Veum starts<br />

unravelling a thread leading him all the way back to his own childhood and adolescence.<br />

The director of the film, Morten Tyldum, made his debut as a feature film director<br />

with the success Buddy in 2003. He has made a number of short films,<br />

novella films and commercials. Among others, he directed the film about the<br />

conservative political party Høyre in Utopia – Nobody is Perfect in the Perfect<br />

Country. Fallen Angels will be Tyldum's second feature film.


With warmth and a humorous view, Hisham Zaman depicts the story of Renas, a well-adjusted<br />

Kurdish refugee who lives in a godforsaken spot in Northern Norway. He has everything he<br />

wants, but he misses a woman. He marries a woman from his home country whom he has never<br />

seen, after having arranged a wedding in Iraq with a kind of substitute bridegroom. But the marriage<br />

has a difficult start when Fermesk arrives in Norway. Neither her husband nor the country<br />

appear the way she had imagined. And is it possible for Renas to love a woman he has only seen<br />

in a photo?<br />

Winterland is chiefly a love story, but like Bawke it treats current political themes from a<br />

human point of view. Like Hisham Zaman says: «I make films about human beings, not about<br />

politics.» And that's exactly why his films reach so many people.<br />

Hisham Zaman (born 1975), graduated from The National Norwegian Film<br />

School at Lillehammer in 2004. Zaman has made several award winning shorts<br />

during and after his studies at Lillehammer, most notably Bawke (2005) a sensitive<br />

and intelligent presentation of the personal dilemmas appearing in people<br />

on the run, which has received 20 national and international awards.<br />

VÅRE DRØMMER<br />

OUR DREAMS<br />

«My own mother country I could betray, but never you and our love…»<br />

Norway's only known female spy, Gunvor Galtung Haavik, was willing to do anything for<br />

love. She had to pay an agonizing price. Our Dreams gives us her moving story about love and<br />

espionage in the chilliest period of the Cold War. The film is a tribute to great, all-consuming<br />

love, and demonstrates how fateful one single decision may be for an individual. What would<br />

have been your decision in such an extreme situation?<br />

Knut Erik Jensen (1940) started his career as a documentary film maker for TV<br />

in the early 70's, and has since directed 3 feature films and countless documentaries<br />

both for the screen and for television. His documentary Cool & Crazy<br />

(2001) reached a large audience nationally as well as internationally.

Imagine waking up tomorrow without recalling today. All recollections are deleted. Imagine<br />

living without a background history, without recognizing those who know you. Imagine encountering<br />

the world as if it were for the first time. And finally, imagine this happening to you<br />

while travelling alone on a train in China.<br />

Hunting Down Memory is a true story about Øyvind Aamodt, who suddenly lost 27 years<br />

of his memory. He remembered nothing from his life. NOTHING! For most people, this<br />

would have been a dreadful experience, an ominous and frightening event in their life. For<br />

Øyvind, it was an adventure. He is neither traumatized nor paralyzed, he is just curious. He<br />

wants to know what happened, but he would also like to know what cottage cheese and blueberry<br />

pie taste like.<br />

Thomas Lien (1971) has worked in the film industry since 1991 in various capacities<br />

(production and camera assistant on a number of feature films; assisting<br />

editor on two feature films and editor of several short films and commercials).<br />

From 1996 to 2003 he was captain on a cruise around the world. He made his<br />

directorial debut in 1995, with the shortfilm Depth Solitude (co-directed with<br />

Joachim Solum).


A film about the toughest girls in the 9th grade. About loyalty, deceit and female power structures<br />

at an age when everything is at stake.<br />

Iselin and Mahsa are best friends. They've just discovered boys and how to flirt. They own the<br />

world, and they don't care about school. But the two best friends fall out and join different<br />

groups. We follow them in their search for their identity without each other.<br />

The film illuminates a genuine female experience; how to be a girl. What's it like to stand alone<br />

when your friends don't accept you? And how do you fit in when the norm is defined by a different<br />

social class?<br />

Hanne Myren (born 1973) is one of the founders and owners of the production<br />

A man has left his wife and two children and crashed his plane into a skyscraper in Milan. A<br />

woman on the pier in Rimini dreams of children, but has lost faith in love. An abandoned<br />

mother of two in Naples wonders whether women's liberation has destroyed the relationship<br />

between man and woman.<br />

On a journey through an Italian landscape marked by disillusion and broken dreams, a<br />

