A new spring for Norwegian Films
After a record breaking year in 2010, where Norwegian productions took a 23.4% share of the cinema market, there is a great
optimism and energy in the Norwegian film industry. The talent
pool and diversity in expressions and genres have never been
bigger. More filmmakers are able to realize their projects, which
raises the level of competence.
Norwegian films have already made their mark at the international
festival circuit this year. André Øvredal’s The Troll Hunter continue
to dazzle US audiences with strong reviews and sold out festival
screenings at Sundance. Anne Sewitsky’s painfully funny feature
debut Happy, Happy also made its way into the hearts of the Park
City festival crowd and was awarded with the World Cinema Jury
Price. The director won two prizes in Berlin’s Generation Kplus in
2009 for her short Oh My God!, and she is now set to open the
Berlinale Generation competition with her second feature Totally
True Love. Martin Lund’s Twigson Ties the Knot – last year’s biggest
local success, exceeding 400,000 admissions in the cinemas, will
have its international premiere in the same section, together with
Arild Andresen’s The Liverpool Goalie and the two shorts Jenny,
by Ingvild Søderlind and The Last Norwegian Troll, by acclaimed
animator Pjotr Sapegin. Ole Giæver is also an upcoming director to
watch, and his debut feature film The Mountain has been selected
for the Panorama section this year. The Norwave has also finally
hit Sweden, where Marius Holst’s King of Devil’s Island is leading
a Norwegian invasion at the Göteborg International Film Festival
this year.
And there is more to come. In the fall we will see Joachim Trier,
who received critical praise and awards for his debut Reprise, re
turn with a much awaited second feature in the existential drama
Oslo, August 31st. Junk mail director Pål Sletaune will be ready
with his thrilling drama Babycall, featuring Sweden’s international
film star Noomi Rapace. Buddy director Morten Tyldum will be
back with the sophisticated thriller Headhunters, based on author
Jo Nesbø’s international bestseller by the same name. And finally
The Bothersome Man director Jens Lien presents Sons of Norway,
a coming of age story about identity, rebellion and punk rock.
The Norwegian Film Institute recently handed out 100 million
NOK in production grants to films from well known directors like
Nils Gaup, Sara Johnsen, Vibeke Idsøe, Erik Skjoldbjærg, all to be
premiered in 2012.
In the year to come we will see big changes in distribution and
consumption patterns. Norway will be the first fully digitalized
cinema market in the world and it is more important than ever to
have a national film production that offers quality, diversity and
strength. In order to achieve this we will have to continue to work
with an international focus and strengthen the ties with producers
and talent everywhere.

Vacation time. The 12-year-olds Maja, Rikke and Ohna are lazing around
Ohna’s family restaurant Saigon House. They have great ambitions; they’re
planning to not lift a finger this summer. But then the police come around,
and find drugs hidden in the restaurant’s cold storage room. Saigon House
is closed down, and Ohna’s elder brother is arrested. The girls know he is
innocent, but he will not be released from prison before the drug ring is
exposed. The East End Angels take on the case. They soon find themselves
in the middle of a drama involving human trafficking, car chases, karate kicks,
romance and spring rolls. Maja is smart, Ohna knows karate, Rikke sings like a
lark. Together, they balance on top of high fences, and on the edge of the law,

A Letter to the King follows a group of refugees on a bus bound for Oslo visiting
the capital city in a land promising new beginnings. But for five people living
on the outskirts of society, it’s a day to rectify the past and justify a new future.
Beritan has a name, face and eight hours to avenge her husbands’ death.
Akhbar must collect the money he is owed to buy a passport or face deportation. Zirek goes to great lengths to meet a girl and perhaps for just a moment,
feel like a normal teenager. And Mirza, an 82 year old man, hopes to return
to Iraq to bury his children found in one of Saddam’s mass graves. The King
of Norway is his last hope in granting him his final wish.
Though director Hisham Zaman’s characters may be foreigners in a new
land, they are people with desires that live within us all. A Letter to the King
will show us the streets of Oslo from a side unknown to most, by people
unknown to all.

and the machine evaporates with Gaus and Roms on board. The machine re
surfaces in the Viking age, after a journey 1000 years back in time, close to
where the amusement park Tusenfryd outside Oslo is situated today.
Gaus and Roms have to settle a blood-spilling conflict between the two
Viking clans Badejarlene and Granbarkebirkebeinerne. The dispute is all about
which clan should get hold of the sword Tyrfing, a magical and invincible
sword which guarantees its owner nearly unlimited wealth and power. But
the sword is also inflicted with a terrible curse… All this is taking place while
Brumund holds the fort at home, and communicates with his brothers over
the Time Telephone, a kind of fancy video phone.

