Filmbib

Filmbib is a distribution portal for Norwegian short films and documentaries, administered by the Norwegian Film Institute on behalf of the Ministry of Culture. It gives the Norwegian public free access to a curated selection of Norwegian shorts and documentaries through their local library — users sign in with their national library card number and PIN to browse and stream content.
