Cinema Of Norway
Norway has a notable film industry. The first domestically produced Norwegian film was a short about fishermen, '' Fiskerlivets farer'' ("The Dangers in a Fisherman's Life"), dating from 1907. The first feature was released in 1911, produced by Halfman Nobel Roede. In 1931 Tancred Ibsen, grandson of playwright Henrik Ibsen, presented Norway's first feature-length sound film, ''Den store barnedåpen'' ("The Great Christening"). Throughout the 1930s, Ibsen dominated the nation's film industry. Fellow film director Leif Sinding was also very successful during this period. Ibsen produced conventional melodramas more or less on the model of Hollywood films. In the early 21st century, several Norwegian film directors have had the opportunity to go to Hollywood to direct various independent films. As of 2011, nearly 900 films had been produced in Norway, with a third of these being made within the last 15 years. Notable films 1920s * Pan (1922) * Troll-elgen (1927) * Laila ...
