Doc Lounge at Nordisk Panorama Film Festival
Today is Friday but not just any Friday. Today, the 27th edition of the Nordisk Panorma Nordic Short- and Documentary Film Festival starts in Malmö, Sweden. During six days, the festival presents a broad program of documentary films, short films, master classes, workshops, special events and social gatherings. Read more about the festival on Nordisk Panorama official website.
Just as every other year, the festival has a special focus and this years focus is set to be Norway. Norway will not only be seen as the theme through the whole festival, some of the events are more norweigan than other. For exampel the festival opening film Magnus (Norweigan film), the dinner with Aslaug Holm (Norweigan film director), the screening of Dugma - The Button (Norweigan film) and the masterclass with Paul S. Refsdal - the (Norweigan) director of Dugma - The Button. Other subthemes at this years festival are among others Swedish Sin, Digital Distribution and Animation.
