The International Sámi Film Institute and Sápmifilm
07.04.21 – 07.05.21
The International Sámi Film Institute and Sápmifilm (ISFI) enables films in the Sámi language to be made and distributed. Kunstnernes Hus Cinema invited the institute to reflect on the distribution system in connection with the project Mapping Distributions: New Norwegian Initiatives. In the last few years, numerous conversations across the fields of film and visual art have taken place in Norway on the need for better alternative methods for production and distribution of film. Do we need alternative structures for alternative films? Can alliances across artistic disciplines help create better structures fort artist- and independent film?
Together with On & For Production and Distribution, Kunstnernes Hus Kino has invited a few professionals across the disciplines, to contribute to a series of video reflections and a panel discussion.
Four video reflections will be launched during March and April and serve as the background for a panel discussion on Zoom on April 20th. Read more about the panel discussion here.
