              Open Call

              Sille Storihle / Norway / 2025 / World Premiere / 103 min

              A witty satire on public art and culture, as the citizens of Oslo are invited to celebrate the city’s 400th anniversary. Things don’t quite go according to plan.

              Only at the end of ‘Open Call’ do you realize what kind of film you’ve just watched. It all starts with Oslo’s 400th birthday. To celebrate it, the municipality commissions an artist to create a work of art in the middle of the city.

              In true democratic spirit, the citizens are invited to be involved, and a select group of Oslo’s inhabitants start to develop proposals for a new artwork. But just because people live in the same city, doesn’t mean they have the same taste. The artist is caught in the middle, trying to satisfy the municipal bureaucracy and a divided group of citizens. 

              ‘Open Call’ is a satire on art in public space, bureaucracy, coaching and citizen involvement. The result is a tragicomic (and very funny) dystopia about the well-intentioned processes of the welfare state – and a film that only lays its cards on the table at the end.
