Mission & Strategy
The Norwegian Film School (NFS)
The Norwegian Film School was founded by an act of the Norwegian Parliament, and opened in 1997 as a faculty at Lillehammer University College (LUC). In 2017, LUC amalgameted with another university college to become Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences.
NFS offers both Bachelor of Fine Arts and Master of Fine Arts programmes in filmmaking. In addition, NFS hosts PhD-level artistic researchers through the national Artistic Research Fellowship Programme.
The School maintains a strong and dynamic relationship with the professional film industry in Norway and beyond, with both the full-time teaching staff as well as guest instructors coming from active careers in the Norwegian and international film, television, and related industries.
