Catch up with the key news and projects from the Goteborg Film Festival and Nordic Film Market.A warm ‘Welcome’ ahead of Efm
One of the hottest premieres in Goteborg was Welcome To Norway!, the immigration-themed dramedy that was the first film to sell out and later won the Audience Award for best Nordic film. Its industry and press screenings were also packed, setting the film up well as it heads to Berlin’s Efm, where Beta Cinema handles sales.
Director Rune Langlo Denstad said he had the project in mind for more than ten years after he visited a centre for asylum seekers while working on documentary projects. A decade later, the film couldn’t be more topical.
The story follows Primus (Anders Baasmo Christiansen), a desperate and somewhat racist hotel owner in a remote Norwegian village who wants to turn his hotel into a home for asylum seekers to cash in on government funding. Of course...

Norwegian director Joachim Trier’s first English-language movie Louder than Bombs, is back on track.
The $10.4m (Nok 62 million) production, starring French actress Isabelle Huppert and Irish actor Gabriel Byrne, will begin shooting in New York this September, according to Norwegian producer Sigve Endresen, of Oslo-based Motlys. UTA represents Us rights.
Last year Endresen had to postpone the project indefinitely, because he had failed to provide the full financing of the Norwegian-Danish-French-German-us co-production, which was due to shoot from September 25. “However, we are confident it will be realised in the near future,” he said at the time.
In February, French-German TV-network Arte’s cinema division joined as co-producer, and last week (April 25) the Norwegian Film Institute confirmed that its original $2.2m (Nok 13.3 million) funding support, which had lapsed by the postponement, was renewed for the upcoming production.

Good news on the Scandi film front as Joachim Trier's Louder than Bombs (an English language film to be shot in the U.S) appears to have gained some traction as Cineuropa confirms that Sigve Endresen's prod co. Motlys As will be working alongside Albert Berger and Ron Yerxa's Bona Fide Productions with a fall start date being eyed. Bona Fide is the production company behind the soon to be released He Loves Me (Jonathan Dayton, Valerie Faris) and is in pre-prod with Nebraska (Alexander Payne) and the Blacklist favorite, The Only Living Boy in New York (Seth Gordon). Briefly discussed in our interview with the filmmaker back in May, the project which some industry folk describe as a cross between Ordinary People and Don't Look Now (Roeg's influential classic happens to second as the name of Trier's production company) and we should be hearing some casting...

After his acclaimed Reprise got a small run here, Joachim Trier hits American shores for the first time in five years this coming spring, when Sony Pictures Classics will distribute his next acclaimed drama Oslo, August 31st. With that gap between his previous and current feature in mind, take this report from Cineuropa (via Twitch) as good news — they say that he’s almost finished writing his next film, Louder Than Bombs, with frequent collaborator Eskil Vogt. Norwegian producer Sigve Endresen will move forward with Bona Fide Productions.
More interesting — for myself — is the mention that Bombs will be his first English-language feature. The jump from native tongue to English isn’t a big deal for a lot of foreign filmmakers — it’s expected of many nowadays, even — but this will only be his third feature. Kind of soon, no? And, what’s more, this was supposed to be the follow-up to his first film,...
