Oslofilm: Oslo: Byen med de grønne grenser

We follow the green city boundary from Ljan on the east side of the Oslofjord, up through Østmarka, Nordmarka and back down to the fjord. On the road we meet people and animals, railways, farms, agriculture and forestry. ***** Oslofilm was a series of public information films about life in and around Oslo, produced between 1940 and 1980. Funded by the state, the films offer valuable insight into postwar Norwegian society. A wide range of Norwegian filmmakers contributed to the productions, resulting in a rich variety of styles and expressions. Several of the films also possess notable cinematic qualities, standing out as more than just informational material. The Oslofilms represent a unique and important chapter in Norwegian film history.
