Yvonne Fritze Associate Professor, Lillehammer University College yvonne.fritze@hil.no Geir Haugsbakk Associate Professor, Lillehammer University College geir.haugsbakk@hil.no English abstract The subject of this article is the films nominated for the Amandus Festival after the turn of the century. It examines how young people present themselves in today’s society and how this relates to distinctive trends in societal development. Our analysis builds on an interpretation of contemporary society as hypercomplex and characterised by choice and uncertainty, calling for a reflexive approach. This is what we have looked for in the films. Films of this kind thematise the way young people relate to this complexity and have a creative and conscious relation to genres, and are thus an expression of the voice of youth.
