Christmas In Norway - A Documentary Exploring Norwegian Christmas Traditions, Food and Culture

Christmas in Norway is a documentary where we explore the trinity of Norwegian Christmas traditions, Norwegian food and Norwegian culture. Set in Drammen and Oslo, we also examine daily life in Norway during the Winter season.

We begin with Julebakst (Christmas Baking) and go shopping with my Norwegian in-laws for food and decorations. Next, we take a walk around Oslo and visit the famous Christmas Market: Jul i Vinterland. In the third section, we try iconic Norwegian Christmas food such as Lutefisk (Lye Fish), Ribbe (Roast Pork Belly) and Akevitt (Potato Liquor).

In the fourth section, it's Christmas Eve - we dive into the Pagan rituals of Yule that evolved into Christmas and feast on Norwegian Christmas Food including Ribbe (Roast Pork Belly), Pinnekjott (Cured Lamb) and Turkey (Kalkun). In the final section we examine Romjul, New Year’s Eve and what Norwegians do for fun, including Football and Skiing in Norway. We end the documentary by going out to a bar and discussing drinking culture and watch the midnight fireworks in Drammen.

VALKYRIE VOYAGES
Mixing documentary and vlog styles, Valkyrie Voyages is a cinematic travel vlog that pays homage to anime, manga, video games and all things Japanese. It’s presented by my Norwegian-Indian wife Piku with narration by myself (Pammi), a British-Indian videographer. From 2016 onwards, we divided our time together in Norway and the UK. During that time, I documented Norwegian culture, Norwegian food and everyday life in Norway.
