The sidebar has traditionally been reserved for shorts and
documentaries. It has been highly popular, with more than 8000 tickets
sold annually. At the 2019 edition we also accepted feature length films
into the program for the first time, as this format has become more and
more important in regional production.
We have now opened for submissions. Films are
qualified if the subject, the production or the director is connected to
the northern regions of Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, Canada, or
Iceland. See further spesifications in the guidelines below.
Film submission Entry Guidelines
- The submission deadline is October 18, 2024.
- Filmmakers should expect feedback on their submissions by late November.
Tromsøpalmen (The Tromsø Palm) is awarded to the best short film and best feature film in competition, along with a prize of 5000 Euro to the
film’s director.
Vision
Films from the North should draw attention to the increasing media activity in the High North and stimulate its growth. Our goal is to be the most important venue for films from the Northern periphery.
