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 middle school students is Operation Arctic (Operasjon Arktis). We are delighted to welcome the film’s director, Grethe Bøe, who will introduce the film and take part in a Q&A session with the students after the screening.

About the Film:

Due to a terrible misunderstanding, 13-year-old Julia and her 8-year-old twin siblings, Ida and Sindre, find themselves stranded on the desolate Half Moon Island in the Arctic Ocean near Svalbard. Far from the mainland, they must fight for survival against winter storms, wild animals, and the challenge of finding enough food. Operation Arctic (Operasjon Arktis) was a major success in Norwegian cinemas, attracting 270,000 admissions in 2014. The film is directed by Grethe Bøe and produced, among others, by John M. Jacobsen, who also produced films such as Trollhunter (Trolljegeren, 2009).

Together, they have brought audiences several successful genre films for children, including the Detective No. 2 series -Operasjon Mørkemann (2018) and Operasjon Mumie (2019). Grethe Bøe also directed the children's horror film The Ten Lives of Titanic the Cat (Titanics ti liv, 2007), which we screened in collaboration with the podcast Norsk kultfilm in 2025.

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.
