U – July 22 (Norwegian: Utøya 22. juli) is a 2018 Norwegian drama film directed by Erik Poppe. It is a re-enactment of the Utøya summer camp massacre that took place on 22 July 2011, shot in one single take in real time. The film is based on historical events, but the characters are fictional. The purpose is to promote understanding of the victims of this cruel disaster, as seen from their side. The terrorist is only a scary figure in the periphery. The film was selected to compete for the Golden Bear in the main competition section at the 68th Berlin International Film Festival.
