Norway opened its national film school in 1997, and the school has since delivered scriptwriters, producers and directors to the thriving Norwegian film industry. From 2015 the school will open up a new Masters program, which will give filmmakers the opportunity to further develop their personal voices. WHILE ON THE SUBJECT OF WAR, two of Norway’s most experienced directors will each have a go at Norwegian kings. In The Last King, Oscar nominee Nils Gaup (Pathfinder, The Kautokeino Rebellion) takes us back 800 years to the last time all Norwegian men had beards and went skiing. In The King`s Choice Erik Poppe (A Thousand Times Good Night) depicts the fateful days in April 1940, when Germany invaded Norway and the King was forced to make a crucial decision. NEWCOMERS SUCH AS Aasne Vaa Greibrokk and her drama All the Beauty, Kjersti Steinsbø’s drama-thriller Doll in the Ceiling, Charlotte Blom’s comedy Staying Alive and Yngvild Sve Flikke’s drama-comedy Women In Oversized Men’s Shirts, will show the world that exciting things are happening among the new generation of Norwegian filmmakers. THERE IS ALSO STRONG anticipation for what is regarded as the first Norwegian disaster movie; The Wave, by experienced genre film director Roar Uthaug (Cold Prey, Escape). The film depicts a massive rockslide in the beautiful Geiranger fjord triggering a tsunami with a 85-metre wave destroying everything on its way. xxxx FOLLOWING HER SUNDANCE WINNER of the world cinema grand jury prize Happy, Happy, Anne Sewitsky is returning to Sundance with a drama, Homesick, about how sibling love can manifest itself when the adult siblings have just met. And following the two successful films Reprise and Oslo, August 31st, Joachim Trier has become an established name on the international film scene and there are great expectations for his new film Louder than Bombs, starring Gabriel Byrne, Isabelle Huppert and Jesse Eisenberg in the leads. In this family drama we meet Gene and his two sons trying to cope with the death of their wife and mother, the war photographer Laura. THE CHRISTMAS OF SOLAN & LUDVIG and Doctor Proctor’s Fart Powder were among the most popular Norwegian family films in recent years. Now both children and adults are looking forward to the sequels, Solan & Ludvig – The Big Cheese Race and Doctor Proctor: Bubble in the Bathtub, again directed by Rasmus A. Sivertsen and Arild Fröhlich, respectively. We look forward to sharing these films with you.

The dungeons are gloomier, the rich and their sons meaner, the parents much more self-centered, the crazy inventors’ inventions crazier. And the beast that lives in the sewer system, brooding on revenge, could easily be a giant anaconda. In this world, the friendship between two lonely children is perhaps even more important than it is in our world. Doctor Proctor’s Fart Powder is the story about two lonely (and a bit weird) children, finding friendship, by helping Doctor Proctor to get his recognition.

Nothing will stay the same, and even when Hedi manages to overcome the crisis, both Hedi and Uli are aware that they have become other persons than before. Coyo is 15. He lives in a suburb of Mexico City set on bringing the American dream to Mexican soil. He meets Ruco, the son of a prominent politician, and leader of the kids in the neighborhood. Freedom, boredom, adrenaline and excess drive Coyo and Ruco into a journey of blood, tears, love and hate, to discover the secret dividing winners and losers in life. A semi-autobiographical drama encompassing compassion, heartache and humour in everyday life in Ethiopia. The film’s main character is a young boy who is suddenly left to face the loss of his home and family, in a country strongly affected by climate change. While the film is narrated from the perspective of a child, the theme and tone are still complex and balanced, at the same time retaining its tenderness and innocence. 65 CO-PRODUCTIONS LOVE IN KHON KAEN TBA TBA MIN COLOUR DCP 2K STEREO Apichatpong Weerasethakul SCREENPLAY Apichatpong Weerasethakul DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY Diego Garcia PRODUCERS Simon Field, Keith Griffiths and Apichatpong Weerasethakul for Kick the Machine and Illuminations Film (Thailand) NORWEGIAN COPRODUCERS Eric Vogel and Ingunn Sundelin for Tordenfilm AS CAST Jenjira Pongpas, Banlop Lomnoi RELEASE DATE 2015 NORWEGIAN DISTRIBUTOR TBA SALES TBA DRAMA A MAN NAMED OVE EN MANN VED NAVN OVE TBA MIN COLOUR DCP 2K STEREO Hannes Holm SCREENPLAY Hannes Holm based on the novel “En mann ved navn Ove” by Fredrik Backmann DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY TBA PRODUCER Annica Bellander for Tre Vänner (SE) NORWEGIAN COPRODUCERS Are Heidenstrøm og Martin Sundland for Fantefilm Fiksjon AS CAST TBA RELEASE DATE December 25, 2015 NORWEGIAN DISTRIBUTOR TBA SALES TBA DRAMA MURDER IN PACOT MEURTRE A PACOT 130 MIN COLOUR DCP 2K STEREO Raoul Peck SCREENPLAY Lyonel Trouillot, Pascal Bonitzer and Raoul Peck DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY Eric Guichard PRODUCERS Rémi Grellety and Raoul Peck for Velvet Film (FR) and Figuier Production (Haiti) NORWEGIAN COPRODUCER Ruben Thorkildsen for Ape&Bjørn AS CAST Alex Descas, Joy Olasunmibo Ogunmakin, Thibault Vincon, Lovely Kermonde Fifi RELEASE DATE 2015 NORWEGIAN DISTRIBUTOR TBA SALES TBA DRAMA DIRECTOR DIRECTOR DIRECTOR In a small town in Thailand, 27 soldiers come down with a strange case of sleeping sickness.