Ulrik is a somewhat gentle man. He has killed some people and crippled a few.
But this sort of stuff is part of the job when working in the criminal world.
Just like doing time in prison.
Now Ulrik is out again. Reluctantly… And Jensen is waiting on the outside.
He’s a thug with professional pride. He takes care of his people and is concerned with keeping things in order. It is important for the boss that Ulrik
settles his account by shooting the guy who ratted him out.
Ulrik is a somewhat gentle man. He has no special wishes and makes no
demands. He does not give too much thought to what he does either. He just
does it. Whether this be a little affection or a killing.
Then he looks up his son who has now become a grown man. A good man
with an education, a girlfriend, and a future. But the son has a father who’s
a murderer. His girlfriend doesn’t like it.
Ulrik is a somewhat gentle man – but how gentle can he be?

A young man dreams of becoming a journalist, in order to write stories which
may change the world. This does not turn out as planned, and instead he ends
up as a reporter for the celebrity magazine «Se og Hør». We are observing a
man who gradually loses all inhibitions in order to reach the top in the country’s
largest weekly magazine. He participates in the media’s intense chase on future
Crown Princess Mette-Marit, and enters a close relationship with her father.
This friendship is exploited for all it’s worth, providing «Se og Hør» with the
best and most controversial source in the magazine’s history. Week after week,
the young journalist is able to deliver unique material for the front page, and
he quickly becomes the great star among the editorial staff.
Just Another Day at the Office is a humorous film, but will also relate the
story of the dirty methods, fat cheques, and generous portions of false flattery
behind the best stories. A film without great heroes, in a reality the dimensions
of which most of us do not grasp.

Glenn has been dumped by his girlfriend. He is lonely, and terribly difficult to
deal with. He lives in a commune with three other slackers in their late twenties.
To cheer him up, his buddies get a brilliant idea. How about organizing a fake
audition for a non-existing feature film? The role to be advertised will include
all the qualities Glenn is looking for in a girl, and maybe he will find a new girlfriend during the audition rounds. After a series of unsuccessful auditions, they
find Linda, a girl that Glenn falls for immediately. So much so that he offers her
the part in order to be able to hang out with her. Not the smartest move ever.
As a relationship starts developing between the two, questions arise. Like, when
will shooting start? What’s the budget like? Who will play the other roles? It
all culminates when it turns out that Linda’s mother is a wealthy investor who
insists on providing capital for the production. To keep up appearances and to
save what may potentially develop with Linda, Glenn and the boys have to start
their production and actually make the film.
Patrik Syversen’s feature film debut was Manhunt.
He is a typical film fanatic, and loves horror film
just as much as character drama. He graduated from

Markus and Robert have finally reached their goal. 12 years of schooling
are nearly over, and everything they’ve learned is to be washed away in an
unprecedented celebration. Their only problem is that they reside in Ødvåg,
Norways tiniest and most windswept dump, and that the money they saved
up for the celebration is nowhere to be found. So the challenge is to get
together the greatest graduation celebration ever, without cash. And of course
to get laid. Markus’ target is Caroline. The most attractive broad at school.
Together with Truls, Kjell Arne and Vigdis – or Owlis as Kjell Arne calls her,
they dig out a wreck of a minibus from an abandoned barn. And with a minor
financial contribution from the Chinese exchange student Yao Ming, it looks
like they might even get it on the road. The road to Nirvana: The graduate
gathering in Stavanger!

