Youth Culture, Coming-of-Age Explored by Nordic Talents of Tomorrow at Haugesund

The Norwegian International Film Festival kicked off on Saturday its 49th edition in the coastal town of Haugesund, an occasion for industry filmgoers and Nordic film aficionados to discover new projects from the region’s top talent.

Three of the films come from Westerdals, Kristiania University College in Oslo, Norway, another trio from Aalto ELO Film School in Helsinki, Finland, and two each from HDK-Valand at the University of Göteborg, Sweden and The National Film School of Denmark in Copenhagen. This means that – with the exception of Iceland – all countries from the Nordic region are represented.

Considering that these films were made by students, it seems no coincidence that many center on youth, teen years and childhood. There are two stand-out animated shorts: “Favorite Daughter” and “I Don’t Have Time For This,” selected from many submitted. They were both made by graduate students from The National Film School of Denmark, which Høkaas says produces some amazing experimental animated films experiment that take the genre to new heights.
