En lang rekke etablerte og debuterende norske filmskapere skal presentere nye prosjekter i ulike faser under New Nordic Films i Haugesund. Her kan du lese om alle prosjektene som er underveis det neste året.
Nye norske filmer luftes i Haugesund.
New Nordic Fims er en etablert møteplass for den nordiske filmbransjen under Den norske filmfestivalen i Haugesund. Den er også en innfallsport for internasjonale oppkjøpere og festivalprogrammerere. Her vises et markedsprogram med nye nordiske langfilmer, deriblant snart kinoaktuelle norske filmer.
Men også mange prosjekter med en lengre produksjonshorisont vises her. Under Works in Progress-seksjonen presenteres nordiske filmer som fortsatt er i etterarbeid, mens nye filmer som ønsker samfinansiering luftes på Nordic Co-Production Market. Blant de norske deltakerne finner vi etablerte profiler som Arild Østin Ommundsen, Charlotte Blom, Fredrik Hana og Ilze Burkovska Jacobsen, men også debuterende spillefilmregissører som Ida Sagmo Tvedte, Farzad Samsami og Aslak Dambolt.
De fleste filmene her har en engelsk tittel fordi bransjepublikumet er internasjonalt. Det 19. nordiske samproduksjons- og finansmarkedet har et utvalg av 22 prosjekter i ulike utviklingsstadier. Works in Progress presenterer 15 kommende filmer klare for den internasjonale scenen. Samtidig vil kommende nordiske filmer bli vist på markedsvisninger, eksklusivt for akkrediterte filmbransjefolk.
Her er de norske deltakerne i WiP-programmet:
