The story

Kosmorama Trondheim International Film Festival in Trondheim

Kosmorama Trondheim International Film Festival was established in 2004 at the initiative of Trondheim municipality, with Trondheim Kino proposing the idea in autumn 2003. Its first edition ran April 12-17, 2005. Named after the Kosmorama Theater, one of Trondheim's first large cinemas, opened in 1910, the festival pairs public screenings with industry-focused events aimed at strengthening Central Norway's film sector.

Kosmorama Trondheim International Film Festival owes both its existence and its name to a specific civic decision.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Kosmorama's name carries its own piece of cinema history: it borrows the name of the Kosmorama Theater, one of Trondheim's earliest large cinemas, established in 1910 by Paul Kraüsslich, and echoes the older meaning of kosmorama as a perspective rendering of the world's sights

02

The mystery stays covered

The festival was set in motion by Trondheim Kino, wholly owned by the Municipality of Trondheim, which proposed the idea in autumn 2003, with the first edition following in April 2005

03

The city starts moving

Beyond public screenings, Kosmorama has positioned itself as an industry event, aiming to strengthen the film industry in Central Norway and foster innovation where culture and industry meet, bringing in discussions and industry guests

04

The water draws everyone in

Since its founding it has also presented the Kanon award, honouring the best Norwegian films of the preceding year
