Focus on Norway

Running time: N/A

2003 was one of the most dynamic and successful years in the history of Norwegian cinema, reaching the highest audience numbers in thirty years and creating not simply a buzz in the industry (along with major distribution deals), but also passionate audiences at festivals worldwide - garnering many awards and accolades for Norwegian films. In cooperation with the Norwegian Film Institute, Cinequest presents a glorious look at as-of-yet-undiscovered treasures, audience favorites and distinctive tales of romance, dreams, friendship, patriotism and revenge. Our Focus on Norway showcases five feature narratives, one feature documentary and two short films. They are films of great power, films from great storytellers and films that inspire.
