NPM Work-in-Progress
Sun 23 Sept, 13.30-18.00 2018, Scandic Triangel – Selected Market Guests Only
Giving nearly finished films the final push
Work-in-Progress presents 6 nearly finished documentary projects, almost ready to make it onto the world stage. The projects are presented to international and Nordic decision makers in a tailor made event, created to make sure that each project benefited the most from the presentation.
The presentations and consecutive one-to-one meetings take place at Nordisk Panorama Market on Sunday 23 September 2018 in the afternoon.
The Work-in-Progress presentations follows up on former Nordisk Panorama Forum pitches and pitches at fora around the world. All projects presented are looking for a last push to be finalized, a sales agent/distributor or festival premiere.
The Work-in-Progress projects are therefore not selected through an open call, but invited to submit.
For more information, contact Market Manager Maria Stoianova.
Selected Projects 2018
Confessions From Military Dictatorship
Director Karen Stokkendal Poulsen Producer Vibeke Vogel Production Company Bullitt Film Co-Production Company Little Big Story Country Denmark
The entire world praised the military and Aung San Suu Kyi when power was passed on to the democracy icon after 50 years of military dictatorship. One year later she defended an ethnic cleansing and had isolated herself from the public. This film tells you why.
Femimam
Director Marie Skovgaard Producer Jesper Jack, Anna J Ljungmark Production Company House of Real Country Denmark
Femimam documents the creation of Europe’s first mosque run by female imams. Its members all share one conviction: they want to confront and challenge, the fears and concerns that surround Islam and to create an alternative to existing readings of the Koran, thereby effecting a break with established gender hierarchies.
Josefin & Florin
Director Ellen Fiske, Joanna Karlberg Producer Anna Weitz Production Company Mantaray Film Country Sweden
A documentary love story about a single mother from Sweden and a beggar from Romania who choose to defy all conventions and believe in love and a better life.
The Feminister
Director Viktor Nordenskiöld Producer Viktor Nordenskiöld & Malcolm Dixelius Production Company Freetownfilms Country Sweden
In an era of male despots, she declares a Feminist Foreign Policy. On the side, she secretly starts the mediation between US and North Korea, ironically headed by the not-so-feminist despots she fights. “The Feminister” reveals Sweden’s Foreign Minister Margot Wallström campaign as mediator and for a seat in the UN Security Council, as well as the cost: stress-related disease and death threats.
Once Aurora
Director Benjamin Langeland, Stian Servoss Producer Thorvald Nilsen Production Company Flimmer Film Country Norway
AURORA is a pop sensation from a small town in Norway. She was discovered at the age of 16, dropped out of school, and spent the next years touring the world. At the age of 20 she is at a breaking point. Is this really what she wants, and if not, does she have any other option but to continue?
Meet the Censors
Director Håvard Fossum Producer Ingvil Giske Production Company Medieoperatørene Co-Production Company Illume Ltd., Hansen & Pedersen Film og Fjernsyn Country Norway
The film is about censorship, told through the censors themselves. It will try to show how censorship works and why the censors censor. And all the while, it looks behind their rethoric to find out what consequences their actions have.