Bent Hamer’s sixth feature film Home for Christmas is based on several
stories from the Norwegian writer Levi Henriksen’s collection of short stories
Bare mjuke pakker under treet. The plot unfolds during a few afternoon
hours on Christmas Eve. The individual stories, which at times intertwine,
are set in the small town Skogli. The characters in the stories cover a great
range in age and life situations, representing both reconciliation with their
own lives and strong frustration. Some show the will to understand and do
something about their lives, while others have given up. Deeply tragic and
melancholy aspects are mixed with humour and rather frivolous solutions.
Director, scriptwriter, producer, and owner of the
film production company BulBul Film AS (est. 1994)
Bent Hamer, was born in Sandefjord, Norway. He was
educated in Film Theory and Literature at Stockholms
Universitet and Stockholms Filmskola. His latest

It is the summer of 1951. Lillian and Amund Wang have their first and only
child. A boy. Or is it a girl? Outside, there’s a solar eclipse. The birds stop
singing. The parents refuse the surgery which could have made Adrian a
complete human being. The apartment in Oscarsgate turns into a hothouse
where the most horrible flowers grow. This is where the divided Adrian
grows up, with simulation, silence, lies and dying love. This is where he
learns to know his shamelessness.
In the summer of 1966, Adrian overhears the conversation which will sum
up and seal his fate. He does not choose the role of the victim, but that of
the aggressor: He declares war on his parents, and gathers an energy which
proves redeeming, but also perilous to everyone around him, as he gradually
loses control over it.

The robbery itself is the main character of the story, and it is illuminated
from several angles in the course of the film, from the perspective of the

PAX is a grand-scale drama. An intimate and powerful romantic film about
seven people’s encounter with themselves as life forces them into the raging
storm. They all have someone waiting. PAX, the Latin word for peace, is also
flight terminology for flight passengers. When flying in an airplane we are
all «pax».
Seven people are on their way from Stockholm to Oslo, a heart is on its
way from one body to another, and a piece of music is in the process of being composed. A conductor, a physician, a nun, a journalist, a photographer,
a publisher and a ten year old girl are among the passengers on board a
fully booked airplane. One of the plane’s engines explodes, the cabin pressure
falls, and the plane has to descend to a lower altitude, with turbulent weather
conditions. The next day, nothing is like it used to be.

Ali and his gang are back. After a somewhat involuntary «vacation» in one
of the capital’s rather draughty establishments, Ali has finally had it. He has
a plan which cannot go wrong; he will become a law-abiding citizen. Just like
a number of prosperous men in his family, Ali is going to get a kebab shop
together, and get rich from feeding drunken, hungry Norwegians. The brown
gold will make him a wealthy man. But of course it doesn’t work out as
planned. Because it’s no piece of cake to deprive a Danish drug baron of his
freedom or a bunch of North Norwegian moonshiners of their future revenue.
It leads to consequences – and when Ali is released from Oslo Prison, they
all form a welcome committee. Before the kebab meat has time to turn lukewarm, the boys have to make amends. Which does not prove inexpensive.
All they need is a racecourse, a circus and a money transport.

The Troll Hunter is a sensational documentary which exposes the Norwegian
Government’s monumental efforts to hide the sensational news that trolls
actually exists in Norway – and has done so over millenniums. Within the
corridors of the Government there is a secret department – The Troll Security
Service – who’s job is to monitor the trolls. They also have the power to call
in a Troll Hunter to cover up problems if trolls break out of their reservations.
The film will show actual shots of trolls in their real environment and it
also raises the issue of what tragic fate befell the young film team who came
across this state secret.

evidence points to their foster son, 16 year old Jan Egil. But Varg knows
the boy from his work in Child Care, and it does not make sense to him the
way it does to Hamre, not even when the boy confesses. Varg finds an ally
in Cecilie, an old flame in Child Care, and discovers that the murdered couple
ran a shady operation which earned them several enemies, in a cynical trade
in which the lives of young people are at stake. Varg comes under pressure
to solve the case before even more innocent youths are killed.

The Scandinavian family man Gunnar feels that despite having everything
he needs in his middleclass life, something is missing. He longs for silence
and spirituality, and decides to travel to the world’s first Christian monastery
in Egypt to find some answers. During the journey we take part in Gunnar’s

lives, but also the problematic potential in organized religion.
In the monastery, Gunnar takes part in the everyday life of the monks,
asking them questions about reality, solitude and death. Is their reality based
on silence, prayers and meditation, something we in our rational reality long
for and maybe need? Is it possible to bring something of this into our lives?

