‘A Human Position’s’ Anders Emblem Reunites with Amalie Ibsen Jensen for Haugesund-Bound  ‘Also a Life’ (EXCLUSIVE)


The Norwegian pic ‘Also a Life’ produced by talent hub Stær Film will be pitched at the Nordic Co-Production Market in Haugesund Aug. 21.

Rising Norwegian writer-director Anders Emblem whose “A Human Position” bowed at the Tromsø, Rotterdam and San Sebastian festivals in 2022 before landing a global deal with Mubi, has teamed up again with up-and-coming actor Amalie Ibsen Jensen for his third pic, “Also a Life.” The Norwegian feature in development to be pitched at the Nordic Co-Production Market Aug. 21, in Haugesund, Norway, is being produced by the talent-driven Elisa Fernanda Pirir (Stær Film), associated to award-winning international helmers including Luis Alejandro Yero (“Calls from Moscow”), Laura Mora (“The Kings of the World”), Nabil Ayouch (“ Everybody Loves Touda”), and Ernst de Geer (“The Hypnosis”). The Guatemala-born Norwegian producer said she first set eyes on Emblem’s work when his sophomore pic “A Human Position” (billed by ‘The Guardian’ reviewer Peter Bradshaw as an “elegant, beautifully-framed drama with Murakami-esque cat cameos”) opened the Tromsø International Film Festival 2022.
