Festival in Review 2023

The 34th edition of Nordisk Panorama Film Festival brought the best Nordic short films and documentaries to Malmö, Sweden. The six day festival offered film screenings at art house cinemas as well as experiences and events all around town 21-26 September 2023.

We were delighted to welcome over 900 accredited guests to Malmö, as well as a growing local audience who joined us not just in the cinemas but also in our festival centre at Panora and at concerts and performances around the city. With sold out screenings, crowded seminars and industry events, and a side programme which drew audiences all over town, it’s clear that the festival continues to be an important meeting point for filmmakers and film lovers on a local and regional level.

64 films were shown in competition and a new addition to our award categories was the first-ever Nordic Documentary Producer Award, in which each Nordic directors’ guild nominated an outstanding producer from their country. This year we also celebrated the festival’s 10th anniversary in Malmö with a bird’s eye view of the city we have fondly grown to call home. With a performance in the 54th floor of the iconic Turning Torso and the inauguration of our elevator pitch concept in the Scandic Triangeln elevator, in 2023 Nordisk Panorama shot up and into some of the tallest buildings the city has to offer.

Besides bringing a selection of high quality films to the screens, Nordisk Panorama Film Festival is one of the most important industry meeting points for Nordic film professionals and those interested in Nordic filmmaking. Find out more at FORUM and MARKET.
