Diversity in the Norwegian Film Industry – Who Gets a Seat at the Table, and How Can We Include More People?

The Norwegian film industry does not reflect the full population. Many groups are underrepresented, both in front of and behind the camera, and face various barriers that make it difficult to enter the industry.

What do we miss out on when not all talents get the chance to contribute? And what happens when not everyone can see themselves represented on screen?

In connection with the Norwegian Film Festival in Stavanger, Filmkraft Rogaland, Balansekunst, and the Department of Media and Social Sciences at the University of Stavanger invite you to an open course on diversity in the film industry. The course explores how we can broaden recruitment to the field and lower the barriers to participation.

Balansekunst will lead the course, which will include:

  • reviewing figures and statistics from the Norwegian film industry
  • discussing norms, bias, power, and opportunities – and how these influence the choices we make
  • providing practical tools and concrete examples that can inspire broader recruitment in your own work

About the event

The course will take place in room EOJ-009, the cinema in the basement of Elise Ottesen-Jensen’s House at the University of Stavanger. The venue has an elevator, step-free access, and accessible toilets.

The course is open to everyone. To help us keep track of participant numbers, we appreciate it if you register here.
