Norgesfilm will in future collaborate with the Norwegian Film Institute on film distribution to Norwegian schools. The collaboration will make it even easier to reach schools with good films in a legal, educational and entertaining way.
The cooperation agreement that has been signed concerns the further development of Norgesfilm's film service for schools, Filmrommet.no. In addition, together with the Norwegian Film Institute, we will develop a new distribution service for school cinema films, which will eventually replace Skolekino.no.
CEO of Norgesfilm, Anders Koppang-Grønn, says that NFI's initiative to focus on film as a digital learning tool means a major boost for film's position in Norwegian schools. - More students will be able to see good Norwegian and international films and in this way learn more about the language of film. Teachers will also have access to many new and modern learning resources based on the film medium, he says.
Norgesfilm has been working with digital film dissemination towards Norwegian schools for a number of years. We greatly appreciate the trust that the Norwegian Film Institute has shown us through the collaboration that has now been entered into. The Norwegian Film Institute's commitment to the use of film in schools is a recognition that film is an important artistic and cultural expression for children and young people, and that it can also contribute to good learning.
In a press release from the Norwegian Film Institute, Julie Ova, director of the department for dissemination and society at NFI, says that NFI feels that it has gained a good, serious and long-term partner in Norgesfilm who has extensive experience in preparing films and film educational materials for schools.
In addition to the collaboration with Norgesfilm, the Norwegian Film Institute has also entered into agreements with Kulturtanken and the National Digital Learning Arena (NDLA) on the development of learning sources and pedagogical tools for film in schools.
