Docs from Norway

Astra Film 2017 brings three documentaries made in Norway covering each in its own distinctive way current issues which have been and still are topics of public debate.

69 Minutes of 86 Days is a poetic documentary that looks at the refugee crisis through the eyes of a three-year old girl who flees accross Europe together with her family.

The Man Who Knew 75 Languages is the emotional story of a linguistic genius, his love for languages and for Elisabeth, Queen of Romania, and above all about his endeavour to convince the world that people's mother tongue is an essential part of their identity.

Over-consumption is tacked in the documentary Expired, an experiment made by four friends who cover Norway from North to South on bike and the only food they eat during this exhausting physical trial is made of produce they find in the supermarkets' waste containers, labelled  as ''expired''.
