Awards 2010


Awards - Norwegian Competition

Three films were awarded by the jury.

Best Norwegian Film: A diploma and NOK 10 000 donated by Minimalen.
FABELAKTIGE FIFF OG FAM by Solveig Melkeraaen
Jury statement: 'For the distinctive and consequent manner in which this documentary uses its visual elements while simultaneously providing an astonishing insight into the personal life of two charming and mature ladies.'

Best Norwegian Fiction: 5 reels of 35 mm film stock donated by Kodak.
DADDY'S GIRL by Helen Komini Olsen
Jury statement: 'A grotesque, but funny film that uses features such as its voice-over narration and visual flamboyance in a both appealing and appalling way.'

The Special Jury Award: A Sachtler tripod donated by Video 4.
KONTROLL by Hanne Myren
Jury statement: 'A documentary that succeeds in getting close to the main character, a strong-minded young woman who wants to maintain control over her feelings at all costs and despite her turbulent state of mind.'

Honorable mentions:

BRUDHLAUP by Karin Pennanen
Jury statement: 'For the precise way in which this film describes a woman's breakaway from an important event and for the way it uses nature as a narrative device.'

DEN TRETTENDE DAG JUL by Thorbjørn Magnus
Jury statement: 'A civilization critique that is as funny as it is pointed.'

39 Norwegian films screened, 37 in competition.


Awards - Nordic Competition (NIFA):

All winners receive a NIFA-trophy and prize money from Nordic Culture Fund. Please note that also the films in Norwegian Competition participated.

NIFA Best Film (EUR 1 000):
FRIDAY (FREDAG) by Alexe Landgren (Sweden)
Jury statement: 'Absorbing, gripping and empathic in the way it describes its main characters' feelings through a creative writing class.'

NIFA Best Documentary (EUR 500):
HOW THEY DANCE (HVORDAN DE DANSER) by Jesper Ravn (Denmark)
Jury statement: 'For the way in which it uses expressive colors, movements and voice-over narration to convey the passion of dancing.'

NIFA Best Fiction (EUR 500):
CAUGHT REDHANDED (PÅ BAR GÄRNING) by Olof Leth (Sweden)
Jury statement: 'A film about misunderstandings in both verbal and non-verbal communication, this anti-love story uses narrative layers as complex as human relationships.'

NIFA Best Animation or Art Film (EUR 500):
GURI GURSJEN & GURSJAN GRU by Eirik Aure and Johanne Anda (Norway)
Jury statement: 'For the detailed and very original way of illustrating the issues of being different and of overcoming isolation by using features derived from non-animation filmmaking and theater.'

Honorable mentions:

BENEDICT by Henri Savolainen (Finland)
Jury statement: 'For providing a charming insight on the absurdities of a uniformed and monotonous lifestyle.'

MY LIFE AS A TRAILER (MITT LIV SOM TRAILER) by Andreas Öhman (Sweden)
Jury statement: 'A visual tour de force and a funny, warm-hearted and romantic portrait of its likeable characters.'
