Aiming to highlight the success of Nordic films, celebrate Nordic culture and raise awareness of sustainability, the festival 2017 is being organised by the embassies of Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden, with two films from each country selected for Thai audiences.

“The organising of the Nordic Film Festival 2017 will strengthen the already strong bonds between the Nordic foreign missions in Bangkok and increase visibility of the work done by the Nordic countries present in Thailand,” says Uffe Wolffhechel, Danish ambassador. “We have selected two dramas – ‘A Second Chance’ and ‘Key House Mirror’, which offer very different examples of Danish film art.

“Tale of a Lake” and “Tale of a Forest” are the most-watched Finnish nature documentaries of all time. These films won Best Original Score for a Documentary Feature award from International Film Music Critics Association Award (IFMCA). “Operation Arctic” comes with a People’s Choice Award for Best Feature Film from TIFF Kids International Film Festival and Best Children’s or Youth Film from Amanda Awards.

Norway is screening “Victoria”, which received the Amanda Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role and “Operation Arctic” while Sweden has selected “A Holy Mess” and “Eternal Summer”.

The films have both English and Thai subtitles. Admission is free and tickets will be handed out on a first-come, first-served basis. Reservations can be made at Quartier CineArt half an hour before each screening.
