Hydroparken Filmpark
WIth Norway Communicates AS as the parent company, Telemark Film and the Wild Telemark work with production companies and related film projects.
With this organizational structure we are able to focus internationally and nationally - but at the same time work with the county of Vestfold and Telemark from our regionally headquarters in Notodden.
Find us here in Hydropark
Hydropark is located by Lake Heddal in Notodden, Norway. This was the site of one birthplace of the 2nd Industrial Revolution, with Norsk Hydro factories powered by clean hydroelectric energy.
Now, the Hydropark complex is the headquarters for the Wild Telemark and Telemark Film.
Our future plans include development of a full-fledged film studio, building upon the Wild Telemark as a region that featured some of the most spectacular locations to be found anywhere.
We are prepared for you
We are prepared for your film project, large or small.
With a ’can-do’ mentality, unique and accessible locations, and an infrastructure that is flexible and strong, we look forward to helping you create your unique film production.
The complex also provides different location possibilities for film.

First-ever UNESCO
Interactive E-Book
We have recently launched the world’s first interactive e-book that presents a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
And what a story it is!
Rjukan-Notodden Industrial Heritage Site
The world was coming to a crossroads, and many were concerned. As the world population began to boom during the course of the 1800s, the scientific question began to circulate – how long would the world population survive on current food supply production?
To answer that challenge, it was just over a century ago in Norway that a major transformation took place. During the course of just a short decade, power plants, factories, transport systems and company towns were created. The urgent and immediate goal - producing enough mineral fertiliser to increase world food production.
