Göteborg Film Festival and Nordisk Film & TV Fond announce five Nordic drama series for the NOK 200,000 (€20,000) Nordic drama series screenwriting award.

“We are now looking forward to welcoming three new interesting and fascinating filmmakers in Gothenburg”, says Camilla Larsson, Fund Manager, at Göteborg Film Festival.

”My experience as the Artistic Director of Göteborg Film Festival has been an incredibly fulfilling journey, and I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of an organization that serves the art of cinema and its audience.”

Fyra ukrainska regissörer och manusförfattare är nu utvalda till de residensplatser som utannonserades i maj.

At the next annual Göteborg Film Festival, half of the films will be directed by women.

– meet Pella Kågerman and Hugo Lilja.

The award winning director is back with her second feature Amateurs – an intelligent, warm and wonderfully funny film about who gets to decide on a community’s outward image.

“As one of the most influential actors of our time, Juliette Binoche has behind her a wide range of iconic performances that have helped shape modern European film history.”

“I’m very honoured to be chosen by the festival and to receive this award at the same time as Euphoria is finally being shown to Swedish audiences.”
