Cinema

Kunstnernes Hus Kino, part of the artist-owned foundation Kunstnernes Hus, opened in 2016. The program is curated with a cross-disciplinary and genre-critical approach, always placing the artist at the centre, and consists of a wide spectrum of contemporary independent and artist films, talks, lectures and curatorial collaborations. We emphasise artistic boldness and genre-bending formats as well community-building across disciplines and generations. In 2018, the Film Club LEO for youths aged 13-18 was founded, sharing the same ambitions, while being programmed by its own members.

The streaming service Kunstnernes Hus Home Cinema was launched during the pandemic, and will become a permanent extension to the on-site program, focusing on increasing the availability of contemporary Norwegian artist films. We take an active part in finding solutions to the need for better systems of distribution, in the cinema as well the digital arena.

“So many artists now do things that look like film. They look best in a place like this, as opposed to being projected in a gallery. I’m very happy to see this place.”

- Laurie Anderson

The regular programme is curated by Silja Espolin Johnson in cooperation with a programme council consisting of Ulrik Eriksen (film critic at Morgenbladet and initiator of the cinema at Kunstnernes Hus), Maria Moseng (film critic, research fellow in film studies at the University of Oslo, former editor at WUXIA), Sara Eliassen (filmmaker and visual artist) and Karsten Meinich (film editor and editor at Montages).

If you have an enquiry about the cinema at Kunstnernes Hus, please contact: silja@kunstnerneshus.no.

The auditorium was designed by Atelier Oslo and built with support from Sparebankstiftelsen DNB, Arts Council Norway, Oslo Municipality and the Norwegian government’s Gift Enhancement Scheme for Cultural Centres.
