Bravehearts Say Don’t Be Scared of Eggality!
This year’s opening film is Bravehearts by Kari Anne Moe about four Norwegian students whose view on the world has changed after the Anders Breivik’s Utøya massacre. Originally, Kari Anne Moe wanted to make a documentary about the preparations for the student election campaign and catch why the diverse Norwegian society is considered to be the most cultivated democracy in the world. The Utøya tragedy that happened throughout the filming shifted the documentary and its topic closer to this year’s festival main theme. Reactions of the Norwegian society to the growing intolerance and extremisms as well as to the traumatic situation after the summer of 2011 are indeed inspiring.
