Nordic Council Film Prize - Wikipedia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Nordic Council Film Prize is an annual film prize administered by the Nordic Council. The Nordisk Film & TV Fond is the funding body that administers the prize.

History

The first award was handed out in 2002 to celebrate the Nordic Council's 50th anniversary.^[1] Since 2005 the prize has been annual. In 2023, Greenland submitted a film for the first time with The Edge Of The Shadow, directed by Malik Kleist.^[2]

Description

The Nordisk Film & TV Fond is secretariat to the Nordic Council. It is funded by 22 partners: the Nordic Council of Ministers; five national film institutes; and 16 public and private media companies. It also funds the Nordisk Film & TV Fond Prize at the annual Gothenburg Film Festival.^[3]

One winner is chosen from submissions from the five Nordic countries.

In 2008, the prize money of the Nordic Council Film Prize was €47,000. According to the Nordic Council, the prize is given for "the creation of an artistically original film that is rooted in Nordic cultural circles".^[4]^{[needs update]}
