Filming in Oslo combines modern cityscapes with nearby natural landscapes. The capital features contemporary architecture, striking waterfront developments, historic districts and suburban neighbourhoods, while lakes, forests and fjords lie just outside the city, offering immediate access to diverse filming locations. Productions such as Tenet, The Snowman and Netflix’s Detective Hole have filmed in Oslo.

The Oslo Film Commission provides production guidance, while Viken Film Centre and Oslo Film Fund offer financing, with Oslo Film Fund providing investment support. With an international airport, studios, post-production facilities, experienced crews, hotels and restaurants, Oslo is a practical and flexible location for urban and nature-based Norwegian film productions.
