Based on existing research, analyses and expert knowledge, the project’s network of leading Nordic filmmakers will develop concrete guidelines to ensure that Nordic films portray young LGBTI characters in a nuanced, realistic and holistic way that is in line with the reality of Nordic youth.

The network’s acquired knowledge will be published in a final conference report.

Physical seminars will provide space for deeper discussions of the themes, professional discussions and socialising that will strengthen the members’ relationships also after the project period. The host country, with the assistance of the project managers, will organise the content of the seminars and may invite external experts to shed light on specific topics as needed. The host country can also present angles where it has excelled positively or negatively in relation to the project’s theme and can therefore be relevant to the work on the final recommendations.

The project will conclude with a one-day conference in November 2025, to which the film and TV industry and interest organisations focusing on youth, gender and sexuality will be invited. At the conference, the network will present their underlying considerations, work process and conclusions. Their presentations will be supported by contributions from external experts and panel discussions. A deliberately low conference fee means that students, NGOs and new independent screenwriters and producers can also attend. The conference report, final guidelines and distribution overview will be published no later than one month after the conference and anchored with a wide range of actors in the field, where they will be easily accessible to anyone considering having young LGBTI representation in a production.
