The Norwegian Film Institute (Norwegian: Norsk filminstitutt) (NFI) is a Norwegian government agency that supports and develops the Norwegian film industry.
History
The Norwegian Film Institute was founded in 1955 to support and develop Norwegian cinema.[1]
On 1 April 2008, it was merged with Norwegian Film Fund, Norwegian Film Development, and Norwegian Film Commission to form a new body under the same name, under the auspices of the Royal Norwegian Ministry of Culture.[1] In 2020, the Norwegian Film Commission was separated from the Norwegian Film Institute and established as an independent agency.
In 2020, the Norwegian Film Commission was established as a separate entity, taking over the task of supporting international films being filmed in Norway from the Norwegian Film Institute.[2]
Description
The NFI is a member of the International Federation of Film Archives, the International Council of Educational Media, European Film Academy, and Scandinavian Films, and represents Norway in Eurimages and the European Audiovisual Observatory.
A large amount of the library's archives are stored in a high-security bunker in Mo i Rana.[3]
