Delhi to host first ever Nordic-Baltic Youth Film Festival

Nordic-Baltic Embassies are all set to host the first ever Nordic- Baltic youth film festival in Delhi in collaboration with India Habitat Centre from 13- 18 November 2017. Shows will be free of cost and will be held from 6.30 pm every evening.

Nordic-Baltic countries (Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway and Sweden) are tied together geographically and historically through trade, culture and many common yet diverse value systems. Through this film festival, the Embassies of these countries carry the bond further, reaching out to the culturally rich Delhi audiences.

This platform offers a great opportunity for Nordic Baltic countries to reflect on the similarities and appreciate their differences. It will also prove to be a platform to enhance people-to-people relations and share the thrill, excitement and experience of watching films together.

The festival will offer a diverse mix of some of the most celebrated and Oscar nominated movies from the Nordic-Baltic region. These films are a collection of dreams, passion, fear, fun and joy.

From action movies to family films to documentaries, the collection offers something for everyone's taste. Full screening schedule can be seen below:
