Filmkontakt Nord

Filmkontakt Nord (FkN) was established 1991 by the independent Nordic short & documentary film community. It is dedicated to the promotion of Nordic short films and documentaries internationally, strengthening the Nordic-international professional network in order to market and support the Nordic short and documentary sector.

In cooperation with the five host cities Reykjavík, Bergen, Oulu, Aarhus and Malmö, FkN organises Nordisk Panorama - an event comprised of Nordisk Panorama Film Festival, Nordisk Forum for Co-financing of Documentaries, Nordisk Panorama Market and Nordisk Panorama Outlook. FkN in 2008 launched Nordisk Panorama Market Online - a digital promotional service for Nordic short films and documentaries aimed at international tv-buyers, distributors sales agents and festival programmers on the look-out for Nordic high quality content.

FkN engages in a number of industry activities acting as a facilitator and matchmaker when representing the films registered with FkN as well as introducing filmmakers to the international marketplace. Through monthly newsletters, FkN keeps the Nordic and international short and documentary film community updated on important industry events and developments. The FkN website contains more than 6000 professionals, companies and organisations in the Nordic countries and has vital dates and deadlines of key festivals, funding opportunities, seminars and workshops, relevant to Nordic independent short and documentary filmmakers.
