SEEK@NUFF 2019

SEEK@NUFF 2019 is a special workshop group during NUFF that presents young filmmakers with the challenge of innovating media formats – from elaborate 360 short film productions to multi-tiered interactive films. This year, the recent mainstream success of the interactive film format in Black Mirror: Bandersnatch on Netflix, is the focal point for SEEK. The workshop will thus be focusing on delivering – from idea to a finished result – an interactive film production in 6 days that experiments with multiple narrative pathways. As such, we´re looking for all sorts of creative types, from filmmakers, to graphic designers, to programmers who can take on the challenge of developing a compelling film experience unlike no other!

The group will be mentored by Marta Ordeig from Garage Stories and will develop and publish their work on the Eko Studio platform - which can be then distributed online.  A total of 6 spaces is available for the SEEK@NUFF. Participants must be between the ages of 16 – 26, and reside in Northern Norway to qualify.