Two brothers in their fourties are found dead in
the forest. By their side lies a woman, very weak,
but still alive.
When a policeman starts investigating what happened, the woman (Janne) tells the tragic, beautiful
and lifelong love story of Janne and William, the
youngest brother. A love story always disturbed by
the older brother, Ruud, who hates his brother and
through his whole life wanted to destroy him. Ruud
blames William for his unhappy childhood and his
lost love, and Janne is the woman between them,
desired by both brothers.
Separated for years following the tragic death
of their only child, Janne and William meet again.
They move into an abandoned summerhouse by
the river. When one day a Chinese baby girl is
found floating down the river, they realize that
they are once again being haunted by Ruud.
At the outset of the film, we are transferred back to
the year 833 A.D., where we meet a group of Vikings
in the process of leaving their village. They are leaving their livestock tethered by a tiny lake. More than
a thousand years later, an archaeologist discovers that
the Oseberg Viking ship hides a secret no one has
ever been aware of. With his two children, he sets
out on an adventure to find the truth. Their journey
takes them back to the excavation of the Oseberg ship
in 1904. Old runic inscriptions take on a new meaning.
They are venturing into the Pasvikdalen valley, and
further into the «no man’s land» between Norway and
Russia, where no human being has travelled in our
present age. The journey soon proves to be far more
dramatic than they had planned, as the secret they
are revealing is more frightening than anyone had
imagined. And the setting of it all is one of the most
myth-ridden legends in our history…

is a strong, human tale about a boy growing up
with an alcoholic father, but also an energetic story
about teenage lust, pain and passion – about liberation and redemption. The Orheim Company will be
the last chapter in the trilogy about Jarle Klepp,
which started with The Man Who Loved Yngve and
I Travel Alone.

searching for the Christmas Star. The Queen died
of a broken heart, leaving the shattered King all
on his own. From that day on, the King cursed the
Christmas Star, thereby causing darkness and grief
to descend upon the land. However, an old sage has
revealed that Goldhair is still alive, and will return
only if the King finds the way back to the Christmas
Star. Ever since, the King has been searching for the

VARG VEUM – DE DØDE
HAR DET GODT
English title tba
Director: Erik Richter Strand
Screenplay: Based on Gunnar Staalesen’s short
novel De døde har det godt
Cast: Trond Espen Seim, Bjørn Floberg, Lene Nystrøm
Theresienstadt Requiem is based on a true story
about Czechoslovakian conductor Rafael Schächter
who was obsessed with staging a performance of
Verdi’s Requiem in the Nazi camp Theresienstadt
during the war. This ghetto north of Prague was
created by the Germans in order to show the rest of
the world that nothing wrong happened to the Jews
deported from their home countries. In reality, the
ghetto was a transit camp on the way to Auschwitz.
In Theresienstadt, the Nazis had gathered Jewish
artists from all over Europe, including a number of
the world’s foremost singers and musicians. The
480 Danish Jews who did not succeed in escaping
to Sweden, also ended up here. This story about
one of the most remarkable cultural events during
the Second World War is narrated through the eyes
of the 12 year old Danish boy Adam.
Varg Veum witnesses the death of a young asylum
seeker girl. Was it an accident, or was she killed
as a warning to other girls in the same circles?
Together, Varg and Karin discover that the dead girl
was deeply involved in operations in which young
women at asylum reception centres are cynically
exploited. Time works against Varg, who has to
prove the identity of the people behind the ring,
before more young girls lose their lives.

Release date: September 2011
Varg Veum is awakened by a boom which shakes the
whole town of Bergen, as an arms depot just outside town
blows up. More lives are lost in what becomes inspector
Hamre’s most extensive and most dangerous case ever. As
well as Varg’s. Because the same night, Varg’s old friend
Hjalmar is found brutally murdered in his apartment,
and Varg soon realizes there is a connection between the
two incidents. Before Varg knows it, he finds himself in
Budapest, drawn into a perilous game between an international paramilitary organization and a powerful arms
producer. And Varg realizes that this time he is in above
his head, when his girlfriend Karin vanishes.

Varg Veum is going to be a father. In a way he could
never have imagined, life takes on a new direction
as he is searching for a missing pair of siblings in the
prostitution circles in Bergen. Varg realizes that the
case is linked to a murder investigated by inspector
Hamre, in which the victim had uncomfortably close
ties to the vanished siblings. Parallel to Karin’s growing belly, the threat against Varg also increases, as
the clues point to an unscrupulous drug ring hunting
for a large missing shipment of heroin. Varg realizes
that life will never be the same when he has to make
the decision: let the criminals go free, or expose
Karin to mortal danger.
