Books at Haugesund, established by The Norwegian International Film Festival in Haugesund in 2017, is a dynamic platform fostering connections between publishers, literary agents, and the Nordic film industry. The primary goal is facilitating meaningful engagements between literary professionals and film producers.
This event is a unique opportunity for agents possessing film rights to books, inviting them to Haugesund to collaborate with Nordic producers in search of compelling narratives. Approximately ten carefully selected novels are presented to film producers, offering a curated selection of captivating literary material ripe for adaptation to the cinematic realm.
Books at Haugesund will not be held in 2025.
The following Nordic agents attended Books at Haugesund in 2024:
