our story
The Nordlys Film & Arts Festival takes place at the historic Bailey Theatre in Camrose, Alberta. Nordlys, which means "northern lights" in Norwegian, casts its cinematic glow over the dark prairie winter.
The festival presents an eclectic blend of films from Canada and around the world as well as the opportunity to engage with special guests. Since 2010, Nordlys has screened award-winning films from over 30 countries.
a grassroots festival
Throughout the weekend, talented local performers provide musical interludes in our licensed theatre.
Nordlys is entirely run by a passionate team of volunteers and supported by a growing list of generous community sponsors.
We look forward to you joining us to experience this unique celebration of cinema and community.
