Danish director Peter Flinth’s Beatles is adapted from one of Norway’s most popular coming-of-age novels.
Scripted by Axel Hellstenius, it follows four Oslo boys in their adolescent and early adult years between 1965-1972.

“It was like climbing a mountain, starting with getting the rights to The Beatles’ music,” said Norwegian producer Jørgen Storm Rosenberg about his new film.
The opener is a fitting send off for festival director Gunnar Johan Løvvik, who will step down after having run the event...
