Biography
Ole Giæver is a Saami film director, screenwriter, and actor from Norway. Born July 19, 1977, in Tromsø, he trained at the Nordland Art and Film College in Lofoten and Konstfack in Stockholm. His directorial debut, The Mountain, arrived in 2011, establishing his voice in Nordic cinema. His second feature, Out of Nature, marked a shift: Giæver not only directed but also starred in the lead role, earning the Kanon Award for Best Actor in 2015. A third feature, From the Balcony, was in development. As a screenwriter and actor rooted in Norwegian cinema, Giæver works across multiple roles within the same projects, blurring the line between behind-and-front-of-camera storytelling. His Life Path number 5 suggests a restless creative energy—a pattern visible in his willingness to perform and direct simultaneously. Cancer-born artists often channel emotional specificity into their work; Giæver's films tend toward intimate, character-driven narratives set against stark natural backdrops.
