Filming in Southern Norway

Southern Norway is known for softer landscapes, long coastlines and distinctive summer light. The region offers sandy beaches, smooth rock formations, sheltered archipelagos and white wooden towns, complemented by inland forests, lakes and open countryside. Historic coastal towns and maritime environments provide recognisable Scandinavian settings, while Kristiansand supports urban filming locations.

The Southern Norway Film Centre is the regional film centre for the southern region, while the Zefyr Media Fund provides both funding and investment support. Strong infrastructure, regional airports, experienced crews, hotels and restaurants make Southern Norway a practical and versatile location for Norwegian film productions, coastal filming, and summer landscape projects.
