NATO Behind-the-Scenes Doc ‘Facing War’ Boarded by Cat&Docs: ‘It’s Like a Big Family and Most Families Are Dysfunctional,’ Director Says (EXCLUSIVE)


The Norwegian documentary 'Facing War,' directed by Tommy Gulliksen, is due to open CPH:DOX March 19.

A former political commentator, Blindheim had co-directed with Gulliksen the NRK 2017 doc series “Da vi styrke landet” (“When We Ruled the Country”) featuring six Norwegian former heads of state – including Stoltenberg. Quizzed about his personal views on Stoltenberg’s versatile talent, Gulliksen points to his acute professionalism in preparing for meetings, conferences or public appearances, and his special relationship with words to deliver a speech in the least conflictual way. “Facing War” was produced by Blindheim and Danielle Turkov Wilson for Gulliksen’s outfit Dox Division (co-headed with director Tonje Hessen Schei), in co-production with NRK, SVT and Think-Film Impact Production.
