About

The ninth edition of Arctic Moving Image & Film Festival (AMIFF), will happen in the small coastal town of Harstad in the Arctic Northern Norway, 7 - 10 November 2024.

It gives a great opportunity to experience engaging and groundbreaking film and moving images made in the Arctic and internationally, and to hear talks and take part in interesting discussions and workshops. We celebrate film - through past, present and future - and explore our society through all the artistic expressions of film. The festival has an exciting combination of conventional film and 'moving images'; video-art, experimental film, time-based installations and sculptures, and explore the space where cinema and gallery meet. It is all set in the spectacular Arctic scenery: fjords, mountains and stunning Northern Lights, and you can experience the historic but now very modern town of Harstad; its people, museum, gallery, cafés, restaurants, and boutique shops. The perfect setting for an intimate film festival with both an experimental and an Arctic edge. 

 

The theme of the 2024 edition of AMIFF is “VÁLMMAS ON IT”, and it is created by the main curator for AMIFF 2024, Kjetil Berge.

 

The festival takes place in the local cinema, Harstad Kino, an architectual pearl from 1955. The commisioned work for AMIFF 2024 wil be at the sami centre Várdobáiki, in Evenskjer.
