About Norwegian Film

Streaming services and film distribution

Norgesfilm is a leading Nordic player in the development and delivery of streaming services for films. Our business idea is to be a preferred partner at the intersection of technology and film distribution.

Through innovative streaming services, high expertise in a motivated team, international network and skilled partners, we will help simplify and professionalize our customers' work every day in making films available to their target groups and help maximize the value of the content.

Our customers are in the private and public sector in the Nordic region and represent the library industry, the education sector, the professional film industry, media houses, healthcare and the cultural industry. Some customers use the streaming services we provide to them within training and education. Others operate with the purpose of cultural and historical dissemination, or they have purely commercial objectives.

How we work with the environment and sustainability

Norgesfilm has helped change the way libraries and schools use film. Where physical DVDs and Blu-Rays were previously sent, thousands of schools and libraries in many countries now stream films from our services, with the rights cleared and an editorial team that selects the films together with teachers, librarians and the users themselves.

Digital services still have a footprint that is easy to overlook: Servers that use energy and water, and equipment that must be produced and disposed of. We take responsibility for that. We have been Environmental Lighthouse certified since 2017. The certification gives us a system to measure, set goals and improve year after year.

This is what we do:

Streaming and operation: Each film should be delivered with as little energy and storage space as possible. The services are hosted in the cloud with suppliers who document their sustainability work, we compress the master files, only ingest films we actually need to distribute, and deliver in the quality the device and network require. The heat from our local servers goes to heating the building.
Data center: We set requirements for our suppliers of data center services, including those related to energy and water use and natural diversity.
Technical equipment: We buy used wherever possible, and use the equipment until it can no longer do the job.
Travel: We have customers throughout the Nordic region, and prioritize digital meetings.
The office: The operation of the Film & TV House on Odderøya should be as easy as possible. Low energy consumption, sorted waste, consolidated deliveries and paperless reporting to the rights holders. Outside, we let the grass grow for the pollinators.
Our people: We are a small team where everyone should be seen, and we make it easy for people to enjoy their job over time.

Every year we report climate and environmental data to the Environmental Lighthouse.
