From "SKI" by Nicolai Schirmer
Established in 1981, Arctic Film Norway (formerly North Norwegian Film Centre) is the nation's oldest regional film centre. Located in Tromsø, AFN is a funding body and facilitator for filmmaking in Northern Norway. We give grants earmarked for development and production of audiovisual works, including fiction, documentaries and games. We are involved in 3-5 international co-productions per year as financiers, and facilitates national and international productions through our film commission services. We run workshops for professionals, and have the last years been hosting one of the sessions for the documentary development program ESoDoc.
During the Tromso International Film Festival in January, we arrange the NORTH Pitch-Below Zero in cooperation with Norwegian and European partners. We select 12 documentary projects on topics related to the Arctic or Antarctic for
- a producer meet producer set-up
- a two-day workshop
- a pitch with international decision makers.
More information on Below Zero here!
Simple steps for international co-production in Northern Norway
If you want to co-produce and apply for financing from Arctic Film Norway AS you need a producer/co-producer in the region.
We give priority to projects where
- The producer is located in the region (Nordland, Troms and Finnmark)
- The project has artistic input from the region (script writer, director, producer)
- The project involves other film workers from the region
The main target group for our activities is the professional part of the film industry in the three northernmost counties, Nordland, Troms and Finnmark. We also have a responsibility for talent development, and support workshops for young talents between 12 and 35 years.
E-mail to post@arktiskfilmnorge.no will reach us all, and you will find more detailed contact information here.
