When Oslo rapper Arif played at Castle Fjells main stage Saturday at 18:00, rolled scenes from porn movies behind him. Several children were present in the audience, and “performing arts” created reactions.

– Pornography that was displayed under Arif’s concert is a clear violation of these sections of the Criminal Code. It is a form of sexual harassment of those who were present during the performance. We had members who were there, who thought this was just over, says head of Ottar in Oslo, Katarina Storalm Dagbladet.

Reviewer artist and organizer

Storalm confirms for Dagbladet that Slottsfjell- festival is also reviewed for the gig.

– Arif can do this anywhere, but we have reviewed the festival Christoffer Roed, who is responsible for the arrangement and should have an overview of what their paying customers postponed for, she said.

– I’ve been Slottsfjellfestivalen before and enjoyed it, but I doubt that I go back again if this is the profile they wish to have, she adds.

– Sorry

Press Officer for Slottsfjellfestivalen, Siri Narverud Moen says that the film was shown without consulting the festival in advance. The states on its website that after eight o’clock the festival is reserved for adults, but Arif played at an earlier time when children were still present.

– Nudity in itself, we are not afraid to show off, but had we have been aware of the term in this video so we might have found a solution to it by letting him play later in the evening when there were children present, Moen says.

Hope Ottar looks context

Moen says that the festival does not actively approve all artists will perform or show off on one of their scenes.

– In this context, we must deal with if there are laws that have been broken or not. It can not we decide, Moen says.

She hopes that Ottar watching the film in the context of the song that accompanied, “Gal,” but says that she understands the film may be too much for some .

– I think few would say that this represents the profile of Slottsfjell, she points out.

– Artistic freedom

Saturday commented Arif’s manager, Ali Wali, following Dagbladet:

– If you heard the song that was played at the same time, so had one though context. Arif must have full artistic freedom when he holds concerts, but we regret course for those who have felt offended by this.
