As previously announced, Amandus BLIKKFANG is the new festival for film students and young filmmakers between 20-26 years in the Nordic countries, and the first edition will be held in Lillehammer from September 24-26.

With over 200 submitted films, it’s been quite a job to watch all the films and select the final list of nominated films. There has been a lot of hard choices, and many great films that unfortunately didn’t make the cut.

The selection committee has been led by program director in the festival Eivind Nordengen, filmmaker Frøydis Fossli Moe, festival director at Movies on War Øystein Egge, journalist and editor Ida Madsen Hestman, and representatives from Lillehammer Film Society Even Steine, Maren Mandt, Morten Berg Larsen, Peder Erdal and Peter Djordjevic.
