Producer Thomas Robsham and writer Eskil Vogt will also be partners in the new company, part of the group of Film Farms.
Norwegian director Joachim Trier, producer Thomas Robsahm and screenwriter Eskil Vogt are starting a new production company within Oslo-based Film Farms’ new corporate group.
The new production company, as yet untitled, will produce Trier’s future films, ending his three-film run with Motlys (where Robsahm was a producer).
It marks an amicable end to their work at Motlys, most recently with Thelma (pictured). With Trier considering several projects in both English and Norwegian as his next film, Robsahm said the time was right to set up their own shop. “We thought this was the best way to move forward,” he told Screen.
Trier could shoot his next film in 2019.
Vogt, whose directing credits include 2014’s Blind, will continue to work on his own directorial projects as well as writing with Trier.

The Dutch director will helm the $7.7m World War II epic.
Harald Zwart, director of The Mortal Instruments, will return to Norway to direct 12th Man (Den 12. Mann), a $7.7m World War II epic.

Cph:dox has broken its own audience record for the 12th consecutive year.
This year’s tally was 83,900 visitors, up 20% from 70,100 last year. Of those, 3,586 were online views.
There were 1,356 delegate industry visitors.
Tine Fischer, festival director at Cph:dox, said: “Cph:dox has both audience- and industry-wise experienced an outstanding year. We are extremely happy, but hands down the most important thing that has happened this year without comparison, is that the festival has really taken the documentary into an active social and political space with its new project Megatrends. The project is not limited to journalistic criticism and analysis, but puts more focus on how we can get an active dialogue going on some of the most important global issues and challenges. The interaction, innovation and strengthening of an active democratic dialogue have been the objectives and we think it has had a flying start. The project is intended as a recurring initiative and we are looking forward...

Norwegian festival will open with Beatles; record number of works-in-progress; 350 delegates for New Nordic Films.
This year’s 42nd Norwegian International Film Festival Haugesund (Aug 16 – 22) will open with a film that is receiving plenty of local attention.
Danish director Peter Flinth’s Beatles is adapted from one of Norway’s most popular coming-of-age novels.
Scripted by Axel Hellstenius, it follows four Oslo boys in their adolescent and early adult years between 1965-1972.
“True friendship endures all, and no band in the world is better than The Beatles,” concludes the film which will have its world premiere in Haugesund and stars Halvor Tangen Schultz, Jonathan Chedeville, Louis Williams and Håvard Jackwitz.
“It was like climbing a mountain, starting with getting the rights to The Beatles’ music,” said Norwegian producer Jørgen Storm Rosenberg about his new film.
The opener is a fitting send off for festival director Gunnar Johan Løvvik, who will step down after having run the event...
