Den britiske avisen The Guardian gir den nordiske krimsuksessen mye av æren for den nye tendensen med krimfestivaler i Storbritannia.

For en måned siden skrev vi her på Rushes om  at “UK Convention” i London feiret nordiske film og tv-serier innen krim og thrillersjangeren. “Nordicana” het fokuset som ble arrangert av distributøren Arrow Films som fra før har etablert en egen “Nordic Noir” dvd-label. Det to dagers arrangementet ble en suksess og baner veien for nye krimfestivaler, ifølge The Guardian:

Last month’s inaugural two-day Clerkenwell festival of Nordic crime fiction and film was such a hit that next year’s is already being planned. The organisers aim to offer a broad appeal, more akin to the Latitude and Hay festivals. So, this year, attendees hung out in an outdoor vodka bar with the cast of a hit Scandi-crime TV series, while listening to wistful Swedish pop and eating Norwegian waffles. In between, there were talks by crime writers David Hewson and Ann Cleeves; Q&As with actors from Arne Dahl, The Killing, Wallander and Borgen; Scandi TV and film screenings; and the chance to browse Scandi furniture, travel and food stalls.”
