In addition to his own efforts as a director and producer, Grude has also worked in various technical capacities on over a hundred other productions. The film captures the ongoing war in Mogadishu, Somalia, not from the white Western filmmaker s perspective, but from the prespective of two Burundian soldiers who are deployed there in order to fight the Islamist extremists Al-Shebaab. The soldiers undergo a basic technical film course at Piraya Film AS before going to war. Kristian Birkeland, the man who solved the mystery of the northern lights, had a versatile talent and many incredible ideas. He was an uncompromising and brilliant scientist with great passion for his work. In spite of Birkeland s pioneering auroral research, he was ignored and opposed for a long time, both in Norway and abroad. Not until the 1960s, when NASA began manned spacecrafts, were Birkeland s theories confirmed and accepted. The Mystery of the Northern Lights is the story of Kristian Birkeland s short, but eventful life in which both success and tragedy dominated. It is also the story of the power struggle that took place in the Norwegian science community in the late 1800s. TROND BREDE ANDERSEN is educated at the London International Film School.

The priest Børre Knudsen is the most famous anti-abortion activist in Norway. His 30-year long crusade for the unborn child resulted in him having to leave his position as a priest in the The State Church and flee his house in Northern Norway together with his family. This is a film about fighting for what you believe in without thinking about the consequence; about what it costs to go against the flow, and the profound effect it has on yourself and those around you. The portrait of the Knudsen family is a dramatic and existential story of a family fighting to keep their Christian belief in the modern world. A documentary series by Thomas Robsahm about punk s breakthrough in Norway and its influence on Norwegian culture and society. For young people in the late 70s, freedom of expression was used to scream out their message accompanied by raw, unfinished music that scared most people. Over 30 years later, punk is more relevant than ever, but also more accepted. Punk differed from earlier youth rebellions by being more anarchistic, less politically correct and entirely unpredictable. A punk band could play at a Rock against Racism-event with swastikas on their shirts. Provocation was the key. But all rebellion has a reason. The punks were the hippie s children. They didn t buy their parents naïve faith in a harmonious world. Peace & Love was the dream, Hate & War was reality. THOMAS ROBSAHM is a prize-winning producer, director, musician and former actor. He debuted with Rebels with a Cause (1992). Since then, he has directed both feature films as The Greatest Thing (2001) and documentaries as Modern Slavery (2009).

She has worked with film since 1980, first as an editing assistant. She then went on to direct her own films - often humorous and reflective, biographical and self-exposing.

In the 1990s when the light, digital film cameras were launched, she started filming herself. 34 He didn t want to sign. The composition has to be good whichever way you look at it. Of course, the admiring young daughter agrees. But this is the past. The young girl has become an older woman, incapable of just getting on with her own life. She has an inheritance to take care of; all her father s abstract pictures. Is it at all possible to sell pictures without a signature? by a painter who refused to exhibit his work his whole life through? What on earth made him produce without an audience? without communication? The daughter looks for answers in the past. Life was not a dance on roses. There had been a sense of shame too. The sisters, Nastia and Polina, are students of a ballet academy in St. Petersburg in Russia. Nastia, 13, has a special gift to dance. She is one of the best students of the academy and therefore she will perform the soloist role at the end of the year s performance. But not everything is smooth in the path of becoming a professional dancer. Her back and legs have not developed strong muscles and are not powerful enough; that could represent a threat in the future. The harsh classic teacher punishes her frequently for this reason. But Nastia, is the toughest judge of herself. She obviously is born to dance! Her little sister, Polina, 7, admires and follows Nastia. She is still trying to figure out the role of the ballet in her life. What does it mean to dance with an open soul? She wonders and Nastia has the answer. Varicella portraits the tender and trustful relationship of two sisters who share one dream. VICTOR KOSSAKOVSKY was born in 1961 in Russia.

The Wall is based on an event from director David Kinsella s childhood growing up in Northern Ireland, where the character David is told a story about a women fleeing from North Korea. The director s production period in North Korea was so incredibly directed by the government that he has chosen to use the memory as a starting point for their own interpretations using advanced animation techniques. By drawing parallels between his own childhood in Northern Ireland, and one refugee s story from North Korea, the film discusses how the stories and myths build both identity and the idea of the other. The relatively simple linear story is told in a complex and original imagery, which opens and challenges different interpretations and associations. Veasoejorksh (meaning life-changing) is a creative documentary directed particularly at young people. The film tells about the 14-year-old Ellen Sara, who comes from a South Sami reindeer herding family in Aarborte in Norway. The film follows Ellen Sara through 8 seasons, highlighting both the traditions she is part of and the everyday dilemmas that all young girls face..

Østergaard recreates the events leading up to the fall of the Iron Curtain and leads the audiences deep into the secret meeting rooms. The documentary unfolds by using a mix of interviews, archive material and reconstructed scenes and dialogues that are lip-synched to the actual archive images of the political protagonists. The story of Asian and African domestic maids that serve the middle classes of Beirut, and how they are treated by their employers, the agencies that import them, and by Lebanese society in general. This 3D film project about the soul of buildings allows six iconic and very different buildings to speak for themselves, examining human life from the unblinking perspective of a man-made structure. Six acclaimed filmmakers bring their own visual style and artistic approach to the project. Buildings, they show us, are material manifestations of human thought and action. Cathedrals of Culture explores how each of these landmarks a concert hall, a library, a research institute, a prison, a cultural center and an opera house reflects our culture and guards our collective memory. 42 43

They met in a soup kitchen, where they have their only hot meal per day. Inspired by the suggestion of a young choreographer, they started to dance. A poetic portray of a former Soviet ghost town at Spitsbergen. The film captures the otherworldly soul of these yesterdays ruins surrounded by eternal ice, at the top of the world, far away in the Arctic. On June 8, 2014 the most human of all comic heroes will turn 80. The Donald Duck Principle seizes this 80th anniversary as an opportunity to examine the tremendous success of the small, short-tempered and often luckless duck, and to apply Donald s loser topos to today s world. In this way, the documentary will appeal to fans and non-experts alike. Giti is the only place in Rwanda where the 1994 genocide never took place. Its 450 000 inhabitants chose to shield their fellow villagers and continue to co-exist peacefully, despite the slaughtering going on in all the neighboring villages. The main protagonists are three men who took great risks to prevent the violence from spreading to Giti; they stood up against the government s decision to supply the village with weapons to exterminate the Tutsis. Her highest wish is not to be able to see, but to be seen by us as who she is, and not just as a blind person. We follow Rena from when she is 17 years old and a student in the last grade of upper secondary school, until she moves out of her childhood home. We follow her in her struggle to find herself. A journey we must all travel, whoever we are, when we break out of childhood. Who am I in your eyes? And in my own? An intimate, powerful film about a brave girl who refuses to be a victim, and who dares to break new ground. Since some time back I have a dream of doing a film about Sweden. About things in the life style that surrounds me and that I am part of that I am uneasy with. As Videocracy is a film about Italy, Lost in Perfection will be a film about Sweden. The film will deal with one of the most crucial questions of our time: How much should I be on my own and how much should I care about others? 44 45
