From Hjørundfjorden to US cinemas: Palme d'Or winner 'Fjord' is released in the US on October 9 by NEON. 🎬

Filmed in various villages in Hjørundfjorden, Western Norway, among the peaks of the Sunnmørsalpene where mountains rise 1,700 meters straight from the fjord.

'Fjord' directed by Cristian Mungiu stars Oscar-nominated actors Renate Reinsve and Sebastian Stan alongside Lisa Loven Kongsli, Ellen Dorrit Petersen and Henrikke Lund-Olsen. It tells the story of a Romanian-Norwegian family settling in a remote community, where questions of culture, faith, freedom and family life challenge both neighbours and institutions.

Swipe for insight from the Norwegian location professionals who worked on the film.

Some of Norway’s most striking terrain is found not only in mountains and fjords, but in the rock itself — shaped over millennia by ice, water, wind and geological forces into forms that can appear almost designed, sculptural or otherworldly. 🪨

Across the country, extraordinary details can be found: marble carved by glacial rivers into smooth channels, sea caves opening onto the ocean, giant’s kettles hollowed into solid rock, and formations weathered into improbable shapes.

For filmmakers, these locations offer distinctive textures, colours and natural forms — landscapes that can feel ancient, abstract, monumental or entirely unfamiliar.

Landscapes shaped by time: millions of years of geological forces have given Norway a landscape unlike anywhere else. 🏔️

Iconic silhouettes, sheer cliffs, steep exposed terrain and seemingly unreal rock formations create an immediate sense of scale and grandeur — and provide dramatic natural settings for the screen.

Out in the North Sea, Utsira feels a world away from the mainland. 🌊

Exposed rocky coastline, open horizons, a historic lighthouse and a small island community give Utsira a distinctive North Atlantic character.

The landscape shifts between rugged coastal rock, sheltered harbours and pockets of green, traditional buildings and maritime heritage. Despite its remote appearance, the island is connected by ferry to Haugesund on Norway’s west coast — a film location with more range than its size suggests.

Choose Norway's Arctic locations for their scale and authenticity. Major BBC crime drama ‘Vigil’ filmed parts of its third season in Svalbard, with Norwegian production partner Truewest on the ground. 🎬

The archipelago's dramatic ice formations and shifting polar light gave the production a setting no studio could replicate.

Rose Leslie, one of the stars, on filming there: "It was lunar, or what I imagine the moon would look like. I felt so fortunate to experience almost complete isolation on the mountain tops."

Svalbard continues to prove itself as a filming location that combines experienced local partners, accessible infrastructure and landscapes found nowhere else — even for productions working in some of the most extreme conditions on Earth. 🗻

The new Netflix drama 'The Secret Woman' was partly filmed in Western Norway, and includes several Norwegian actors in the cast.

An idyllic island fishing village on Tysnes and the dramatic landscape of Fyksesund in Hardangerfjord set the stage for this international production — two contrasting locations, from quiet coastal village to steep mountain fjord, showing the range Norway offers as a filming location.
