In 2024, Nordic Film Market presents an exciting programme of talks and case studies.


 

In Conversation: Thierry Frémaux and Ruben Östlund

It is our pleasure to welcome Thierry Frémaux, the General Delegate of the Festival de Cannes and General Director of Institut Lumière, to Göteborg for an engaging on-stage conversation. Together with director Ruben Östlund, Göteborg Film Festival’s Honorary President and two-time Palme d’Or recipient, they will delve into the exclusive talk about the current cinematic landscape and film festivals, exploring their past, present, and future.

The conversation will be moderated by Göteborg Film Festival’s Artistic Director, Jonas Holmberg, scheduled for the Nordic Film Market on Wednesday, January 31, at Hotel Draken.

 

Case Studies

In 2024, the Nordic Film Market is introducing a special section with case studies exploring innovation within new Nordic projects. The two talks will be presented in one joint session on February 1. 

About a Hero: AI meets Herzog

About a Hero is a film created by Kaspar, an AI based on the works by Werner Herzog. The film is Europe’s first AI-scripted feature feature, now in post-production. Join producer Mads Dambo and director Piotr Winiewicz as they present integrating AI with conventional filmmaking. The extended work in progress presentation will provide an insight into the creative process, international launch strategies, and a sneak peek at select scenes in progress. Moderated by Wendy Mitchell.

Pioneering Nordic Sustainability

Paranoia emerges as Denmark’s first green-certified feature, while Kevlar Soul showcases the Swedish toolbox application ‘Sustainable Film.’ The panel, featuring Anne Ahn Lund (Sustainability Coordinator, Paranoia), Julie Rix Bomholt (Producer, Paranoia), and Ronny Fritsche (Producer, Kevlar Soul, and sustainability consultant), will reflect on and share the realities of implementing sustainable practices. The session is moderated by Wendy Mitchell and created in partnership with the Nordic Film Commissions.
