\nNew Nordic Films, the Norwegian International Film Festival\u2019s industry confab in Haugesund, has announced the program for its first ever French Focus, set up to\u00a0foster partnerships and co-productions between\u00a0France\u00a0and the Nordic countries.\u202f\u202f<\/p>\n

The event, due to run Aug. 25-28, is organised by New Nordic Films in partnership with\u00a0the\u00a0Institut\u00a0Francais\u00a0de\u00a0Norv\u00e8ge,\u00a0the\u202fFrench Ministry\u202fof\u202fEurope and\u00a0Foreign Affairs, France\u2019s National Center for Cinema (CNC) and promotional body Unifrance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tHeadlining the French Focus is a pitching session on Aug. 26 at the Nordic Co-Production Market of four French films in development, of which two are produced by pedigreed producer Les Valseurs, a Cannes Un Certain Regard Jury Prize winner this year for \u201cElephants in the Fog\u201d and Un Certain Regard top prize winner in 2025 for \u201cThe Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Produced by Les Valseurs co-founder Damien Megherdi, \u201cBorderline\u201d is the feature length spin-off of Yves Piat\u2019s Oscar and C\u00e9sar nominated short film \u201cNefta Football Club,\u201d while \u201cAll the Softness in the World\u201d is an ambitious animation project by Turkish artist Ay\u00e7e Kartal\u00a0whose\u00a0short film \u201cWicked Girl\u201d\u00a0was the first animation\u00a0short\u00a0to\u00a0scoop the Grand Prix in Clermont-Ferrand in 2018.<\/p>\n

\n\tTwo\u00a0other directorial debuts make the cut: the creative documentary \u201cBout\u00e8s\u201d by Jeanne G\u00e9li and Lo\u00efs Szymczak, produced by\u00a0Womanray\u2019s\u00a0Marielle Tricoire,\u00a0co-producer of Jim Jarmusch\u2019s \u201cFather Mother Sister Brother\u201d\u00a0and \u201cTemporary Lives\u201d\u00a0by Syrian-Norwegian filmmaker\u00a0Wessam Hachicho, produced by\u00a0Respiro Productions (\u201cIn the Nguyen Kitchen\u201d).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tBesides the four-title pitch, the French Focus will include a panel\u00a0on co-production opportunities\u00a0between France and the five Nordic countries, and a case study on the anticipated \u201cIbelin\u201d by Norwegian-born Morten Tyldum, mostly famed for the Oscar-winning \u201cThe Imitation Game.\u201d The biopic about online gamer Mats Steen \u2013 starring Charlie Plummer, Stephen Graham, Toni Collette, and Bill Nighy \u2013 is currently in production for France\u2019s Vend\u00f4me Pictures, Path\u00e9, and Norway\u2019s Neby-Tyldum AS.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI am incredibly happy that we are finally able to have a French focus in Haugesund,\u201d said Gyda Velvin Myklebust, head of New Nordic Films. \u201cFrench cinema is well-known internationally for high artistic quality, and we in the Nordic region have also recently made a strong mark internationally,\u201d she added, referring to \u201cSentimental Value\u201d\u2019s Oscar win for Best International Feature, the first ever for Norway. \u201cFrance and the Nordics have highly talented and ambitious filmmakers, and we believe our French focus will give wind to a French-Nordic wave of co-productions and creative collaborations between our countries.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFor Kjersti Mo, CEO at the Norwegian Film Institute (NFI) the French Focus reflects \u201ca growing recognition that European film depends on stronger international collaboration.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cFrance has one of Europe\u2019s strongest film cultures and most developed production ecosystems, while the Nordic countries bring distinctive stories, strong creative talent and considerable international experience,\u201d Mo added. \u201cThese different strengths are precisely what can make the partnerships valuable,\u201d said the NFI chief, who also underscored that\u00a0 \u201cinternational collaboration is a central priority\u201d in the institute\u2019s new strategy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Speaking to\u00a0Variety,<\/em>\u00a0Michel Plazanet, CNC director of international affairs, pointed out that \u201cthe Nordic countries, which traditionally co-produce extensively among themselves, are now \u201cseeking additional partners, particularly in France, as this opens up numerous opportunities: access to funding (such as \u201cAide aux Cin\u00e9mas du Monde,\u201d regional co-production funds, Arte, and SOFICA), distribution advantages (French sales agents have an excellent reputation, and French co-productions gain easier access to the Cannes and Annecy festivals), and better access to the French theatrical market, the largest in Europe, especially for arthouse cinema.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tConversely the Nordics offer clear advantages for French producers, Plazanet said, as the region boasts \u201crobust institutions, substantial and diverse public and private funding, and reliable professionals accustomed to international co-production.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nAide au Cin\u00e9ma du Monde<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tSo far 20 Nordic projects have received backing from the ACM including three Cannes entries from Joachim Trier (\u201cSentimental Value,\u201d \u201cThe Worst Person in the World,\u201d \u201cLouder than Bombs\u201d), and two from Tarik Saleh (\u201cEagles of the Republic,\u201d Boys from Heaven\u201d).<\/p>\n

