REMEMBER OUR NEW submission DEADLINES!
Please note that we have changed the 2010 submission deadline for Nordisk Panorama! Instead of one deadline for all films on 15 May, there will be two deadlines: The first deadline is 15 February for films made in 2009. The second deadline remains on 15 May for films completed in 2010.
So if your film is already finished, submit it here today, and avoid the February rush!
Nordisk Panorama 5 Cities Film Festival
Welcome to Bergen, Norway 24.-29. September!
Nordisk Panorama travels between the Nordisk Panorama Host Cities of the five Nordic countries: Bergen, Århus, Oulu, Malmø and Reykjavik, adding the colours of local and regional filmmaking to the vast landscape of Nordic short films and documentaries. This year the city of Bergen will be hosting Nordisk Panorama for the fourth time. Once again, we look forward to welcoming filmmakers and film lovers, festival programmers and international buyers, students and professionals to the beautiful west coast of Norway.
The City of Bergen
Bergen is a city of old traditions, founded in the 11th century. Situated by the North Sea, facing the world, we like to think of ourselves as having an open mind towards influence from the outside, yet being deeply grounded in the local. Bergen has a goal of becoming the cultural capital of Scandinavia. It is widely known for its vibrant musical scene and has a vital and growing film industry. The city is also famous for its beauty, placed between seven mountains, and surrounded by islands and fjords.
The festival
Still, the essence of the festival will always be the films. The documentaries, mirroring our present, explaining our past and opening our minds and our hearts to the world around us. The short films, keeping the art of filmmaking alive and kicking, steadily surprising us with new forms and shapes, playfulness and provocation. As the main attraction, Nordisk Panorama highlights 70-80 of the very best short films & documentaries from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden in the three Competition Programmes. In addition, side-programmes and seminars put the spotlight on strong films and pertinent issues from a European perspective.
Nordisk Panorama 2008 counted almost 800 professionals from 25 different countries, attending Nordisk Panorama – 5 Cities Film Festival, Nordisk Panorama Market and/or Nordisk Forum for Co-financing of Documentaries. So be sure not to miss the next opportunity to experience the most important event for Nordic short films and documentaries, in Bergen 2010!
