This year's section included nine strong fiction films produced in Norway, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, and Iceland.
The jury consisted of: Jorunn Myklebust, Sveinung Wålengen, and Louise Beyer.
Jury's Justification:
The winner of the Nordic Fiction competition program touches on grief in a subtle and complex manner. Despite its short runtime, the film encompasses a great deal: love, care, anger, and jealousy. Through this spectrum of emotions, the two female characters particularly come closer together, and along with them, we as viewers fumble towards a hope that overcomes fear. The winning film is a raw, corporeal, and humanistic story that can create emotional resonance regardless of background.
The winner of the Grand Pix Nordic Fiction is WHEN THE LIGHT BREAKS by Rúnar Rúnarsson.
