From this application round, the Norwegian Film Institute is introducing a sustainability standard with associated reporting requirements for film festivals. This has led to changes in the regulation. Initially, the requirement applies to festivals that receive grants in the form of operational grants.
The introduction of a sustainability standard for film festivals is a follow-up to chapter 5 on sustainability in More film together – the government's strategy for cinema and film distribution (2024).
At the meeting, we will provide information on the changes and adjustments that have been made to the regulation, guidelines and application form. Before the application form is published on our website on 13 October, new guidelines and information about the sustainability standard will be published on nfi.no.
The meeting will take place on Teams. It will be possible for participants to ask questions along the way. The meeting is open to all interested parties
