What Flimmer Film does

Flimmer Film AS is a privately held Norwegian film production company founded in 2000, headquartered in Laksevåg (Bergen), Norway, operating with a headcount of 1-10 employees. The company produces documentary films and series, fiction productions (including short films, web series, and a feature film), music videos, and corporate films for Norwegian and international clients. Its core products include documentary series such as Norseman: Human Endurance, Kongo Mineraler, ICE. FLOOD. SILVER., and Vandreren, plus web series like Saving the Human Race and STD: Oddfjord. The company provides full in-house production services including editing, color grading, sound studio, photo studio, composition/animation, location scouting, and co-production partnership services.

The company's revenue model is project-based, generating income through one-time licensing fees for documentary and fiction productions commissioned by Norwegian broadcasters (NRK, TV2, VG TV), streaming platforms (CW Seed, AltiBox), and corporate clients in infrastructure and construction (Marti AS, SotraLink), supplemented by professional services fees for commercial/corporate film assignments. International revenue comes via co-production partnerships with US and Swedish production companies and international festival distribution. Pricing is quote-based depending on project scope, with multi-year contracts typical for larger commissions.

Founded and led by Christer Fasmer, who serves as Producer, Director, and Director of Photography, Flimmer Film AS has secured national recognition including the 2006 Gullruten Award for Best Documentary, plus extensive 2026-2027 international festival awards. The company operates as a founder-led creative studio with no institutional investment, no parent company, and no subsidiaries, making it a tightly-held creative business dependent on a single key principal and a concentrated base of repeat commissioning clients in the Norwegian broadcasting and infrastructure sectors.
