Dir. Elisabeth Kleppe, Henrik Hylland Uhlving, Elin Sander | Norway, 2026 | 75 min
Blending a century of archive footage with the voices of storytellers, Seasiders follows the Norwegian coast and its people through different eras, memories and experiences. These people live at the mercy of the unruly weather and sea, far from the centers of power, and facing the open horizon and the world beyond. How has this affected their disposition, sense of community and way of life? Do the people of the sea have their own distinct identity, and is it still alive today?
Garnering the Launch of the Year title at the 2026 Norwegian International Film Festival, Seasiders is a humorous, epic and unsentimental love letter to these Norwegian coast dwellers, with an abundant depiction of a culture that anchors many, and concerns everyone.
