The festival wishes to direct a big thanks to all the filmmakers who have submitted their films!

The pre-selection juries are now hard at work watching and selecting films for this year’s competition program.

This year’s official selection will be made known to the public on Tuesday April 14th.

All film submitters will simultaneously be notified of the result. 

This year’s film submissions by the numbers:

• NORWEGIAN SHORTS & SHORT DOCUMENTARIES: 347 submissions
• INTERNATIONAL SHORTS & SHORT DOCUMENTARIES: 2638 submissions
• NORWEGIAN MUSIC VIDEOS: 75 submissions

Collectively that’s 3060 submitted films, and we can’t wait to share the official selection this coming April. 

THE 49th NORWEGIAN SHORT FILM FESTIVAL will take place in Grimstad on June 10th – 14th, and we hope to see you there!
