5 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, return with a much awaited second feature in the existential drama Oslo, August 31 st. 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 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.

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. 48 feature films
