Haugesund Fest Boasts Exceptional Norwegian Lineup and Talents, 76 International Pics, Four World Premieres


The 52th Norwegian Film Festival in Haugesund will screen 76 features and 21 shorts including four world premieres.

For Haugesund’s chief, the other Norwegian world premiere and festival closing pic “Enough” by newcomer Odd Einar Ingebretsen, shares with “Quisling” and the Karlovy Vary hit “Loveable,” the theme about strained human relations, although the three differ in style and production value. Making its world premiere on Aug. 20 as the opening pic of Haugesund’s industry sidebar New Nordic Films, “Way Home” by the acclaimed Danish helmer Charlotte Sieling (“Margrete-Queen of the North”) should “leave the audience at the edge of their seats,” according to NNF honcho Liv Halvorsen. Across all sections, star names will be on hand to promote their films, from helmers Erik Poppe, Lilja Ingolfsdottir (“Loveable”), Miia Tervo (“The Missile”) to actors Ine Marie Wilmann (“Enough”, “Troll”) and this year’s Walk of Fame recipients Renate Reinsve (“The Worst Person in the World”, “Armand”) and Nils Ole Oftebro (“The Trip”, “Pørni”).
