The deadline for registrating your films to the Nordisk Panorama´s competition ends the 15th of May. Nordisk Panorama is the largest festival for independent Nordic short and documentary films and this year it is arranged in Oulu on 21st-26th of September.

The films selected for the competition programme must meet the following criteria:

Documentaries are accepted in any length, but for the short films the running time is not more than 60 minutes. The submittee must be an independent production that is either produced in Scandinavia or has a Scandinavian director and is completed within the current or preceding year and has not been accepted for last year’s Nordisk Panorama. The films must be subtitled in English or English versioned.

The Nordic Short Film Award and The Nordic Documentary Award are both 6500 euros. The short film award is sponsored by YLE (Finnish Broadcsting Company) Yhteistuotannot and the documentary award by FST (Finlands Svenska Television). The SF Nordic Talent Award will go to the director of jury’s choice, based on a short fiction film or animation shown in competition at Nordisk Panorama. The award is worth 10 000 euros, and it goes towards development and possible production of a new project with SF Film.
