In documentaries like Light Fly, Fly high, Love City, Jalalabad, Drone and Taliban Oil, the filmmakers go to Asia to examine questionable conditions but also seeds of hope. While focussing on international minorities and problems, minorities in Norway are also facing difficulties.

This catalogue presents more than 50 Norwegian and co-produced documentaries. A common factor is that they concern us all and also reflect our day and age. Have a good read! OUR INTERNATIONAL FOCUS also manifests itself through an increasing number of co-productions.
