FILM OverOslo - EN NASJON I SJAKK - Eksklusiv førpremiere

Blockbuster director John Andreas Andersen has brought together an all-star cast for the film adaptation of Johan Høst’s bestselling crime novel En nasjon i sjakk (2022). Pål Sverre Hagen, Tobias Santelmann and Maria Bonnevie take on the leading roles in this gripping drama, where the Prime Minister’s life depends on a game of chess. Exclusive Norwegian premiere! From Wednesday, August 26 to Sunday, August 30, we’re creating a brand-new experience at one of Norway’s most spectacular festival venues: Welcome to OverOslo Outdoor Cinema! For the very first time, the festival’s main stage will be replaced by a giant cinema screen, with seating for everyone in the grandstand and amphitheatre – and the night sky as our ceiling. Films start at 9:15 PM every evening. And what a programme! We’re presenting no fewer than two exclusive Norwegian premieres: the action thriller En nasjon i sjakk, based on the bestselling novel of the same name, and Suser avgårde, a true feel-good story set in Oslo and inspired by the lyrical universe of deLillos. Add to that a 25th-anniversary screening of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, featuring 12 minutes of additional footage, plus Interstellar, and you have a star-studded programme across four late-summer evenings. Under the stars. On top of Oslo.
