- What is it really like to be the only open queer in the whole school? In the documentary Hello World (Hei Verden), we follow the lives of Runa (12), Viktor (12), Dina (13) and Joachim (14) through the three years they go to lower secondary school. Told through the eyes of the four young people, the film gives us a window into understanding what it is like to grow up as a queer in Norway today. What goes around in your head when you have actually decided to get out of the closet and tell the outside world that you are queer, but the school asks you to wait so they can "prepare" the news first? Or when a teammate on the handball team accuses you of looking too much in the shower after training? And how are you going to find a date for the prom when you're the only one at school who's out of the closet? And one of them gets the opportunity to meet the famous drag queens from RuPaul's Drag Race. Will life as an open queer become easier over time? Hello world is a fun, engaging and moving upbringing story about not being like everyone else.

- With vitality, humor and unexpected situations, this film paints an unusual portrait of a group of young friends living in a refugee camp in the middle of the stony Saharan desert. A minefield and the second largest military wall in the world separates this group of friends from their homeland that they have only heard about in their parent's stories. They are called the Sahrawis and have been abandoned in this refugee camp in the middle of a stony desert ever since Morocco drove them out of Western Sahara forty years ago. Trapped somewhere in between life and death, Sidahmed, Zaara and Taher refuse to be bothered by it. They spend their days fixing cars that can't really take them anywhere, fighting for political change without response and together they use the power of creativity and play to denounce the reality around them and expand beyond the borders of the camp.

- 2020 was the year when people all over the world were forced to stop adapting to a new everyday life. The pandemic creates fear, uncertainty and new ways of living. In We stay at home, 11 children and young people from different countries around the world take us on their individual journeys with Covid 19 as a common backdrop. Regardless of whether you are a thirteen-year-old from France, a nine-year-old from Brooklyn or a nineteen-year-old from Brazil, you can be torn between the same frustration and hope that the pandemic will soon be over. And share common dreams about what youth should be like. Lilou (15) spends long days in lockdown with her goats and dogs in the countryside of Spain. Mohammed (17) from Bærum sets out on his life's first forest trip when everything else is closed. The young people in the film have to adapt to many changes as a result of the virus. In parallel with Covid-19, big existential questions arise about what kind of world we actually live in. In the USA, the entire country is in an uproar after the murder of George Floyd, in Brazil the death toll is rising daily, and yet people are encouraged to live as normal. But what is normal now? Eleven young people from eight different countries deal with the crisis in different ways. Through their own footage, we get to see how thoughts and reactions to isolation, illness, home-schooling, racism and heartbreak unfold. They long to breathe freely, to be with friends and to no longer be afraid. Because in the background lies the fear of infecting a family member or other people in the risk zone like a quivering nerve. Alecsander (19), who lives outside Rio de Janeiro, has severe bronchitis so he has not been out since March 14, and is starting to go "crazy" from being "closed". Audra (17) in New York is upset and shocked by racism and violence after the brutal murder of George Floyd. Clyde (9) from Brooklyn is frustrated by not knowing anything about his future. When does school start again? When can he finally move back home to Brooklyn and his friends? And will things ever really go back to normal? A warm film about being human seen through the eyes of the young, at a time in history when the world was thrown into a pandemic that will affect us for a long time.
- Jesper is nine years old. It's morning and he's waiting for his best friend to come by his apartment, so they can head to school together. But when the door-bell rings it's a grown man who's standing outside the door explaining that he has to talk with his mother. Something has happened to dad. Jesper thought to himself that his dad probably hurt his fingers because he was working with fire and other special-effects. Really cool and dangerous stuff. But that was not what really happened. His father was found dead after a fire. When Jesper grew up, he got to know the truth about his father's passing: He had been drunk and fallen asleep. The fire was a consequence of his alcohol abuse. A few weeks ago, coming home from a night out, I passed out on the sofa. I open my eyes and my roommate is leaning over me, shouting in an apartment full of smoke. The fire alarm saved us. He was furious, but I couldn't remember that I had put a pizza in the oven after coming home. Dear dad sheds light on different aspects of how a family reproduces their problems and how alcoholism is hard to acknowledge when you're from the outside looks like a successful guy working in the movie-business.
