The Norwegian Film Institute (NFI), founded in 1955 and headquartered in Oslo, Norway, is a state-owned institution with approximately 60 employees. Its primary function is to support the Norwegian film industry through the funding and promotion of film production, distribution, and archival preservation. The NFI's activities encompass movies, videos, and sound recordings. As of 2023, it continues to operate within this mandate.
The national film institutes of Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, and Iceland plan to implement the Nordic Ecological Standard (NES) for sustainable film and TV production starting in 2026. This standard aims to reduce the environmental impact of the audiovisual industry across the five Nordic countries. On August 21, 2024, a panel discussion involving Europa Distribution members and film professionals took place in Haugesund, Norway. Norwegian politicians are working to increase film and television production in Svalbard, aiming to amend regulations to allow productions there to access funding from the Norwegian Film Institute, national and regional film schemes, and the Norwegian incentive scheme. A new initiative, Visions Nordiques – French Nordic Film Days, launched this year, represents a collaboration between Nordic film institutes, the French film institute (CNC), and the Swedish Institute in Paris, with support from the Nordic Council of Ministers and Nordic embassies in France.
