Festival in Review 2023

We were delighted to welcome over 900 accredited guests to Malmö, as well as a growing local audience who joined us not just in the cinemas but also in our festival centre at Panora and at concerts and performances around the city. With sold out screenings, crowded seminars and industry events, and a side programme which drew audiences all over town, it’s clear that the festival continues to be an important meeting point for filmmakers and film lovers on a local and regional level.

64 films were shown in competition and a new addition to our award categories was the first-ever Nordic Documentary Producer Award, in which each Nordic directors’ guild nominated an outstanding producer from their country. This year we also celebrated the festival’s 10th anniversary in Malmö with a bird’s eye view of the city we have fondly grown to call home. With a performance in the 54th floor of the iconic Turning Torso and the inauguration of our elevator pitch concept in the Scandic Triangeln elevator, in 2023 Nordisk Panorama shot up and into some of the tallest buildings the city has to offer.
