The Norwegian Film School was founded by an act of the Norwegian Parliament, and opened in 1997 as a faculty at Lillehammer University College (LUC).
The Norwegian Film School (NFS) offers both bachelor and master education in filmmaking. Education at Norwegian Film School is financed by the state and free of charge for students.
The School maintains a strong and dynamic relationship with the professional film industry in Norway and beyond, with both the full-time teaching staff as well as guest instructors coming from active careers in the Norwegian and international film industries.
