Filmens hus is a central player in the cinema industry in Norway, and functions as a platform for Film & Kino, the association that represents the industry. The organization organizes seminars aimed at new players, with a focus on how cinemas can adapt to the competition from streaming services. In addition to the seminars, they present Kinotoppen, which shows the most popular films in the country, and they are involved in the development of future cinema experiences.
Filmens hus is also known for its annual film festival in Haugesund, which has set visitor records several times. During the festival, prizes are awarded for the best cinema programs and horror films, which helps to promote quality and innovation in film experiences. In addition to the festival, they discuss cult films and their importance in film seminars, giving a deeper understanding of the role of film in society.
As part of the National Film Institute, Filmens hus has two modern screens showing both Norwegian and international films, thus offering a varied film offer to the public.
