SFF26 - Opening Night: Fante-Anne (12A)

Fill your life with film

1920. Director: Rasmus Breistein. Runtime: 90min.

Experience Norway’s first indigenous feature film like never before!

Rasmus Breistein’s classic tells the story of the spirited orphan Anne and her complicated love for farm boy Haldor, set amidst the rural life, folk traditions and stunning landscapes of Norway. The film was a huge success on its release and marked the beginning of Norway’s national romantic cinema.

For HippFest’s Opening Night, Fante-Anne will be brought to life with a UK premiere of a new live score by Dina Konradsen and Jo Einar Jansen, blending traditional folk music with modern electronica. Inspired by folk dance, Helgeland fiddle tunes, and UK club culture, Konradsen and Jansen create a soundscape that bridges past and present.

With: Aasta Nielsen, Einar Tveito, Lars Tvinde, Johanne Bruhn

Performing live: Dina Konradsen and Jo Einar Tobias Sterten Jansen (fiddle, guitar, vocals)

Presented in partnership with Tromsø Silent Film Days with support from Talent Norge and Samfunnsløftet.
