Overview
The Amandus Film Festival is the biggest film festival for youth in Norway. Here you can submit films to two categories: - The national film competition (only for Norwegian submissions) - The International Youth Program In both cases the films must be made by filmmakers between 13-20 years old. For the national competition we would reccomend using the submission form on our website: https://amandusfestivalen.no/filmpamelding/ Please see Amandus Blikkfang for our Nordic film competition for film students and filmmakers aged 20-26: https://filmfreeway.com/amandusblikkfang Amandusfestivalen er Norges største filmfestival for ungdom under 20 år. Amandusfestivalen har vært arrangert helt siden 1987, og har siden etablert seg som den største og viktigste møteplassen for unge filmskapere i Norge. Festivalen avholdes årlig uken før påske i Lillehammer, og hundrevis av ungdommer fra hele Norge reiser hit for å delta på kurs, seminarer og visning av filmer laget av og for ungdom.
