‘The Golden Swan’ Director on Bringing to Screen Her Brother’s ‘Journey From Hate to Reconciliation’ Before Murder by Terrorists
Anette Ostro’s “The Golden Swan” tells the story of her brother, a Norwegian actor who was abducted and murdered by a terrorist group in Kashmir.
Blending photographs, home videos shot by friends and family, news reports and original sound recordings of the hostages, “The Golden Swan” also includes footage of Hans Christian during a dance course in Kerala, before he set off on a tour of India which took him to Kashmir. “The Golden Swan” is produced by Hofseth and Siri Natvik of Fri Film, with Helle Faber of Made in Copenhagen — known for the Sundance title “Mr Nobody Against Putin” and Hot Docs winner “The Mountains” — joining as co-producer. Other titles presented in the Norwegian showcase include “Strangers & Stayers” by Julia Dahr, Julie Lunde Lillesaeter and Hannah Jayanti, Amir Ajdinovic’s “The Universe Is My Selfie,” Maria Galliani Dyrvik’s “Hope Is a Word” and Maja Holand’s “Hex.”
