Norwegian Film Institute taps Nagra’s DVnor for multiple-languages

The Norwegian Film Institute (NFI) is expanding its work with TV technology outfit Nagra by using its DVnor media asset management service to deliver content preparation and post-production services for the 2021-2022 Norwegian Film Collection supported by the Norway Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The 2021-2022 Norwegian Film Collection is a collection of DVDs and Blu-rays with recently released Norwegian feature films, short films, documentaries and drama series for Norwegian missions to lend out to EU film festivals and other local, non-commercial film events. DVnor enables the films in the collection to be subtitled and distributed in eleven languages across multiple regions to boost the possibility of increased revenue, according to Nagra.

“With our continued relationship with Nagra we are able to leverage the DVnor solution to seamlessly deliver packages to film festivals and audiences across the globe providing the opportunity to promote Norwegian Films without limitations, DVnor’s proven and comprehensive capabilities combined with Nagra’s significant experience in the content management and distribution space makes them the obvious and trusted choice to deliver the highest quality output with unsurpassed service. The collaboration with the DVnor team has been extremely beneficial and will continue to deliver for years to come” said Dag Asbjørnsen, the Norwegian Film Institute’s Head of Section International Relations.

“With our ability to handle and deliver films and TV content in multiple languages, we enable our customers to aim for broader territorial reach, increasing their ability to monetize content. DVnor’s post-production capabilities, combined with our straight-forward content management platform, enables content creators to tell their stories to a wide and distributed audience. We are proud to be a part of this project delivering this high-quality localized content for the Norwegian Ministry of External Affairs to a global audience,” said Tom Jahr, general manager, Nagra DVnor.
