Not that kind of guy is a groundbreaking film about party-related sexual assault, told through conversations with three young men convicted of rape, and the director, who herself has reported a party-related assault.

This film raises key questions surrounding identity, denial and responsibility. It asks: how do you live on, when you have been convicted of something many people consider an unforgivable act?

The frank exchanges in «Not that kind of guy» can be challenging, but are also somehow redemptive. In this way, the film can help others open up important conversations about a difficult subject. The film can be used to for education and training in schools, workplaces, organizations and local communities, to cover not only sexual assault, and topics like boundaries, consent and communication, but also issues like:

• Health, trauma, alcohol abuse, shame
• Criminology, the legal system, policing, imprisonment
• Gender equality

What is party related rape?

Party-related rape usually occurs between young people of the same age who know each other from before, and alcohol or other drugs are usually involved. Young people need knowledge about what rape is and about setting boundaries, intoxication and sexuality.

The Norwegian National Criminal Investigation Service (Kripos), in their annual report on the rape situation in Norway, shows that party-related rapes made up the largest proportion of reported assaults in 2019: 43%. Statistics from Statistics Norway show that 98 per cent of those accused in such cases are men, and the majority are under 30 years old. Although party-related rape most often occurs among young people, it can have wide ranging ramifications, affecting family members, friends, classmates, employers.