The Board of the Film Institute is appointed by the Ministry. The CEO is Mr Sindre Guldvog. Film & Kino is a combination of a member organisation for Norwegian municipalities and an industry organisation for the cinema and video industries. The organisation, which was established in 1917, administers the Norwegian Cinema and Film Foundation and also runs the Mobile Cinema. The Norwegian Film Institute represents and promotes Norwegian feature films, shorts, documentaries, games and TV-series at festivals and film cultural events nationally and abroad, and provides statistics and facts about Norwegian films and theatrical releases. The Norwegian Film Institute facilitates and promote Norway as an attractive location for foreign producers. Around the world, cinemas are usually owned by private companies. In Norway, however, most cinemas are owned by the municipalities. As a member organization for the municipalities, Film & Kino is looking after their interests concerning film, the running of cinemas and video activities. Membership is open to all municipalities. The organization is governed by a national convention with delegates from both the municipalities and the cinema and video industries. As of 2013 the privately owned cinemas are emerging, and they hold almost 60 per cent of the marked share. Due to this development, Film & Kino will experience changes in the owner structure in the coming years. Public funding in 2015 for audiovisual development, production and marketing is approx. € 50 million. The Film Institute also offers grants, training and talent development for the film industry. The Norwegian Film Institute is located in the Film House in Oslo, and is in charge of the Film Museum and the Cinemateque of Oslo. Through our work, we provide knowledge and understanding of the Norwegian film heritage. The Norwegian Film Institute represents Norway at the Council of Europe’s fund for co-production of film, Eurimages, as well as at the European Audiovisual Observatory. The Institute participates in a number of international co-operative efforts for the audiovisual sector, including the International Council for Educational Media, the European Film Academy, European Film Promotion, Filmkontakt Nord and Scandinavian Films. Together with the National Library, the Norwegian Film insitute is a member of the International Federation of Film Archives (FIAF). Read more about Norwegian films at www.norwegianfilms.no and the Norwegian Film database. Helps ensure public access to new and relevant films Film & Kino’s mission is to ensure the public of the entire country access to new and relevant films, either through regular theatrical releases, at festivals or through DVD. The organisation shall further both the big movie theatre experience and a purposeful use of the DVD format, as well as being a guarantor of quality and diversity. Film & Kino administers a number of support initiatives for films. About 30 per cent of the films in regular theatrical release in Norway receive support from these initiatives. In 2011 all Norwegian movie theatres became digital. During the next few years, the following up of the digitalising of Norwegian movie theatres will be one of the most important tasks for the organisation. 71 NORWEGIAN FILM INSTITUTIONS Film & Kino’s fields of operations are: • Following up the digitalisation of Norwegian movie theatres • Support the import and distribution of films •Main executive responsibility for the government’s film culture and educational programmes for children and youth • Administrating and partially financing Norwegian film festivals • Developing the cinema and video industries • Give advice and develop know-how • Information and contact point for the public Norwegian Cinema and Film Foundation Film & Kino administers the Norwegian Cinema and Film Foundation, which was established in 1970. Norwegian law instructs this foundation to charge a certain percentage of cinema ticket sales as well as a levy on video sales and rentals. Film & Kino’s activities for the cinema and video industries are then financed by this foundation. The Mobile Cinema The Mobile Cinema is Film & Kino’s arrangement for the screening of films in locations without a regular movie theatre. The Mobile Cinema brings all necessary equipment and can screen films on all kinds of premises all over the country. Regional film funds and film centres By the end of 2011 all districts in Norway, apart from Oslo, the capital, have ‘film centres’, ‘film funds’ and/or ‘film commissions’. They all have regional as well as governmental support. The national goals are to stimulate strengthened production infrastructure, professionality and continuity in all parts of the production – and increased talent development. 72 There are eight film centres, six regional film funds and three regional film commissions, of whom some are co-located regionally. In addition there is a national film commission. International Sami Film Institute serves the Sami population all over Norway as well as those living in Sweden, Finland and Russia. The Film Centres are based on cultural grounds. Their main mission is to support development and production of short films and documentaries, and to raise competence among professionals and spot, cultivate and support young talents. The Film Funds can support audiovisual productions of all genres and formats, including international co-productions and video games. They are not allowed (by the government) to contribute financially to the production of feature films for cinema that are supported by the Norwegian Film Institute. Governmental support requires regional contribution with at least the same amount of money to the fund. Furthermore the governmental support cannot be spent on managing the organisation. The Film Commissions are based on trade grounds, and offer facilitation for foreign productions in their region. The Regional Film Commissions collaborate with the national film commission – Film Commission Norway (FCN)– who is an integral part of Norwegian Film Institute. FCN generate to encourage and facilitate international film productions all over Norway, and acts as a link between the national and the international film and television industry.
