The exhibition consists of a large film programme that takes place in the two skylight halls on the upper floor, in the Resting Room between the halls and in the cinema on the ground floor. The films vary in length from two minutes to over an hour and last a total of nine hours and nine minutes. A large proportion of the films last between five minutes and a quarter of an hour. Information about each individual film can be found in the exhibition's catalogue at the reception.

The filmmakers in the exhibition come from several parts of the world. Except for two films, all films that are not in English are subtitled in English. The films are not subtitled in Norwegian.

On the second floor, each film is shown on separate monitors scattered around the exhibition rooms, either on a TV at eye level or as a projection on the wall and approx. two-metre-high structures where you can also see extra content in the form of posters. In addition to the films, the exhibition includes two series of photographs, sketchbooks, a wall with mirrors and the remains of a dance floor. In the Resting Room, space has been set up to sit and read, with a table with books related to the exhibition. Chairs and benches are available throughout the floor. Please contact our hosts at the reception if you need portable chairs.

The lighting is dimmed and the skylights are covered. Note: It can get very cold in the halls in winter, so we recommend warm clothes.

One of the films' soundtracks is played on speaker. On the rest of the films, the sound is available via headphones and remote control, which you will be given at the reception. The remote control automatically switches to the correct audio track when it is held close to the movie. The remote control is turned on and the sound can be paused and the volume adjusted on the large, round button. The remote control does not control the movie, only the sound on the headphones. Some films do not have soundtracks – this is marked on the label of the works in question.

If you would like to wear your own headphones they can be used by connecting to the remote control with an AUX cable. Each remote control has two AUX ports that you can connect to if you have extra headphones.

As part of the program, the cinema on the ground floor will continuously play a loop during opening hours. The loop consists of a series of films by Nordic filmmakers that last two hours. Here the sound is played on speaker. You go in and out freely as you see fit.

Our hosts are happy to help with any questions and problems.
