We're giving away five double passes to the 2025 Hurtigruten Scandinavian Film Festival and entering couldn't be easier.
The festival continues to serve as a crucial bridge between Nordic filmmakers and international audiences, with many titles making their Australian premieres after prestigious festival runs. From Cannes Grand Prix winners to Göteborg Film Festival champions, the programming demonstrates the continued vitality of Scandinavian cinema on the world stage.
The selection process prioritises films that showcase the distinctive Nordic voice – whether through intimate character studies, bold visual storytelling, or the region’s trademark blend of darkness and hope.
Beyond the headline attractions, the festival has become a discovery platform for emerging Nordic talent and lesser-known gems that might otherwise never reach Australian shores. This year’s program particularly celebrates the diversity within Nordic cinema, spanning from big-budget historical dramas to intimate independent productions, ensuring there’s something for every type of film lover. The inclusion of sustainable filmmaking initiatives, like Iceland’s The Mountain, also reflects the region’s progressive values and environmental consciousness.
