Nordic Ministers on Music

It was not only the first time the Nordic Ministers met to discuss pop, rock and the creative industry.

It was actually the first time ever such a minister meeting was held in the world, when by:Larm invited both nordic and international delegates to it’s 15 years anniversary this February.

If was also the first official visit abroad for the brand new Minister for Culture in Denmark, Uffe Elbæk. You’re very welcome.

Together with Trond Giske, Minister for Trade and Industry in Norway, and Ewa Björling, Minister for Trade in Sweeden, we learned that in economic downfalls like what we’re now experiencing – the creative industry actually manages well.

Good thing we were there to document it for you all.

Again, the discussion is in Nordic languages, and until we’ve found a willing soul to translate our videos, you would be better of learning one of the Nordic languages.

Best wishes!

by:Larm 2012 opening

We’ve been working with our friends at by:Larm to produce a web-series of the seminar program.

First out is the opning seremony of by:Larm 2012, with the Norwegian Minister of Culture, Anniken Huitfeldt.
We’re proud to see her later during the festival at the small rock club Mono, to see the notoriously angry shoegazers Iceage.

Unfortunately, this first video is only avaliable in Norwegian at this moment. Maybe a willing soul will help with translation?

Voice of Burma

We are currently working with Alligator Film on the brand new documentary film “Voice of Burma”.

The director Turid Rogne and her team has made a remarkable effort in creating a smooth and silent documentary portrait on the evolution of the illegal broadcaster The Democratic Voice of Burma (DVB), without ever loosing the intensity and importance of their struggle:
A free and democratic Burma.

With rich achive footage from inside Burma, Thailand and Norway, this has become an insightful documentary on media activists strategy against one of the worlds most brutal dictatorship.

It is emotional and inspiring as it follows the student activists from 1988 until the recent developments with the release of Aung San Suu Kyi, and their hopes and way forward after this.
