Nordics Explain — a new Northern Lights FF initiative in Warsaw that connects Nordic filmmakers — including Magnus von Horn and Nils Toftenow — with Belarusian creators in exile, as well as emerging filmmakers and young cinema enthusiasts in Poland. The idea is simple: Nordic professionals share real, practical tools that help filmmakers who are working under strong political and financial pressure keep on creating and stay connected to the industry.
Two evenings — two screenings with open conversations: “Zlatan’s Nose” and “The Girl with the Needle” — followed by honest discussions about filmmaking, storytelling choices, and navigating the European film landscape.
There is also a special screening for a younger audience within the program - the Norwegian animated film “The Polar Bear Prince” — a family-friendly story to enjoy together with kids.
