Ole Giævers film Mot Naturen, som har deltatt i Panoramaprogrammet på Berlinalen, er tildelt Europa Cinemas Label som Beste europeiske film. Det er den samme prisen Blind vant i fjor.
Prisen gjør at filmen får lanseringsstøtte fra Europa Cinemas og en prioritert kinodistribusjon.
En jury bestående av fire kinokjeder i Europa Cinemas network valgte ut den norske prisvinneren. Juryen har følgende å si om vinneren:
“With a wry Scandinavian sense of humour, Out of Nature is a well made and entertaining film about man’s contemporary anxieties and concerns – something of a universal theme today,” said the jury statement.
“Ole Giæver not just directs his own screenplay but plays the lead role too – a brave but successful choice. The central character is bored with his job, has a problematic relationship with himself and is distant from his wife and son. He escapes into the mountains for a weekend of contemplation and adventures. The film’s success will certainly inspire young filmmakers.”
