‘Fallen Leaves,’ ‘Sex,’ ‘Crossing’ Among Six Films Selected to Compete for Nordic Council Film Prize
‘Fallen Leaves,’ ‘Sex,’ ‘Crossing,’ ‘The Son and the Moon,’ ‘Twice Colonized’ and ‘Touch’ selected to compete for Nordic Council Film Prize.
‘Twice Colonized’ is a collaboration between Inuit in both Greenland and Canada, and this nomination is an opportunity to show that our people exist far beyond the colonial borders of the Nordic nation-states. So, too, was Norway’s “Sex.” Directed and written by Dag Johan Haugerud – and the first part of a trilogy that will continue with “Love” – it’s produced by Yngve Sæther and Hege Hauff Hvattum for Motlys. Finland’s living legend Aki Kaurismäki – who won the very first Nordic Council Film Prize back in 2002 for “The Man Without a Past” – will now have another shot thanks to “Fallen Leaves,” produced by Misha Jaari and Mark Lwoff for Sputnik Oy and Bufo.
