Welcome to Norway is a witty black comedy film centred on the refugee crisis currently affecting Europe. The winner of the 2016 Göteborg Film Festival – ‘Audience Award’ – Director Rune Denstad Langlo brings some levity to a highly topical issue and promises to put a smile on your face in ways you may not expect.

Denmark goes back to a darker time with its film, Land of Mine, which takes place immediately after the surrender of Nazi Germany. It follows a group of German soldiers who are tasked with the dangerous and life-threatening mission of detonating hidden weapons lying on the Danish coast. The tale is complex, riveting and gritty – watch the powerful story unfold and discover why this film has collected accolades all over the world.

If you seek something more light-hearted, A Man Called Ove – the fifth most popular film in Swedish cinema history – is charming and uplifting, while As it is in Heaven showcases community spirit through a mediocre-at-best choir overcoming obstacles, which makes for a unique and hilarious film.
