Den fyrste juniveka var prega av mørke, regnfylte kveldar, og ein tordenstorm som omringa Oslo, noko som gav optimale forhald for ein filmfestival som viser sci-fi, fantasy og ikkje minst skrekk. Eg var så heldig å få pressepass og fekk bruke fem dagar på Cinemateket for å oppleve det rike programmet til filmfestivalen Ravenheart
Les merCannes filmfestival er en feiring av filmindustrien og en konkurranse for å hjelpe nye filmer å få anerkjennelse.

Les merAwards season has come and gone, with the 98th Academy Awards marking the end of the festivities. It’s abundantly clear that cinema is back, with a lull post-COVID and a writer’s strike throughout 2023. But the enduring question comes again: where is the appreciation for horror movies?

Les merDen stormfulle aftenen fredag 24. oktober bega eg meg ut på ein tur til Vega Scene for å vere vitne til noregspremiera av Frankenstein. Dette er en film eg har gleda meg til sida eg fann ut om den, så da måtte eg sjølvsagt kjøpe billett.
Les merIn October, we joined a cult… film seminar. We visited Cinemateket for Filmklubbforbundet and Z filmtidsskrift’s annual film seminar. This year’s theme was cult cinema. We spent our weekend listening to four informative lectures coupled with four interesting films, and then interviewed four academics on their respective interest regarding the cult genre.
Les merI am very on the fence about whether or not Mangold’s newest biopic A Complete Unknown (2024) is a political movie or not. Let me explain why.
Les merI’ll admit that historically I’ve been a bit of a baby when it comes to horror, but I couldn’t resist the temptation of dipping my toes further into the genre when the Norsk Filmklubbforbund (Norwegian Federation of Film Societies - NFK) announced its annual film seminar theme would indeed be that.

Les merThe 95th Academy Awards ceremony was a blast, with eclectic, extravagant, quite perplexing absurdist comedy/drama Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) scoring 7 wins, including in the “Best Picture” category. Written and directed by the duo of “Daniels” aka Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, this film is as far from “Oscar bait” as it can be. Michelle Yeoh’s historic — first Asian actress to have won an Oscar in the “Best Actress” nomination — golden statuette is yet another clear signal of the long-awaited cinematographic tectonic shift. The Oscars are — finally! — changing. But are they?
Les merWhy I Dance (2021) er en dansedokumentar regissert av Andreas Strand Renberg med koreografi av Louis Clément da Costa.
