The festival, which screens new Nordic short and feature films, takes place at Scandinavia House October 28-30, 2016. All NIFF programs are free and open to the public.

The director, Jan Vardøen, and three of the leading actors, Ingeborg Raustøl, Helge Jordal, and Hege Schøyen will be in attendance.

NYC Premiere—Autumn Fall is a dramatic comedy set in beautiful Oslo. Ingvild works as a lighting technician at the National Theatre, but dreams of writing for the stage. She can’t stand actors, however, she still manages to entangle herself with two thespians—Jeppe is a well-known hell raiser, getting on in years, and Hans is a promising young talent, albeit rather mild mannered. Ingvild embarks on an exciting, scandalous, and ultimately very dangerous journey that changes her life forever. Directed by Jan Vardøen (Norway, 2015).
