NORDIC FILM FESTIVAL 30 NOVEMBER – 5 DECEMBER 2012
The Nordic Film Festival brings together a broad mix of indie films from across Scandinavia celebrating the best in Nordic film past and present and garnering support from the recent wave of UK interest in Nordic fiction. Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Iceland and Norway all have a vibrant independent film-making tradition and this exciting new festival hopes to share that now here in the UK. The festival kicks off on the 30 November with a chance to see this year’s hit at Venice starring Pierce Brosnan LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED before it opens in cinemas next year.
