Normans on the Move

An international short film project for aspiring filmmakers, exploring the legacy of Norman migration as part of MILLENIUM 2027 – European Year of the Normans.

Normans on the Move is an international film project forming part of MILLENIUM 2027 – European Year of the Normans, exploring the stories that connect Europe. Bringing together aspiring filmmakers, the initiative explores the legacy of Norman migration through documentary, fiction and experimental short films.

Guided by French and local film professionals, participants collaborate in intensive 72-hour workshops, using cinema to uncover stories of cultural exchange, movement and shared heritage.

The project also encourages cross-border collaboration, with filmmakers travelling between partner countries before coming together for a final creative workshop at the Off-Courts Festival in Trouville-sur-Mer, France.

It suits those with a passion for film, an interest in European history or a curiosity about fresh creative perspectives on the Norman world, celebrating storytelling, collaboration and the connections that continue to link Jersey with its European neighbours.
