Norway extends across 14 degrees of latitude and measures 1.752 kilometers from North to South, making it a country with a varied landscape and climate seldom found elsewhere.
The coastline meanders northward with thousands of islands, bays and fjords. The country stretches from the mild, gentle south where snowfall is light to a tough, harsh Arctic landscape to the north, from where it curves inwards to the Russian tundra. In the west, deep fjords cut far inland where they meet a wild and beautiful mountain landscape with snow-clad peaks, glaciers and waterfalls. Further east the landscape is more open, with thousands of glittering lakes, extensive pine forests and a patchwork of farms and fields. Between the mainland and the north pole lie the islands of Svalbard, a little bit of Norway far out in the Arctic ocean.
The capital city - Oslo- lies at the head of a fjord, surrounded by wooded hills. Prosperity and growth in the recent years have put an emphasis on top-quality architecture and eye-catching iconic buildings. Norway has become one of the most modern countries in the word, but still retained its traditional roots.
The Norwegian region covered by our commission also has a regional film fund. To be able to apply, you need a Norwegian co-producer and a certain amount of spending planned on crew and locations in the region. Read more:

Norway is the land of the fjords, it is the birthplace of skiing, and the land of the midnight sun. Not only is the midnight sun a wonderful sight, it also gives you more hours to shoot and magical light.
Impressive waterfalls cascades down the mountainsides and rivers grow strong in green and fertile valleys. The biggest cities such as Bergen and Alesund, offer epic views from surrounding mountains.
Norway might be at its best when being itself, but easily doubles for Greenland, Alaska, even the Himalayas, Siberia and the Antarctic. Come May and June and you can still shoot snow scenes in the mountains, and colourful summer scenes an hour's drive down to the fjord.
