No Other Land – special screening at Kunstnernes Hus Kino

November 26 2024

Join us for a special screening of the film No Other Land, announced as one of the most important and influential film of 2024.

Location: Kunstnernes Hus Cinema
Date and Time: Wednesday, December 4, 2024, 6:00 PM – 7:35 PM

Join us for a special screening of the film No Other Land, announced as one of the most important and influential film of 2024.

For half a decade, Basel Adra, a Palestinian activist, films his community of Masafer Yatta being destroyed by Israel’s occupation, as he builds an unlikely alliance with an Israeli journalist who wants to join his fight.

The screening will be preceded by a conversation with its producers, Bård Kjøge Rønning og Fabien Greenberg from the Norwegian production company behind the film, Antipode films. They will discuss their collaboration with the film collective based in Palestine and Israel – Basel Adra, Hamdam Ballal, Yuval Abraham og Rachel Szor and recount the reception following the film’s release, which involves—not only critical acclaim—but also cancelations, accusations of antisemitism, visa denials, as well as death threats.

The screening is organised in collaboration with Antipode Films and Fritt Ord. It is part of a broader program arranged in partnership with Fritt Ord for which the exhibitions of Kunstnernes Hus create the framework for current conversations about the intersections of art, society and freedom.

Frie stemmer Deeyah Khan:

November 24 2024

Dokumentarfilmskaper Deeyah Khan startet sin karriere med å lage en dokumentar om en kvinne som ble utsatt for æresdrap. Filmen ble vendepunktet i hennes anvendelse av ytringsfriheten, sier hun. Khan er basert i London og jobber internasjonalt.

– Det som skiller Norge fra mange andre land, er evnen til å delta i konstruktiv offentlig dialog rundt vanskelige og ofte polariserende temaer. Samtidig kan vi bli flinkere til å inkludere et større mangfold og flere minoritetsstemmer, sier hun.

Intervjuet er på engelsk.

Seminar on freedom of expression at the Norwegian Parliament: "Stop talking about technology platforms as though we have no way to control them.”

November 20 2024

“It is possible to regulate technology platforms”, stated former Minister of Culture Trine Skei Grande on 19 November, when the Presidium of the Storting invited the public to a seminar on freedom of expression.
“We are not without options for exercising control”
To protect freedom of expression in a digital era, it is important that we dare to regulate the international technology platforms and social media, and that we are on the alert for the negative effects of artificial intelligence and deep fakes.
