Ramaskrik Film Festival has an excellent partnership with The Cultural Schoolbag in Oppdal. We screen genre films for students, not necessarily horror films, but exciting and adventurous fantastic movies that help young audiences discover outstanding cinema experiences. These screenings are presented within a broader educational framework, often with one of the filmmakers in attendance.

These screenings are closed events and are only open to students and teachers from the schools in Oppdal.

This year’s Ramaskrik school cinema event for lower secondary school students is Troll Hunter (Trolljegeren). We are delighted to welcome the film’s cinematographer, Hallvard Bræin, who will introduce the film and take part in a Q&A session with the students after the screening.

About the Film:

Three media students from Volda—Thomas Schøien, Johanna Pedersen, and Kalle Stensvik—are tasked with creating a documentary about a local personality. They decide to focus on a mysterious, reclusive man who occasionally appears in their town. At first, all they know is that his name is Hans, and they suspect him of being an illegal bear hunter. But they soon discover that Hans is far from a poacher—he has a far more dangerous and extraordinary profession.

When Troll Hunter premiered in 2010, it exploded onto the scene like nothing Norway had ever seen. The film captivated audiences worldwide, earning international acclaim and winning awards at film festivals across the globe.
