New York

Mandatory: Yes

Price: Included in course price

Duration: Litt over en uke

In winter/spring, we travel to New York City - a metropolis that has it all: art, film, education, museums, galleries, entertainment, theater, music, and more. We'll visit iconic locations such as Broadway, New York Film Academy, Brooklyn Bridge, Central Park, MoMA, American Museum of Natural History, Museum of Moving Images, Chelsea Market, Times Square, Highland Park, Chinatown, and beyond.

We stay centrally in quality hotels (for 23/24 and 24/25, we'll be at the 4-star Hyatt Place Times Square), typically near Times Square - just a 6-minute walk to Broadway. You're also welcome to suggest your preferences for activities during our trip. There's a healthy balance between obligatory activities and free-time so there will be plenty of time to do everything you want to!

Of course, we'll be making films during our stay as well.

Breakfast at the hotel is included in this trip, and we'll have 2-3 group dinners. Room groups will also receive funds to buy food, but you should set aside some personal money if you want to dine at various places with 2-3 other students outside of the scheduled meals. Additionally you do get some "self-chosen activities" that you will get some funding for.

School mountain cabin, Hovden - film

Mandatory: Yes

Price: Included in course price

Duration: 4-7 dager (2 ganger)

Once during autumn and during winter, we take trips to the school's cabin to make films, visit the water park, go skiing for those who want (both downhill and cross-country), and generally enjoy a cozy cabin atmosphere. The autumn trip involves a shorter production that lays the groundwork for our professional film shoot and serves in many ways as practice for the winter's high-profile project.

We also use the school's cabin as a base for cross-country skiing, alpine skiing, snow cave expeditions, and visits to Hovden water park. Hovden offers excellent cross-country ski trails and a large alpine ski resort. Cross-country skis, alpine skis, and snowboards can be rented at reasonable rates in Hovden if you don't bring your own from home. There is also the possibility to borrow some from something called "Bua" in Norway for a week's time. If you're not a skiing enthusiast, there's no pressure - there's plenty of enjoyment to be had at the cabin. Of course, there's also ample time for setting up and planning film shoots.

Mandatory: Yes

Price: Included in course price

The school is located in what we call the pearl of the southern archipelago. Out of the window you can see straight towards the port of Ny - Hellesund where Nordal Grieg wrote the song "Til ungdommen" in his time. This is where our first joint trip goes.. Accommodation in a tent, lavvo, hammock or on a sleeping pad under the open sky. Bathing, bonfire, play and seriousness. We enjoy the scents of late summer and look out to sea, where Denmark is almost visible on the horizon, and get to know each other in an unforgettable way. Friendships are made here.

The school's last joint trip goes to the same place. Summer is in the offing, and it's quite a different group that's on tour. Safe in each other, but melancholy has taken over from anticipation. A feeling that something will soon be over, along with the knowledge that something new is coming. This new thing, which will now be created together with the people you have around you, is no longer as frightening. This will be a trip filled with good memories and strong emotions.

Between these two trips there is a lot of time and space. There is much to be created. Our different classes go on their own trips and spend a lot of time together at school. But every now and then we do some joint trips. It can be to the Pulpit Rock, cinema, theatre, bowling, Zip-line, and it can be to Lindesnes lighthouse or Lista. The animal park is also a natural destination for the school when we are first in these parts.