Norwegian man follows the trail from his childhood in a search for love and happiness. Man<br />

Woman Coffee is a poetic road movie about hope, passion and a life that doesn´t always take the<br />

direction we wish for – but also about the art of truly appreciating a cup of freshly ground coffee.<br />

Carl E. Johannessen (born 1963) works as director, editor and scriptwriter in<br />

the newly established Filmkollektivet in Bergen. He is educated in film editing<br />

from the National Norwegian Film School in Lillehammer, and has previously<br />

directed the short films Closer to Hong Kong (1998) and Wild Salmon (2003).<br />

Man Woman Coffee is his feature-length debut.


An encounter with people living under extremely restricted conditions, in Mexico, Russia, Brazil<br />

and Oslo. The film is also a critical investigation of the negative consequences of neoliberal economical<br />

politics. The project examines the claim that it's in the interest of certain economical and<br />

social forces to preserve modern slavery, and that these forces are supported by corrupt authorities<br />

and indirect participation by multinational companies.<br />

– With a powerful political message and intense human portrayals, this may turn out to be<br />

an important political film from two of our most distinguished documentary film makers.<br />

Thomas Robsahm (1964) made his debut in front of the camera already as an<br />

8-year-old in the film Five Days in August by Svend Wam, and had several roles<br />

in Wam & Vennerød films. He worked as script supervisor, assistant director,<br />

assistant editor, production collaborator and launch consultant until his debut<br />

as director in 1987. Since then, he has made a number of short films, documentaries<br />

for cinema and TV, before his feature film debut in 1992 with the film<br />

Rebels with a Cause. In 1995, Robsahm founded the company Speranza Film,<br />

and since then he has worked as both producer and director.<br />

In 1967, the young Fred Robsahm ventured out into the wide world in order to earn money for a<br />

sailboat. On his journey he visited Italy, where his sister lived. It's on the film set of Barbarella<br />

where Fred's film adventures took off. Fred staid on in Italy. During the next 15 years he acted in<br />

a whole lot of Western films and historical dramas. He met the woman of his life, and settled<br />

down. For a while.<br />

His purpose had always been to get enough money together for a sailboat. In one naive<br />

moment he made a wrong move. He agreed to bring a sailboat from Spain to Italy. No questions<br />

asked, only sailing, the sea and the wind. Fred brought the boat to shore in Rome, and<br />

went home to his girlfriend. That night, the police turned up and fetched him. In that moment,<br />

Fred lost his freedom, his girlfriend, his health and his future.<br />

Even Benestad (1974) studied cinematography at The Oslo Film and Television<br />

Academy. His first feature-length documentary All About My Father (2002) was<br />

screened at more than 100 film festivals, and received both national and international<br />

acclaim.


In a state-run orphanage in the Xinjiang province in China, the children learn tightrope walking.<br />

The children are Uyghurs, the largest Muslim minority in China. The Uyghurs are systematically<br />

supressed. At least 10.000 of them are imprisoned on suspicion of separatism, and<br />

hundreds have been executed. Dawaz – tightrope walking – is an ancient Uyghur tradition.<br />

On a Tightrope follows four of the orphanage children in their struggle to create a better<br />

life for themselves. They talk about their frustration in having to train so hard, only to find<br />

out later that it was to no avail. Even if not all of them want to become professional tightrope<br />

walkers, they feel that they have failed. At this time, an old, retired tightrope walker turns up<br />

and becomes their new coach. With love and patience, he teaches the children tightrope walking,<br />

this time successfully.<br />

Petr Lom is a former educator. With a Ph.D. from Harvard University, he<br />

taught at several European universities from 1999-2004. He began making documentaries<br />

in 2004, specializing in human rights films. His first film, Bride<br />

Kidnapping in Kyrgyzstan (which he independently produced, directed, shot<br />

and edited), is currently enjoying great success on the international festival circuit<br />

and to date has been sold to over 20 countries.<br />

PORNOSTJERNE?<br />

PORN STAR?<br />

Porn Star? follows a young exhibitionistic woman, Vanessa (19), in her search for love, attention<br />

and credibility. The story begins with her initiating a relationship with Norway's most<br />

