Program

In Lillehammer Cinema Theater we have rented cinema 2 (243 seats) and cinema 3 (44 seats). In cinema 2 we will show most of the newer films and have the conversations and panel discussions.

On Friday, we have planned a section from 2:00 PM to 7:00 PM in collaboration with the Norwegian TV-School in Lillehammer and the Amandus Blikkfang festival.

(This is a small festival for young filmmakers taking place at the same time) They will both contribute their own short films.

In addition to festival participants, students from the local area will be invited.
