Welcome to Focus on the Nordics!
Thank you for joining us in Cannes as we welcome you to Focus
on the Nordics at MIPTV 2015. It is a big pleasure to present to you
the variety of Norwegian TV production. The Norwegian Producers’
Association are thrilled to be given the opportunity to focus the spot
light north during the international TV and digital content market
in Cannes. Sponsored by the Norwegian Film Institute we enter the
Nordic pavilion in connection with the Palais des Festivals.
Norwegian TV production is at its most innovative position ever with
a huge variety of productions and expressions. The growth in quality
and quantity brought to the TV screens in Norway as well as abroad
makes us proud to present this catalogue and also to invite you to
take a tour of what is happening in the North.
We are certain that you will find the Norwegian productions and
producers interesting. We hope that you will spend some time talking to us while we are in Cannes and that you bring some of the
Norwegian productions back home with you from Cannes.

SYNOPSIS Explosive science, crazy teachers. What
happens at school after the pupils have left? Is it all
quiet? Not in this school! Three teachers do all the
cool and crazy experiments and fun things they cannot do during school hours. They push the limits for
what is safe and what is wise, and use all their science-skills and creativity to build stuff that is bigger,
faster, wilder and crazier. They tape all their activities
and publish it on their secret video blog meant for
other teachers. The essential idea is edutainment.
Making science fun, easy and accessible.

SYNOPSIS TRIO is a modern heroic saga, where vital human values are at stake. A series full of action,
humour and drama. A crime series that takes place
against the Norwegian backdrop of the great outdoors, extreme sports, mysticism, folklore and history. All this is framed by ancient churches, creepy old
houses and farms, towering mountains, fast-flowing
rivers and glaciers. At the intersection of the modern and the traditional, we are witness to dangerous
stunts, canyoning, cyclo-cross and abseiling, pursuits
through dark forests and hunts in deep, dark lakes.

Iben thinks it’s fun to tell an occasional lie, though not

SYNOPSIS Chikara - The Sumo Wrestler’s Son follows 10-year-old Japanese boy Chikara, on his struggle to become a sumo wrestler. His father, Harumitsu, was himself a
professional sumo wrestler in one of Tokyo’s most revered clubs and expectations for
Chikara are extremely high. The film is a story of a small boy in a tough sport under the
weight of parental pressure and expectations. But above all, it is a universal narrative
about the relationship between a father and his son.
SYNOPSIS Ruben (10) has won nearly every fencing title in Denmark, so this season
he faces some of the toughest and most talented fencers in Europe. A lot is at stake
for Ruben and he has to find the strength within himself to overcome his anxiety and
control his temper if he is to win the big European championship.
Ruben’s best friend Marie is a fencer too, and alongside the drama that is played out on
the fencing piste, an even greater story is unfolding, a friendship between a boy and a
girl in their early teens - a time when many things change.

SYNOPSIS There are great expectations upon Anita Zenani - a South African township
girl - being a junior in BMX. The pressure is starting to weigh heavily on her shoulders.
The last couple of years have been extremely intensive for her. With hard training and
competition, as well as growing popularity and a vast coverage of Anita’s success int
he local TV and newspapers, the expectations might be a monster growing into a giant
rather than an encouragement and inspiration.
SYNOPSIS “There’s nothing else I want to do, oh! I love it so much” says Ruth and sighs.
By loving cheerleading Ruth knows she has to struggle with prejudice, from everywhere. Ruth has been selected for the competing team within the club “Twisters”. At
first she is lost, physically skilled yet struggling with the choreography and being a
newbie. We see her grow from the challenge and within the coming months her team
will make it to the national championships.