high-profile male porn star, Thomas «Rocco» Hansen. The film follows this enterprising duo<br />

around with their small entourage, crew and wannabee fans. It also records the baffling recruiting<br />

strategy Rocco and his cohorts use to get new «actresses»; namely by stalking young (female)<br />

high school graduates during a month long, 24/7, drug crazed and beer drinking high<br />

school graduation party of parties – Norwegian-style.<br />

Society seems to embrace them. Young people want to get to know them. The characters incite<br />

the viewer to feel a wide spectrum of emotions: pity, shame, envy, and even rage. Yet fundamentally,<br />

we know as a film viewer that this is really about sex for money.<br />

John Sullivan has studied film at the San Francisco Art Institute, the School of<br />

Visual Arts (New York) and in Rockport, Maine. His merits as director and screenwriter<br />

so far consist of several documentaries, shorts and commercials, music videos<br />

and drama for TV. His first feature, Play, was released in July 2003. His documentary<br />

from Afghanistan, Home of the Brave – Land of the Free from 2003 received<br />

the National Film Award Amanda for Best Documentary in 2004.


During the year of 2007, twelve convicted men and women who are in the process of being released<br />

from prison will write, produce, arrange and act in a theatre performance. We follow Halvard,<br />

Line and Jeanette throughout this year and through this rehabilitation program. Halvard has<br />

three convictions for assault and attempted murder and is now sitting in preventive custody. Line<br />

has been released for a year now. She suffers from ADHD and has had problems with drugs. She<br />

is trying to connect again with her fourteen-year-old son. Jeanette is a young girl of twenty who<br />

has struggled her entire life. She has been left a number of times and has experienced more abandonment<br />

than most. It is a tough year for all of them, and most likely 9 out of the 12 will end up<br />

behind bars again. Trying Freedom shows that, to a large extent, it makes people incapable of returning<br />

to daily life without comprehensive, and often basic, help.<br />

Trying Freedom is director Thor Bekkavik's first cinema documentary, but this<br />

is not the first time he treats a difficult subject. He has formerly written, directed<br />

and produced the documentary Advent, broadcast by TV2. The last few years as<br />

well, Thor Bekkavik has had success with his short films. Solitude and the newly<br />

completed tragic comedy Revolver are also parts of this trilogy, in which «standing<br />

alone» is a permeating theme.<br />

SANNHETSJEGEREN<br />

NEMESIS<br />

In the 70's, the university city of Trondheim is shocked by the gruesome rape and murder of<br />

two young female students. The young TV journalist Tore Sandberg reports on the investigation<br />

which ultimately leads to severely disabled Fritz Moen serving close to 19 years in prison.<br />

30 years later: Tore Sandberg is now a successful private investigator, who specialises in solving<br />

miscarriages of justice. But this case has been nagging him for years. He digs ever deeper:<br />

exposing lies and criminal negligence all the way up to the Supreme Court. But Fritz is a broken<br />

man. Can Tore clear his name before he dies?<br />

Erlend E. Mo has primarily made documentary films, but enjoys the grey zone<br />

between fiction and documentary. His fiction film Forbidden Love was awarded<br />

the Terje Vigen prize in 1999, Welcome to Denmark received the prize for Best<br />

Documentary Film at Odense International Film Festival in 2003, and the children's<br />

film Can You Die in Heaven? has won a number of awards in Denmark<br />

and the international award Silver Cub in the IDFA Amsterdam, «The Cannes<br />

of documentary films» in 2006.


What does a Norwegian pig eat? How far does non-travelling food really travel? Does every chicken<br />

farming industry.<br />

Are Syvertsen and Jon Martin Førland have previously made the TV<br />

SNØHULEMANNEN<br />

THE SNOW CAVEMAN<br />

The Snow Cave Man has lived in snow caves high up in the icy Norwegian mountains for 20 years.<br />

Like Nietzsche's Zarathustra, he has developed his own morale code and a biting sense of humour.<br />

He is a true environmentalist, but in his own way, living among the blizzards and reindeer<br />

high up in the Norwegian mountains. The Snow Cave Man is shocked to receive the news that<br />

his mother has died. She leaves behind a clear message to him in the form of an ultimatum: In her<br />

last will and testament he inherits her apartment in the city, valued at euro 100 000, but on the<br />

condition that he lives in the apartment or uses the money to purchase permanent housing and<br />

settles down like a normal person. What will The Snow Cave Man do? Give up his life as a free<br />

spirit in the mountains – or forfeit the money from his inheritance?<br />

Fridtjof Kjæreng (1964), has worked 12 years as an independent producer/director<br />

in the film and television industry in Norway. He has background from studies<br />

of philosophy from the University in Tromsø, Norway. After a year of Filmand<br />

TV studies in Australia he completed his film and TV education in 1987.<br />

Kjæreng has varied TV experience. In 1995 he founded f(x) productions AS to<br />

concentrate on developing progressive documentary content for national TV.


