The Master’s students at Visual Cultural Studies have made films in Tromsø during the last two decades. The six films screened, give glimpses into different milieus of a diverse city. We enter inside Føhn barbershop at Stortorget, Miljøbutikken/Remiks at the northern tip of the island and Arctic Tattoo in Bankgata. We get to meet Ryddeguttan that keep the Tromsø center nice and clean, a group of people practising Qi Gong at Langnes, and we are introduced to a Cameroonian’s first impressions of Tromsø.
Free entrance.
