'A SILENT STORY' AND 'VINTERSAGA' NOMINATED AT NORDISK PANORAMA by Maria Kristensen

We are excited to announce that Anders Skovbjerg Jepsen’s A Silent Story is in competition for ‘The New Nordic Voice Award’ at the film festival Nordisk Panorama in Malmö. 

In A Silent Story film director Anders Skovbjerg Jepsen contacts his seven years older childhood friend, who sexually abused him when they were both children. Together they seek to recollect and understand how and why it happened. We are happy and proud of the attention that this important film is receiving, and we will follow it closely at the festival alongside all the other fantastic films that are nominated.

We are also happy to announce that Carl Olsson's Vintersaga, produced by Ginestra Film in co-production with Final Cut for Real, is competing in the ‘Best Nordic Documentary’ category. In Olsson's distinctive visual language, Vintersaga is essentially an ode to the melancholy of Sweden.

At Final Cut for Real we look forward to the 21st of September, when the 34th edition of Nordisk Panorama will start. You can find out more about the festival here.

‘PATRIMONIUM’ AND ‘DREAMING MURAKAMI’ SELECTED FOR THE 14TH MAKEDOX FESTIVAL by Maria Kristensen

Two Final Cut for Real productions have been selected for this year’s MakeDox film festival: Patrimonium and Dreaming Murakami.

This year Denmark has been chosen as the “country in focus” for the festival. As MakeDox explain on their Instagram, the Danish focus is meant as a way to “cool down in the hot Skopje evenings”. At Final Cut for Real we are thrilled that two of our movies are being represented there.

Starting today the 14th MakeDox festival is taking place in Skopje, North Macedonia. MakeDox is a platform of creativity and documentary films, and their weeklong festival is showing a broad selection of exactly that.

On Saturday evening Carl Olsson’s 2019 Patrimonium will be shown at the festival. The movie examines time by questioning the borders between history and modern world.

The second of our movies selected, Nitesh Anjaan’s 2017 Dreaming Murakami, will be shown on Monday evening. It explores the world of Japanese author Haruki Murakami through the life and works of translator Mette Holm. Anjaan is going to Skopje to experience the festival himself.

You can read more about The MakeDox Festival on their website. We look forward to following the festival from Denmark.
