Den nordiske manusprisen til ”Herrens Veier”

Den nordiske manusprisen til ”Herrens Veier”

Av

Forfatter Adam Price ble i kveld tildelt Nordisk Film & TV Fonds pris på 200 000 svenske kroner for beste manus på dramaserien Herrens Veier. Den danske serien er for tiden tilgjengelig på nrk.no

Det er andre gangen manusprisen deles ut og det skjedde under Gøteborg film festivals tv-dramaseminar. I fjor var det norske Nobel som ble tildelt prisen.

Etter hans suksess med drama fra det politiske liv i Borgen, hadde Price sett seg ut en annen bastion forbundet med mye tro i Herrens Veier. Serien har vært Danmark Radios første internasjonale coproduksjon med ARTE Frankrike og Price sitt eget selskap SAM.

I en uttalelse i forbindelse med produksjonen sa Price at han alltid har vært fascinert av konseptet med tro som katalysator for menneskelige handlinger. ”De siste 10-15 årene har vi sett en tilspissing i forholdet mellom verdens religioner som påvirker både politikken og vårt dagligliv».

De andre nominerte seriene var Stella Blomkvist (Island), Advokaten (Sverige), Karppi(Finland) og Grenseland (Norge) .

Årets jury har bestått av Walter Iuzzolino, Sofia Helin og Kirpi Uimonen Ballesteros. Deres begrunnelse er sdom følger (på erngelsk):

The first time the three of us met for lunch and sat down to discuss the selected programmes, each one of us had a clear winner in mind. The problem was – were we talking about the same show? Five hours later, we discovered we were… so in many ways, it was the simplest task ever… all we ended up doing was discussing the series for hours, telling each other why we had loved it so much and why it meant so much to us.

All the nominated programmes are exceptional examples of Scandinavian storytelling at its best, showing breadth and scope but also superb crafting. But the winner stood out for a very simple reason – it is unlike any Scandinavian show we had ever seen before.
A bold, original approach to a deeply unfashionable subject. An innovative push into a genre that does not mirror the hugely successful Scandi formula for fast, slick thrillers. We all felt this was a piece of television destined to transform and refresh the Scandi canon.

Quite simply, it was a show with a beating heart and soul. For all of us, the plot was almost insignificant (we hope the writer won´t take this personally). Very quickly, all we cared about was the characters, their emotional life, their troubles and dilemmas.

TV drama at its best is an art form as magnificent and dignified as a Caravaggio or a Rembrandt. Some artists are fashionable, others are Masters. One thousand years from now, in an imaginary Museum of TV Masterpieces, this programme will come to represent what it was like to live in Scandinavia in 2018… not what was trendy or what was considered pretty – but what was true.

The fact that such a story would be written, and commissioned by a big terrestrial broadcaster is nothing short of miraculous. But then again, the writer probably does believe in miracles.
