History

The Norwegian Film Institute was founded in 1955 to support and develop Norwegian cinema. [1]

On 1 April 2008, it was merged with Norwegian Film Fund, Norwegian Film Development, and Norwegian Film Commission to form a new body under the same name, under the auspices of the Royal Norwegian Ministry of Culture. [1] In 2020, the Norwegian Film Commission was separated from the Norwegian Film Institute and established as an independent agency.

In 2020, the Norwegian Film Commission was established as a separate entity, taking over the task of supporting international films being filmed in Norway from the Norwegian Film Institute. [2]

Description

The NFI is a member of the International Federation of Film Archives, the International Council of Educational Media, European Film Academy, and Scandinavian Films, and represents Norway in Eurimages and the European Audiovisual Observatory.[ citation needed ]

A large amount of the library's archives are stored in a high-security bunker in Mo i Rana. [3]
