between German and allied land forces takes place.
With the weakest army in Europe, Norway starts to

In one of the most ill planned operations of WWII, Allied soldiers fight in a harsh and cold country without

SYNOPSIS Sooner or later – we all must die. That is
the way nature is, and that is the way life is; nothing
lasts forever, at least not on Earth.
In these five programmes we approach the concept
of death from different angles. Driven by curiosity we
examine death both historically and culturally. Death
and dying in art, the market of death, religious beliefs, the actual physical death and the central role
death plays in our community and surroundings are
all important elements in this documentary series.
We have travelled the world and met persons that
helped us in the process of understanding more.

SYNOPSIS Drone brings us inside the covert CIA
drone war. The film follows people who live under
drones in Pakistan and drone pilots who struggle
with the new warfare. DRONE covers diverse ground
from the recruitment of young pilots at gaming conventions, the re-definition of “going to war”, to the
moral of engineers behind the technology, the world
leaders giving the secret “greenlight” to a targeted
killing program outside declared war zones, and the
people who fight for transparency, accountability
and justice. Facing fast technological advancements
and lagging international legislation the film shows
how drones change wars and possibly our future.

SYNOPSIS To feel like a girl, being trapped in the
body of a boy, being terrified and anxious to reach
male puberty and develop a deep voice, visible
Adam’s apple and beard growth can hardly be described. Being a boy trapped in the body of a girl is
not any easier. Imagine the anxiety, fear, and not least
the contempt for yourself if you are a man entering
female puberty, developing breasts and having menstruation.
To be accepted as the one you actually are, might feel
like an unattainable dream. For our participants they
dream of another and better life often ignites when
they dare to challenge themselves, their friends, their
family and their surroundings.
In this series you will meet 14 brave people in various
stages of the process “of confirming their sex”, being
from 8 to 70 years old.
Imagine being born a girl developing a visible Adam’s apple,
or a boy getting menstruation.

is fast becoming the world’s biggest swindle. Is this
a lucrative new field among criminals formerly engaged in trafficking and drugs? Worldwide, the police have their hands full with victims.
In eastern Europe, not a few girls finance their studies by posting false love letters on the net. Men who
reply find that to open a letter from a prospective
partner, they have to pay, with the result that conning
credulous western men in search of love has evolved
into a minor industry.
But criminal networks based in West Africa exploit
many vulnerable women, too. One woman was ruined and forced to sell her house, while another ended up in prison - both because a man convinced them
that he loved them.

the mystery of the northern lights, had a versatile
talent and many incredible ideas. He was an uncompromising and brilliant scientist with great passion
for his work. In spite of Birkeland’s pioneering auroral research, he was ignored and opposed for a long
time, both in Norway and abroad. Not until the 1960s,
when NASA began launching manned spacecrafts,
were Birkelands theories confirmed and accepted.
The Mystery of the Northern Lights is the story of
Kristian Birkeland’s short but eventful life in which
both success and tragedy dominated. It is also the
story about the power struggle that took place in the
Norwegian science community in the late 1800s.
A passionate brilliant Norwegian scientitist

SYNOPSIS The focus on performance and competition is becoming stronger in schools and kindergartens. Focus on getting younger and younger children
to acquire external knowledge. I am afraid that we, as
parents, as a society, the children themselves - miss
their own and other’s different personalities because
we do not acknowledge that each and every child has
different potentials. Childhood is a silent protest. It
shows a children’s garden where children can be at
peace. An 90-min observational documentary that follows
the children in Aurora Kindergarten through a year.
These are children from 1-6 years of age. It will be a
quiet and close, life-affirming film, at the same time it
will be deeply provocative.

“I can’t be more

50 000 people have travelled to Snåsa in Northern