\n\tDenmark, Norway, and Sweden are the most active [co-production] countries, but Iceland also performs very well, given its very small population,\u201d Plazanet said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Among the French Focus attendees, Julie Billy, founder of Paris-based June Films, was just granted ACM support for the Icelandic project in production \u201cA Favour\u201d by Gr\u00edmur H\u00e1konarson (\u201cRams\u201d), and is developing a project with Norway\u2019s Eye Eye Pictures (\u201cFjord,\u201d \u201cSentimental Value\u201d). \u201cThe French Focus comes at exactly the right moment,\u201d said the producer, also interested in creators \u2013 notably from the S\u00e1mi community, \u201cwhose perspectives are unique and increasingly important on the international scene.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI would love to see Norway as a minority co-producer in more French productions, and of course the other way around,\u201d added Eye Eye Pictures co-founder Andrea Berendsen Ottmar who also hopes the French Focus will \u201cinspire, so that we can help each other to think outside the box in terms of how we structure and finance our projects. Independent producers all over Europe need to stand together and support each other, and forums like this are very valuable in that sense,\u201d she observed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As noted by Plazanet, the French Focus plays within a series of French\/Nordic industry events, multiplied in the last two years, that peaked in 2025 with the Visions Nordiques Festival in Paris. Next on the CNC\u2019s top agenda is \u201can institutional alignment on key European issues, notably the transposition of the AVMS Directive and platform obligations.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Norwegian International Film festival, running Aug. 22-28, will platform eight French films in its section French Touch.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\u201cBordeline\u201d<\/strong> (\u201cSur la ligne,\u201d Yves Piat)
Produced by Daniel Megherbi, Les Valseurs<\/p>\n

\n\tFeature debut from the director of the 2020 Oscar-nominated short film \u201cNeftah Football Club who has sketched out ideas from his short, together with writer Alaa Eddine Aljem (\u201cThe Unknown Saint\u201d). The story turns Hishem, on a customs officer on the Algerian-Tunisian border, who encounters Tesla, a donkey lost in the desert with headphones over his ears, with a bag of cocaine on his back.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tProducer Megherbi who co-produced with the Nordics Nepalese pic \u201cElephants in the Fog,\u201d a Cannes\u2019 Jury Prize winner, believes \u201cBordeline\u201d\u2019s deadpan, absurd humor, \u201csomewhere between Elia Suleiman and the Coen brothers,\u201d will resonate well with Nordic partners and the general audience. Public backers on board include the CNC, R\u00e9gion Nouvelle-Aquitaine and ICEC in Spain via Spanish co-producers Sumendi and BTeam Pictures. Filming is pencilled for April-May 2027.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAll the Softness in the World\u201d<\/strong> (\u201cToute la douceur du monde,\u201d Ay\u00e7e Kartal)
Produced by Damien Megherbi, Les Valseurs<\/p>\n

\n\tTurkish animation filmmaker Ay\u00e7e Kartal and Megherbi reunite on the helmer\u2019s feature length debut after his multi-awarded short film \u201cWicked Girls,\u201d an Annecy\u00a0Jury\u00a0Prize) winner.\u00a0Set in 1950, the story follows the young Levon who has grown up posing as a girl, to be protected from an ancient family vendetta. In his search for his true identity, Levon lands in Paris in the world of Haute Couture where he begins to recover a sense of self through creativity.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI want to explore, through [Levon] an alternative history of fashion, one rooted in survival, not spectacle,\u201d said Kartal in a statement. \u201cAt Haugesund, we hope to find a\u00a0Nordic co-producer who understands what we\u2019re trying to achieve with this project.\u00a0It\u2019s an ambitious, innovative piece of adult animation, and we want a partner who\u2019s genuinely excited by that,\u201d said Megherbi who\u2019s secured development support from the CNC and Hauts-de-France region.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBout\u00e8s\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0(Jeanne G\u00e9li, Lo\u00efs Szymczak)
Produced by Marieke Tricoire, Womanray<\/p>\n

\n\tA liife-affirming documentary in which\u00a0forensic pathologist Jeanne G\u00e9li\u00a0turns filmmaker to capture the frailty and beauty of life, as her partner Loic Szymczak, an Olympic diver and visual artist, suddenly\u00a0fights for his own life, upended by a malignant brain tumor. Together they\u00a0move towards one act of faith-a performative dive in the heart of Paris.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis film is, above all, a love story. We are making it to transform the reality of illness into poetic material,\u201d said the co-directors.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tWomanray founder Tricoire, who bridges luxury brands with film and served as co-producer on Jim Jarmusch\u2019s Golden Lion winner \u201cFather, Mother, Sister, Brother,\u201d said she signed up for New Nordic Films when she found out that the founder of the extreme sport D\u00f8ds diving (Death diving) was born in Norway. The project co-produced with Hutong in France, is currently shooting, with a delivery pencilled for 2028.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cTemporary Lives\u201d<\/strong> (Wessam Hachicho)
Produced by Am\u00e9lie Qu\u00e9ret, Respiro Productions<\/p>\n

\n\tWessam Hachido, a graduate from Oslo\u2019s Westerdals film school and a former cinematographer in Syria, draws from her own uprooting experience to tell the story of a Syrian teenager refugee in Oslo\u00a0and\u00a0his estranged father as they seek asylum in Norway.\u00a0\u201cBeneath the\u00a0[film\u2019s]\u00a0political context lies an intimate story about unresolved trauma, family bonds and the sacrifices parents and children make for one another,\u201d said Hachido. The film\u00a0also asks how institutions shape individual lives, as every decision the characters make becomes a negotiation between survival, dignity, and hope.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tQueret, who met the rising filmmaker at\u00a0the Less is More\u00a0Lab,\u00a0said she was blown away by Hachido\u2019s script and \u201cclear artistic identity.\u201d In Haugesund, she will be looking for a Norwegian co-producer and access to Nordic\u00a0funds. Filming is due to start in 2027.\u00a0<\/p>\n
