This year the festival will have its festival centre at Cinema Panora, where visitors can experience movie gems from the Nordic Panorama 30-year film archive, enjoy food at JARS – popup eatery & bar, and mingle with filmmakers from all over the Nordic region. During the six days of the festival, there are also some great opportunities to attend seminars, master classes, and experience new VR projects.

We want everyone to feel welcome at the festival,” says Viktor Jepson, festival producer at Nordisk Panorama.
