In 2008 Ulrik Imtiaz Rolfsen directed the Norwegian movie "The Last Joint Venture" ("Den Siste Revejakta)," based on Ingvar Ambjørnsen’s cult novel of the same name. The movie, set in 1979, is a comedy/drama portraying two friends in Oslo who fight hard drugs, while dealing weed - trying to remain hippies as the 80's comes charging.

In 2007 Ulrik Imtiaz Rolfsen helmed "Varg Veum - Bitter Flowers (Bitre Blomster)," a Norwegian crime thriller that was released theatrically in Norway in August 2007. It is the first in a series of twelve films about the private detective Varg Veum financed by German TV station ARD Degeto, based on the books by Gunnar Staalesen. Portrying Varg Veum was actor Trond Espen Seim. Rolfsen produced and directed the documentary "Voluntarily Forced" (2014). In it Rolfsen studies the collision between Norwegian, promiscuous, liberal culture versus traditional Pakistani clan culture practicing arranged and forced marriages, and the documentary caused a nationwide discussion. Rolfsen has earlier made a number of commercials and music videos. On June 8, 2015, while producing and directing "Recruiting For Jihad", a documentary about Norwegian radicalized Islamists, Norwegian Police Security Service (PST) raided Rolfsen's house and seized 8 hours of raw documentary footage without a court warrant. Several Norwegian press associations reacted, claiming protection of journalistic sources. Supported by The Association of Norwegian Editors, Rolfsen challenged the PST, but lost in two lower levels of the Norwegian judicial system, before winning the case in The Supreme Court of Norway in November 2015. On April 4, 2016 this verdict was awarded the Columbia Global Freedom of Expression Prize in 2015.
