  • Festival Description:

    The Norwegian International FIlm Festival consists of four program sections and several annually changing sidebar programs

    Main program: The festival’s official programme consists of around twenty-five films that will receive a theatrical release in Norway during the coming fall/winter/spring.

    New Nordic Films: The New Nordic Films programme will consist of around new 30 films from Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland.

    The 2007 Children’s Film Fest: The programme consists of new children’s films that will receive a theatrical release during the fall of 2007.

    15+: 15+ is a special youth programme, in which we screen films that take young people seriously – engaging, exciting and powerful films that portray young people in a time of transition and change.

    Sidebar programmes 2007

    Special screenings: These films have no other common denominator than the fact that they do not naturally fit into the main programme.

    Cinema Italia: The festival’s heart beats especially hard for Italy and Italian cinema, and we frequently present new Italian films in co-operation with the organisation Filmitalia.

    French Touch Selection 2007: Also the French cinema has a natural place in Haugesund, and this programme collects every French production and co-production at the festival, in co-operation with, among others, Unifrance and Centre Culturel Français Oslo.

    The Critics’ Week: These are films selected by recognised international film critics. The programme is presented for the tenth time, in co-operation with the Norwegian Film Critics’ Association.

    Videorama: This has been a regular feature of the festival since 2001 and consists of around seven new quality films that will be released straight to the DVD market. One of the films is selected as the festival’s candidate for a nomination in the Amanda Award category Best Film Straight to DVD.
