Arctic Film Festival, or independent films in the North

Arctic Film Festival is the first and the only northernmost independent international film festival on the planet. Established in 2019 to raise awareness about climate change, it has since then been held in Svalbard’s Longyearbyen – the largest town of the archipelago. On May 13, 2023, the Festival returns there once again, with a carefully curated selection of independent short and feature fiction films and documentaries from all over the world. Apostolia Katsiantridou, the Head of Program for the AFF for the last 3 editions, talked with PRESSET. about the Festival’s history, mission, and nuanced relationship with nature.

After a three-year COVID-induced break, the Oslo Film Festival finally returned to Norway’s capital with an exceptional selection of independent films from all over the world. Held for two weekday evenings in a row in what once was a bank vault (!), the event gathered quite a diverse and international crowd, which chimed nicely with one of its principal themes – an everlasting fascination with multiculturalism and the controversiality of the daily.
