Sørfond

We are proud to present the very latest films to receive funding from The Norwegian South Film Fund – Sørfond. The fund is run by The Oslo Festival Agency in partnership with the Norwegian Film Institute and aims to support film projects from developing countries where film funding is hard to come by for political or economic reasons. The fund’s assets come from the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
