Barnefilmfestivalen April 22 – 27 2024
Welcome to the Industry Days at BFF!
This year´s industry days will be held from the 24th to the 26th of April. We are pleased to invite you to come visit our festival in the beautiful city of Kristiansand, and spend a few days with us packed with films, industry events, and social gatherings.
WEDNESDAY THE 24TH OF APRIL
The director is half Icelandic and half Norwegian, based in Bergen. As a self-taught filmmaker, she began as a photographer and produced her own material for several years. Her career stretches back to 2012, where she started making music videos and short films. In 2018, Gunnbjörg wrote and directed her first feature-length film, the zero-budget production "For evig og aldri", a feel-good film about abortion and the expectations of motherhood. In 2019, she co-directed her first full-length documentary, "The Art of Fallism" , a political film about structural racism and gender in South Africa. Gunnbjörg's interest in mixing genres, especially comedy and drama - with elements of action - has led her to write and direct "Victoria must die".
NB! Limited number of seats
The film "Victoria must go" is staged as an industry screening at Kristiansand Kino in hall 7 at 11 a.m
