About us

Oslo Dokumentarkino – www.dokumentarkino.no/

Oslo Dokumentarkino (The Oslo Documentary Cinema) is a live event initiative aiming to stimulate people to
meet and join in political and social discussions sparked off by documentary films.

We meet on a roughly weekly basis in Parkteatret, sometimes at Vika Kino, in Oslo, as well as at adhoc events
in other settings and places. Many events include experts from academic, political and lobby organisations in Norway,
but all events are open for public involvement.
