Tromsø International Film Festival screens international feature films from all over the world. These films are carefully selected based on our knowledge of world cinema and the annual output of quality films.
In general, we find the films we want to present ourselves, and do not accept individual film submissions from outside the Nordic countries.
Filmmakers from the Nordic countries who want to present their feature films at Tromsø International Film Festival should contact Festival Director Lisa Hoen or Deputy Program Director Henning Rosenlund.
The submission deadline for the 2026 edition is November 1st 2025.
In addition to the Nordic and international selections, the festival also has a regional program for films from Arctic /sub-arctic regions - Films from the North. This is the only section where we accept shorts and documenteries, as well as features.
