About Our Special Guests
"Grete and Odd Hynnekleiv are highly respected filmmakers in Norway. Grete's films are beloved in Norway and feature the courage of children who are at risk.
Odd's career has been in cinematography, and his eye for detail is inspiring. Both of them possess a keen sense of critical judgment. But personally, I am really
honored to call them my friends, and I am so excited to introduce them to the Â鶹ÊÓƵ University student filmmaking community."
