Bransjetreffet Nordisk Panorama hadde sin avsluttende seremoni sent i går kveld i Malmö, der følgende priser ble delt ut: Best Nordic Documentary Award, Best Nordic Short Film Award, Best New Nordic Voice Award og NP Audience Award.

Eneste norske innslaget under pris-seremonien var Gunhild Westhagen Magnor som fikk publikumsprisen for Optimistene.

Dokumentarprisen gikk til Salomé av Yrsa Roca Fannberg. Juyens motivasjon var blant annet:

The jury chooses to recognize a film whose simplicity creates a heartbreaking immediacy, and belies a complex and expertly crafted vision of how performance and staging in documentary can reveal the deepest emotional authenticity. Through an always fascinating filmic relationship between mother and daughter, we take a journey from trauma to understanding and grace, with moments of bittersweet humour

Kortfilmprisen gikk til Wayward av Kira Richards Hansen.

A successful short movie, despite its length, reveals a world of its own and is able to draw the spectator into it. We were pulled into this story thanks to an intriguing character who defies the system and fights to find where she belongs. This lonesome cowboy seduced us by his complexity, vulnerability and fierceness. It’s a classical drama that challenges the notion of gender in a profound way, a film that explores darkness while instilling hope in the spectator. A film carried by an exceptional performance that kept us on the edge of our seats.

Prisen i kategorien New Nordic Voice gikk til Alexander Lind for Carl & Niels.

By placing the two protagonists opposite each other in a minimalist setting, the filmmakers make a bold decision that pays off. Instead of becoming an immovable standoff, the story of their lives deepens and becomes a fascinating and original journey through a complicated brotherhood. There is joy and playfulness in the relationship, but also violence and danger lurking underneath. We get a clear sense that something is at stake and we never know what is going to happen next. In this, the jury was in no doubt: The Danish film Carl & Niels stands out as a more than accomplished piece of filmmaking, and makes us curious about the filmmakers next move. In other words: a new voice to be reckoned with.