USA vs Al-Arian is a thought-provoking and powerful documentary film following the<br />

Muslim family Al-Arian and their desperate fight to clear themselves of terror charges set forth<br />

by the US authorities.<br />

In February 2003, university professor and Palestine activist Sami Al-Arian was arrested in<br />

Tampa, Florida, on charges of having supported a Palestine terror organization. For two and<br />

a half years, he was kept in isolation, awaiting his trial.<br />

The film closely follows Sami, his wife Nahla and their five children through the six<br />

months long trial, and the following period. The film takes up issues like freedom of speech,<br />

xenophobia and the right to a fair trial. It renders a shocking insight into how the US fear of<br />

and fight against terrorism may endanger civil rights.<br />

Line Halvorsen studied film in Trondheim and Volda. She has worked as a director<br />

and editor for a number of documentaries for Norwegian and foreign<br />

television. Between 2002 and 2004, she lived in Bethlehem in the Palestine,<br />

where she made the prize-winning documentary A Stone's Throw Away. In<br />

2004, she moved to the USA, where she worked on USA vs Al-Arian until last<br />

fall. In addition, she has been working as a freelance journalist.<br />

YODOK STORIES<br />

YODOK STORIES<br />

North Korea is a country where human rights do not exist. George Orwell's vision in 1984 pales in<br />

comparison with Kim Jung Il's ruthless totalitarian regime. Today, hundreds of thousands of men,<br />

women and children are locked up in North Korea's concentration camps. They are systematically<br />

tortured and starved. They do not think anybody know about them. They think there's no hope. It<br />

goes on right now.<br />

The film follows a 36 year old North Korean defector, Jung Sung San, who is one of very few<br />

who has managed to escape from the North Korean gulag to freedom in South Korea. With his own<br />

life at risk he organizes a controversial musical about his experiences as prisoner in Yodok camp with<br />

the help of other escapees. By their testimonies the horrors of the Yodok camp is exposed.<br />

Andrzej Fidyk has directed more than 40 documentary films and has been<br />

awarded a number of prizes for his work. Many regard Fidyk as one of Europe's<br />

finest directors, and his filmography includes Battu's Bioscope (aka Mobile<br />

Cinema of Dreams, 1998) and The Parade (1989). Fidyk is a long term partner of<br />

Piraya Film AS where he has also directed Belarusian Waltz.

Georg lives with his mother Veronika in Oslo. On his eighteenth birthday, he receives a thick letter<br />

from his father, Jan Olav, which his father wrote just before he died, when Georg was only six<br />

years old. On the same day, Georg is going to the mountains, equipped with skis and telescope,<br />

in order to photograph a rare celestial phenomenon. He is ambivalent concerning his father's letter,<br />

and has repressed his memories of him. Still, he brings the letter with him. On the train to<br />

the mountains, he meets Stella, of the same age as him. In the letter, his father asks Georg a fundamental<br />

existential question: What's the point of living when we're going to die anyway, maybe<br />

even when life is at its best? Would you want to be born if you had a choice? But before Georg<br />

is allowed to answer, his father wants to tell him a story about the Orange Girl he met in 1982.<br />

In the winter of 2006 four youngsters were brutally murdered in the Norwegian mountains.<br />

Among the five friends, only one girl survived.<br />

Cold and weak she fights her way back to civilization. At the local hospital everything is<br />

calm, until a bloody and beaten Jannicke arrives. When Jannicke slowly awakens in her bed it<br />

is dark everywhere. The hospital seems abandoned. Jannicke sneaks out of her bed to investigate<br />

the empty corridors…Is the nightmare not over yet?


