Overview
CROSSINGS is an annual Arctic film festival in Vardø, northern Norway, known for transforming unusual local spaces such as fishing sheds, abandoned buildings, and empty houses into screening venues. It showcases a broad mix of films from around the world—especially works with northern, Arctic, and crossing-related themes—and is notable in the festival circuit for its distinctive setting, community involvement, and audience award, the Fireweed.
