Kortreist

Culinary cinema: The Menu

Pix on Art

Pix on Art is the section for exploring films about film or other art forms, and this year's section consists of a double bill of SUSPIRIA with a discussion on witchcraft in dance, a film screening and concert with José González, and a deep dive into Werner Herzog's career.

Pix Politics

Cinema is an excellent medium for conveying insights and knowledge about complex societal issues. With film as its foundation, Pix Politics aims to be a window into the world around us, providing increased awareness and reflection about our society, while inspiring engagement and action. The moderator for the section is journalist and political commentator, Stig Arild Pettersen.

Festival Favorites

Brilliant films from major international festivals that will captivate you. Here you will find a genre mix with highlights from film festivals such as Cannes, Toronto, Berlinale, South by Southwest, Sundance, Tribeca, and Locarno.

Pix Crawl

We bring a small piece of the Short Film Festival in Grimstad to Oslo for the late summer's best pub crawl. The concept: four great short films at four great venues in the Grünerløkka neighborhood within a convenient walking distance.

Focus: Indigenous People

In recent years, indigenous rights and their absence have come more and more into the spotlight. Not because indigenous activists haven't been there, but because the public is only now truly recognizing the struggle and becoming aware of the many challenges on the agenda. This year's focus section is dedicated to indigenous peoples in North America and the Nordic region, and it includes a blend of fiction and documentary works.

Pix Portrait: Isabella Eklöf

Meet filmmaker Isabella Eklöf for a masterclass at this year's Oslo Pix Film Festival and don't miss her feature film debut Holiday and Ali Abbasi's Border, for which she has written the screenplay.

The Nordic Council Film Prize

During this year's Oslo Pix Film Festival, we are proud to present the five nominated films for the Nordic Council’s Film Prize from Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland. More information about the candidates will be provided after the nominated films are announced at the Norwegian Film Festival in Haugesund on August 22nd.

Family Films

Bring the whole family to the festival - both outdoors and indoors. On weekdays, you can bring your dinner and settle in at Schous Plass for outdoor cinema, and on Sundays, we recommend bringing the children for a family day at Ringen.

Jane Birkin Homage

The actor and singer Jane Birkin passed away this summer, and we will be screening two documentaries about her life at the festival. One is made by her daughter, Charlotte Gainsbourg, and the other by the legend Agnès Varda.

Outdoor Cinema at Schous Plass

Nothing is as atmospheric as spending a late summer day at an outdoor cinema with good friends and family. Drop by the daycare or after-school program and surprise the children with an afternoon at a free outdoor cinema. Or stop by one of the evening screenings during the week to watch some of the best films from recent years, completely free of charge.