Rino Hanssen is 30 years old, obsessed with porn, and has never been with a woman. He lives<br />

in an apartment owned by his father, and he has only one friend: the asthmatic, misantropic<br />

Filip. Suddenly his father rents out one of the rooms in the apartment to a young girl called<br />

Malin, an emancipated and seemingly unconcerned individual who seeks affirmation through<br />

sex, friends and a wild life. All of a sudden, Rino's strong fortress has been invaded by the<br />

world which he has worked so long on shutting out. Through his acquaintance with Malin<br />

and her friends, Rino gradually takes the chance of becoming part of the world he through his<br />

entire life has tried to avoid, and he is doomed to fail! This is the most unromantic comedy of<br />

all times. A story about daring to be who you really are, and even if the world is a messed up<br />

place, you just have to make the best of it.<br />

Max Manus is the true story of the resistance fighter of the same name, who in spite of being<br />

one of the most wanted men by the Gestapo in Norway, participated in some of the most daring<br />

sabotage attacks during the Second World War.<br />

After having fought as a volunteer in the Finnish-Russian Winter War, Max Manus returns<br />

home to a Norway occupied by the Germans, in the spring of 1940. Before long, he and<br />

his buddies Gregers Gram and Gunnar Sønsteby start making trouble for the Germans. They<br />

build up a resistance network. From their safe apartment in Oslo, they carry out sabotage attacks<br />

against important Nazi targets, and they become increasingly more scheming. But the<br />

Gestapo investigator Siegfried Fehmer works determinedly and patiently to stop Max, and<br />

soon he starts to unravel the network around him.<br />

PAX<br />

PAX<br />

Nord is a road movie comedy set in romantic natural surroundings. It's the story of the athlete<br />

Jomar, who has isolated himself in a sad and lonely existence after a mental crisis five years earlier.<br />

On a snowmobile, with five litres of moonshine as provisions, Jomar embarks on the dramatic<br />

journey towards Tammok valley, where his ex-girlfriend lives with his child. This turns into a<br />

weird expedition, in which Jomar does everything in his power not to reach his destination, and<br />

during which he gets acquainted with other tender and confused souls, who all contribute to<br />

pushing Jomar further ahead on his reluctant journey towards reality.<br />

Pax is a drama about 24 hours in the lives of six people. They are on their way from Copenhagen<br />

to Oslo- and a human heart is on its way from one body to another. They all meet on board a<br />

plane on which one of the engines suddenly explodes. Pax weaves several love stories into a tribute<br />

to life in all its aspects. This is a film about destiny, coincidence and about what we ourselves are<br />

able to decide. Pax is both slang for airline passengers and also a word meaning «peace.» From<br />

being passengers under the power of destiny, this journey becomes an opportunity for them all to<br />

see the possibilities in making your peace with life as it is – you cannot control what life does to<br />

you, but you can control your reactions to it. To be stuck in a plane which might crash is nobody's<br />

favourite dream, but for some, it turns out to be the best thing that could happen to them.


This is a story about the journey of a father and son through a landscape of sorrow, after they tragically<br />

lose the one person they love the most. The film depicts how they deal with their new everyday<br />

life without her, and their struggle to gain control over the new situation. The deceased woman<br />

was the «glue» that kept the family together, and without her they feel like they have to make<br />

a new start, a situation which wears them both out. The father feels the loss of this woman so<br />

strongly that he isn't able to pull himself together and take responsibility for his own and his<br />

son's life. In pure desperation he meets with Childcare, and when his son is temporarily sent to an<br />

orphanage, he isolates himself from his surroundings and rejects every attempt of contact, even<br />

from his own son. But the son refuses to give up the hope that they can become a family again,<br />

and fights bravely to get his father back to life.<br />

The child wanderer, ten year old Yohan, tackles life's hardships with optimism and inventiveness.<br />

But is it enough to save the hard-working 8 year old Anna at the neighbouring farm? Yohan is<br />

challenged by the tough life in the Norway of a hundred years ago. He is sent away to work on a<br />

farm miles away from home, and finds himself in an adventure battling wolves and bears.<br />

Yohan – The Child Wanderer tells the story about the period during which a lot of<br />

Norwegians emigrated to America, when a dream was a necessary incentive in order to survive.<br />

This is a story about never giving in.<br />

Writer and director Grete Salomonsen has written a screenplay that will thrill and entertain<br />

the whole family. She and producer Odd Hynnekleiv created the classic Kamilla and the<br />

