In the Crossfire
The consequences of the war in Ukraine have so far been catastrophic and millions of people have been forced to flee. To understand the way forward, or at least understand why the atrocities escalated this year, we have to go back and examine the roots of the conflict.

Queer Cultural Year
Only 50 years ago today it was illegal to be gay in Norway. On April 21st 1972 the paragraph § 213 of the Norwegian Penal Code was abolished. his was a provision that prohibited sexual intercourse between men. On the occasion of Queer Culture Year 2022 and the abolishment of § 213, we in Oslo Pix Film Festival wish to highlight the queer stories in the festival program. Even though 50 years have passed since the decriminalization, we still have a long way to go in both Norway and the rest of the world, something we had a painful reminder of on the night before July 25th this summer.

Focus: Abortion
The fight for the right to decide over one's own body has not been won. This was clearly demonstrated when the American Supreme Court recently decided to overturn the "Roe v. Wade" decision from 1973, and thus put an end to almost 50 years of constitutionally protected right to abortion in the USA. It is estimated that at least 40 million women and girls of reproductive age now are in danger of losing access to safe and legal abortions.
