MIRAGE

08/05/2026

📽️Call for applications! Introducing MIRAGE Galleri — a moving digital exhibition and open call for artists working with the art and language of cinema. An invitation into an artist’s world, process, and way of seeing.

A selected artist will present an evolving series across MIRAGE’s social media platforms. The gallery roams through fragments, textures, still and moving images, archival footage, and observations unfolding over time.

The initiative offers artists visibility within an engaged community of cinephiles, filmmakers, artists, musicians, and culturally curious audiences connected through a shared love of cinema and the human experience.

We welcome applications from emerging and established artists whose work resonates with the spirit of MIRAGE. Send inquiries to [email protected].

Featured now: a gallery exploring the art and craft of filmmaking through archival footage. This series rediscovers everyday gems found in analog home road-trip films — glimpses of the Mirage on the horizon.

UTEKINOEN AVLYST

Dessverre må vi avlyse utekinoen i kveld på grunn av værforholdene.

Fredag den 13. leverer dessverre varene litt for godt i kveld. Med kraftig vind og regn i kombinasjon blir det ikke helt ideelle forhold for utekino.

Stemningen er riktignok perfekt for en mørk og dunkel fredag den 13, men kanskje best opplevd inne, ikke under et vått pledd foran et lerret ute.

Vi håper å kunne gjøre det igjen under litt mer vennlige værforhold.

OUTDOOR CINEMA CANCELLED

Unfortunately, we have to cancel tonight’s outdoor cinema due to the weather conditions.
Friday the 13th certainly delivers a spooky atmosphere, perfect for a dark evening, but not quite for an outdoor screening.

We hope to do it again under more friendly weather conditions.

Béla Tarr, the ultimate auteurist’s auteur, dies at 70.

Béla Tarr's career can be divided into two phases: The early films with a stronger social orientation (such as the Family Nest trilogy), and the later, more metaphysical works (such as Sátántangó and Werckmeister Harmonies), pointing to an evolution toward a purer exploration of time, and to Tarr's own mind and hear, and about his career, he says:

“At the beginning of my career, I had a lot of social anger. I just wanted to tell you how fu..ed up the society is. This was the beginning. Afterwards, I began to understand that the problems were not only social; they are deeper. I thought they were only ontological. It's so, so complicated, and when I understood more and more, when I went closer to the people... afterward, I could understand that the problems were not only ontological. They were cosmic. The whole fu..ed up world is over».