Thief, and are once more ready to make an unforgettable film about love, hardships, struggles<br />

and family.<br />

NORSK FILMINSTITUTT – THE NEW INSTITUTION FOR FILM ACTIVITIES<br />

From April 1, Norwegian Film Fund, Norwegian Film Institute and<br />

Norwegian Film Development will be merged into a new institution,-<br />

<strong>Norsk</strong> <strong>filminstitutt</strong>. This is one step in the follow-up to the White<br />

Paper no. 22 (2006-2007) «The Pathfinder for Norwegian Film<br />

Progress». The new institution, which will be led by Managing<br />

Director Nina Refseth, will administer subsidy arrangements and other<br />

means of development, production, and distribution of<br />

Norwegian audiovisual products. <strong>Norsk</strong> <strong>filminstitutt</strong> will also work actively<br />

to promote film culture and the Norwegian film heritage toward<br />

a broad audience. <strong>Norsk</strong> <strong>filminstitutt</strong> will be the State administrative<br />

body for film policy, and consultant to the Ministry of Culture<br />

and Church Affairs in film policy matters.<br />

The State administrative apparatus also includes The National<br />

Library, which as of January 1 took over the film archives, film library<br />

and film documentation from The Norwegian Film Institute, and<br />

Film&Kino, which among other things administers undertakings on<br />

the cinema and video front, children's film work, and support for<br />

film festivals.<br />

<strong>Norsk</strong> <strong>filminstitutt</strong> will consist of 5 departments, each one led by a<br />

department director. The largest and most important will be<br />

Development and Production, which will administer various support<br />

arrangements, among them support based on consultation assessment,<br />

support after market assessment, ticket support etc. The<br />

56 NORWEGIAN FILMS 2008<br />

Promotion and Distribution department works with various measures<br />

for national and international profiling, and is responsible for the<br />

film commission work toward foreign producers. The Audience department's<br />

objective is to promote increased understanding and awareness<br />

about audiovisual expression. Cinematheque, exhibitions, publishing<br />

and store activities, VOD and DVD publications are included<br />

in this department's activities. In addition, an Information department<br />

and an Administrative department have been established.<br />

<strong>Norsk</strong> <strong>filminstitutt</strong> will still be located in the Film House in central<br />

Oslo, which will also house the film activities of the National<br />

Library. The House includes two modern cinema theatres, a café,<br />

conference rooms, and offices for a number of national organizations<br />

within the area of film.<br />

FILM&KINO is a trade organization for the film, cinema and video<br />

industry. It is also a municipal member organization, which by the<br />

end of the year 2007 counted 150 municipalities as members. <strong>Norsk</strong><br />

kino- og filmfond (The Norwegian Cinema and Film Foundation),<br />

Bygdekinoen (the ambulatory cinema) and the periodical Film&<br />

Kino are also administered by the organization.<br />

FILM&KINO's objective is to secure the distribution and screening<br />

of a broad, high quality film selection all over the country, through a<br />

number of support schemes. Advisers in the organization are working<br />

with the cinema industry, developing projects, giving economic<br />

support and functioning as advisers for the cinema and video business,<br />

as well as serving the regions with ambulatory rural cinema<br />

screenings nationwide.<br />

Approximately 1/3 of all films screened in Norway have received<br />

some sort of support from FILM&KINO. In 2007, 42 films which<br />

under «normal» circumstances would not have obtained theatrical<br />

release in Norway were screened as a direct consequence of these arrangements.<br />

