The National Museum: SIDESPRANG

This event in Tromsø is part of the National Museum's event series SIDESPRANG. Until the new museum building and the exhibition "Jeg kaller det kunst / I call it art" are ready, the National Museum will take artists from the exhibition to cities and villages in Norway and show everything from performances and concerts to conversations and video.

Put on your wool clothes, mittens and a winter jacket and get ready for a special screening on Stortorget in Tromsø, in collaboration with the National Museum! Three films by three unique artists address themes such as belonging, life and death, the fight for women's rights, what divides us and what brings us together.

With different backgrounds, the artists and filmmakers tell stories that may feel distant to some, while addressing universal themes - such as Uma's quest for belonging in The Only Story, Shwan's love for his mother in The Tattooed Sun and the strong compassion that Mahlet's son feels in Name my dream.

In addition to screenings at the Winter Cinema, the films will be available on YouTube for 24 hours from 00:01am Thursday Jauary 21. You will also get to hear onversations with the artists behind the works screened.
