The Norwegian International Film Festival in Haugesund has always had a strong Nordic profile and manifests itself as one of the most important meeting places for the Nordic professional film industry, through our official program and our Nordic film market – New Nordic Films.


Next Nordic Generation is a competition program during the Norwegian International Film Festival in Haugesund, presenting a carefully selected selection of newly made student films from the Nordic film students. The competition program is reserved for film schools that are members of Nordicil (Nordic Network for Film Schools).

The Nordic film schools will be exclusively invited to submit their graduation films to the competition. A pre-selection jury will put together a program of ten films in total, which will be screened in our official program in Haugesund during the New Nordic Films period.

Criteria:

- Graduation film from the Nordic film schools

- Feature film, documentary or animated film

- Maximum length: 45 min

- English subtitles

- DCP must be available for the festival screening

The submissions opens up in May.
