Recently, the Norwegian Film Institute (NFI) has made a series of funding announcements, including allocating support to five projects as part of the New Roads scheme and the launch of grants for the distribution of films in local cinemas.

Starting with New Roads, the NFI’s talent initiative, five feature-length projects at the development stage – two fictions, two documentaries and one drama series – have received a total of over NOK 2,575,500 (€253,700) from the institute. The aim of New Roads is to inspire and encourage innovative thinking and artistic courage among proven talents, and along with the grants for development, a letter of intent concerning production grants is also given to the recipients. A total of 20 projects were submitted to the scheme, with 70% coming from women filmmakers.