In addition, FILM&KINO supports children's films by<br />

financing extra copies, distribution support and by funding<br />

Norwegian versions (dubbing) of children's films.<br />

National marketing campaigns are also among FILM&KINO's priorities.<br />

To mention a few; The Cinema Day, Summer Cinema, holiday<br />

campaigns during the fall and winter, the gift certificate campaign<br />

before Christmas and campaigns for increased DVD use are all<br />

regular market campaigns initiated and run by FILM&KINO.<br />

Per capita Norway is among the largest consumers of DVDs in the<br />

world. FILM&KINO have several support arrangements which secure<br />

video distribution for Norwegian short films. Through the «S»<br />

film arrangement, arthouse films can be found in video stores all<br />

around the country.<br />

In addition to the support arrangements, the organization's consultants<br />

conduct extensive guidance and course activities within the fields<br />

of technology, marketing, information, management, programming<br />

and administration.<br />

FILM&KINO is the main owner of The Norwegian International<br />

Film Festival. In addition, FILM&KINO distributes support to<br />

most other film festivals in Norway through a committee appointed<br />

by the Ministry of culture, and also have support schemes for local<br />

cinemas where they can get funding for «smaller» activities like school<br />

related cinema activities or other special events.<br />

LEADING FILM FESTIVALS IN NORWAY<br />

BERGEN INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL October<br />

Bergen International Film Festival (BIFF) is arranged anually in<br />

October, and is one of the largest and most interesting film festivals<br />

in Norway. The varied festival programme of over 120 feature length<br />

films is of high quality. BIFF has a particularly large section of international<br />

documentaries dealing with contemporary issues. BIFF gathers<br />

some media and industry delegates, but is first and foremost an<br />

audience festival - with an audience of 39.780 in 2007.<br />

FILM FRA SØR | FILMS FROM THE SOUTH October<br />

Since it started in 1991, Films from the South has presented well over<br />

1000 films from Asia, Africa and Latin America which would otherwise<br />

never have been screened in the cinemas in the capital. The<br />

Eastern region is the country's most populated area, with significant<br />

multiethnic variety – and the Festival's primary objective has been to<br />

present this audience with the multiplicity of quality films produced<br />

outside Europe and Hollywood.<br />

58 NORWEGIAN FILMS 2008<br />

KORTFILMFESTIVALEN | THE NORWEGIAN SHORT FILM FESTIVAL June<br />

The Short Film Festival is a siginificant debut arena for many young<br />

film makers in Norway, and for the established film makers maybe<br />

the most important screening place for free and independent film in<br />

the country. The competition on the short film scene also draws film<br />

makers from the rest of the world to Grimstad, and the Festival aims<br />

at furthering contacts between the Norwegian and the international<br />

film milieu. In addition to the competition programmes, the Festival<br />

presents retrospectives, international documentaries, newer film and<br />

video experiments, and professional seminars.<br />

KOSMORAMA TRONDHEIM INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL April<br />

Kosmorama Trondheim International Film Festival aspires to screen<br />

a multitude of films and impressions from all over the world. In addition<br />

to the main program there are several special sections, retrospectives<br />

and a short film program in collaboration with Minimalen<br />

Short Film Festival. Kosmorama is more than just a festival for the finished<br />

film, but also an arena for films in progress - the films and<br />

film makers of tomorrow.


KRISTIANSAND INTERNATIONAL CHILDREN’S FILM FESTIVAL April<br />

The main program (competition) is dedicated to feature films for<br />

children. The Youth program (14+) consists of approximately 10 feature<br />

films. Sidebars: Panorama, short film and documentaries.<br />

Presentation of new Nordic children- and youth films.<br />

THE NORWEGIAN INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL AND NEW<br />

NORDIC FILMS August<br />

The Norwegian International Film Festival's Main Programme is devoted<br />

to feature films for theatrical release. Titles are selected on artistic<br />

merit. The festival cooperates closely with Norwegian and<br />

Scandinavian distributors in selecting films for screening at the festival,<br />

and Nordic bodies/sales agents for screening at New Nordic<br />

Films. Films selected should ideally be signed for Norway, but the<br />

festival also makes a point of inviting a limited number of films that<br />

should be of interest to a Norwegian and Scandinavian audience.<br />

The Norwegian International Film Festival takes place from August<br />

14 to 21, 2008, and New Nordic Films from August 14 to 17.<br />

OSLO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL November<br />

Oslo International Film Festival will screen a wide selection of feature<br />

films, documentaries, animation and shorts carefully selected from<br />

current productions around the world. Special focus on new talents,<br />

American Independents, New European Cinema, Films from Asia,<br />

and Latin American Films. Deadline entries: October 1.<br />

TROMSØ INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL January<br />

Tromsø International Film Festival is Norway's largest film festival<br />

measured by audience numbers. The programme profile is international<br />

films and documentaries of high artistic quality. The largest side<br />

programme is Film from the North, which shows new short films<br />

and documentaries from Northern Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia<br />

and Canada.<br />
