NORDIC LIGHTS is the union of three emerging audiovisual festivals on a mission to explore culture synergies through experimental collaboration. It is time to build new pan-nordic friendships and bridges!

Through an open call with 119 submissions, 12 artists were selected and paired into 6 new AV acts. Secure your ticket to one or more of the festivals to experience the results!

About NORDIC LIGHTS

The creative spark of life shines when new ground is broken and sight beyond ones horizon is given. In those moments we become extra-ordinary!

As culture and neighbour-humbleness pays a massive toll from two years of lockdowns, the need to bring people together is greater than ever; to inspire and to grow as artists as well as a community.

Those of us who feel most alive bathing in sound and light phenomenon believe that these experiences can highlight important questions internally as well as externally, and through this open call we invite you to join as a creator (nordic residents only) of such moments. If selected, you will be paired with another artist, and be given the support and resources required to create a new audiovisual performance at one of the three hosting festivals!
