MIDPOINT Institute Partners with Göteborg Film Festival for the Nordic Gateway curated program!

We are thrilled to announce a new partnership with the Göteborg Film Festival as part of their exciting initiative, the Nordic Gateway, launching in 2025. This new section, introduced by the festival's renowned Nordic Film Market, aims to connect international feature film projects with Nordic partners, fostering opportunities for co-production, financing, and creative collaboration.

Among the five carefully selected projects in the inaugural Nordic Gateway lineup is GRAMMATIK, directed by Popo Fan and produced by Julia Cöllen (Fünferfilm), proudly presented in collaboration with the MIDPOINT Institute.

GRAMMATIK is a MIDPOINT Focus Queer and Feature Launch project written and directed by Popo Fan and produced by Julia Collen from Fünferfilm.

The Nordic Gateway is designed to spotlight high-potential projects in the financing stage, providing them with a platform to connect with Nordic producers, financiers, and sales agents. The curated lineup will be presented on January 30, 2025, followed by one-on-one meetings and culminating in the announcement of the winner of the Tint Post-Production Award—a prize valued at €35,000 and provided by Göteborg-based Tint Studio.

At MIDPOINT, we are delighted to be part of this collaborative journey. This partnership with Göteborg Film Festival reflects our shared commitment to empowering creators, facilitating meaningful connections, and bringing diverse, compelling stories to life.

We look forward to seeing GRAMMATIK and the other outstanding projects shine on this international stage. Congratulations to all the selected creators, and here’s to a fruitful and inspiring collaboration with Göteborg Film Festival!

The call for the next edition of MIDPOINT Focus Queer (previously Intensive Queer) is open till November 30, 2025! Check out the program here!
