The International Sámi Film Institute has received 10 million Norwegian Kroner in funding from SpareBank 1 Nord-Norge’s ‘Samfunnsløftet’ to invest in a 3-year Sámi Film Initiative in the North.
We believe that supporting a Sámi film initiative (Samisk filmløft) is the right step to take now and anticipate significant ripple effects for film productions in the years to come.Through Samfunnsløftet, SpareBank 1 Nord-Norge aims to promote the identity and belonging of Northern Norway, and the best way to tell these stories is from the north. The Sámi perspective is a natural part of this effort.
Hanne Karoline Kræmer, CEO of SpareBank 1 Nord-Norge
The 10 million kroner from Samfunnsløftet is truly unbelievable, and we are incredibly proud of this collaboration! This investment represents a historic boost for us, enabling the creation of many new Sámi films and TV series in the coming years.
Anne Lajla Utsi, Director of the International Sámi Film Institute
The Sámi Film Initiative was launched during the premiere of ÁRRAN 360 2.0 at the opening of ‘Bodø 2024’ on February 3, 2024.
