Nordic Co-Production Market under New Nordic Films i Haugesund er klare med sitt program. Her skal blant andre Pål Jackman, Jorunn Myklebust Syversen og Ellen Ugelstad presentere nye prosjekter.
Årets norske deltakere på Nordic Co-Production Market i Haugesund.
Utvalget består av 21 kuraterte nordiske og franske prosjekter under utvikling, som søker koprodusenter, finansiering, internasjonale salgs- og forhåndssalgsavtaler samt distribusjonspartnere. Alle prosjektene vil bli presentert i Haugesund 26. august av regissører og produsenter. Tidligere denne uken presenterte vi årets WiP-program som også er en del av NNF-programmet i Haugesund.
De utvalgte prosjektene har mulighet til å motta Storyline Production Award, Best Pitch Award og MIDPOINT Talent Award. Årets jury består av Annick Mahnert, Soňa Morgenthalová og Iris Codas. Blant de norske deltakerne finner vi godt etablerte profiler som Pål Jackman, Jorunn Myklebust Syversen, Nataša Urban og Ellen Ugelstad, samt Hedda Mjøen, Vegard Dahle og Ina Grevstad.
De norske titlene og omtalene er hentet fra programmet som er på engelsk.
Acts of Kindness (Norway), directed by Ellen Ugelstad, produced by Ellen Ugelstad and Jonas Bruun for Twentyone Pictures.
«Eva, a flight attenddan, dreads giving a speech on her mother’s birthday. Jone, a Christian entrepreneur, ends up in a legal battle defending his right to employ undocumented refugees. Hanne, a blind student with a dominating presence, struggles to find her place and stirs tensions that lead to bullying. A group of idealistic Scandinavian textile artists, led by Sigrun, join forces with a Kenyan literature professor, embarking on an ill-conceived aid project. And Edith, a retired social worker, invites her former Filipino housekeeper and her sons to her primitive cabin in the mountains.»
Big Deal (Norway, Finland, Estonia), directed by Hedda Mjøen, produced by Oda Kruse for Kruela Film.
«When celebrated Oslo theater director Mathias Hammer is charged with multiple counts of sexual assault, the case sends shockwaves far beyond the courtroom walls. As the trial progresses, each of the four protagonists is handed a measure of power over its outcome, and each must decide what to do with it when the law demands one thing and their conscience demands another. Big Deal takes no sides. It dwells in the space between conviction and doubt, between loyalty and justice, between what the law can prove and what the body remembers.»
Domesticated Animal (Norway), directed by Pål Jackman, produced by Julia Joner for Chezville.
«Domesticated Animal is an intense family drama about Sven and Anna, two parents who fear their own child. Their 15-year-old son, Peter, is smart and charming, but cold and extremely violent. While Sven longs for connection and Anna hides behind bitter sarcasm, Peter’s self-destructive behavior escalates. After stabbing a petrol station clerk, who later dies, Peter attempts to strangle his mother and is committed to a psychiatric facility. Forced to confront their failures, the couple makes one final, fateful decision — to set the beast free.»
Grandmonster (Norway), directed by Vegard Dahle, produced by Jon Vatne for Syden Pictures.
«While trying to save her grandmother from dementia, an American dropout triggers a zombie outbreak at a Norwegian nursing home. Turns out zombies with dentures are the easy part. Budget cuts, bureaucracy, and Scandinavian conflict aversion are another story.»
Patience (Norway), directed by Jorunn Myklebust Syversen, produced by Kari Moen Kristiansen for Paradox.
«Oline (24) is building a new life as an art student in Oslo when a sudden loss leaves her and her younger sister, Thale (18), as each other’s only support. As Thale gradually loses her grip on reality, Oline must take on the ever-greater responsibility of keeping her safe, even from herself. As the burden grows, against a backdrop of systemic failure and sociocultural inheritance, Oline must confront the fragile boundary between caring for another and losing herself.»
Vagina Dentata (Norway, Romania), directed by Nataša Urban, produced by Ingvil Giske for Medieoperatørene.
«In this surreal horror, we meet ”V,” a 40-year-old pregnant artist in a cold Oslo apartment. After a bloody C-section, she realizes that giving birth also means giving birth to death. On the first night with her newborn, violent thoughts surface. As postnatal depression deepens, she transforms into a vampiric creature hunting down past abusers, using their blood as developer for her 16mm films. Suspended between dream and reality, ”V” levitates through early motherhood, spiraling like a whirlpool toward the point where the boundary between fearing her son’s death and harming him dissolves.»
The Virtuous (Norway, Denmark), directed by Ina Grevstad, produced by Teodor Sven Bø, Øyvind Lierhagen Eriksen and Maria Ekerhovd for Mer Film.
«1349, Western Norway. The Black Death breaks out, and 15-year-old Sylvei is accused of being sinful and bringing the plague to the farm where she lives. Together with her mother, Dagny, she flees to a family farm run by Dagny’s fanatically religious uncle. Cut off from the outside world and terrified of infection; moral strictness tightens its grip. When Sylvei initiates a forbidden relationship with Halvor, a boy her own age, suspicion against her deepens. To survive, Sylvei must break free from a society that would rather kill young women than endure their desire.»
