17. Nordisk Panorama / 5 Cities Film Festival 2006 in Aarhus – die Preisträger

The Nordic Documentary Award – DKK 50.000 sponsored by TV2

„Forgotten / Bortglömda“ by Agnieszka Lukasiak, Sverige
The jury’s statement: „The main award goes to a documentary that is structured almost as a fiction film. It is not only dramatic and moving in telling us a story of two young girls but it also reflects the contemporary Eastern European society in transition in all its complexity. The film tackles important and universal issues of poverty and brings to life the inner drama of making personal choices imposed by external circumstances. The powerful story and thoughtfully chosen cinematic language will certainly stay with us for a long time.“

Special Mention

„No Man Is An Island / Ei Kukaan Ole Saari“ by Sonja Lindén, Finland
The jury’s statement: „The first special mention is a well shot documentary about one single character. It has a strong and intelligent concept. It makes us believe that the character has chosen this unusual lifestyle to deal with his own solitude and personal kind of love. Through poetic imagery the film manages to show us this situation without speculation.“

„Beth’s Diary / Beths Dagbog“ by Beth, Mikala Krogh and Kent Klich, Danmark
The jury’s statement: „The second special mention is a short cinematic study about a woman dealing with her tormented past and hard destiny. Through precise and thoughtful use of still photograpy and a personal video diary the film captures and expresses a very intimate portrait of a woman living on the edge af society.“

The Nordic Short Film Award – DKK 50.000 sponsored by DR, Danish Radio

„Coco-Nuts / Kokos“ by Charlotte Blom, Norge.
The jury’s statement: „Making short films should not be about following rules, but inventing them. The Short Film Jury is pleased to award the prize to a wildly original and completely fresh film. We were delighted with its witty, inventive script and superb execution. It is rare to find a film that seamlessly mixes various genres so absurdly and yet so successfully. The jury’s unaniminous choice for The Nordic Short Film Award is „Coco-Nuts / Kokos“ by Charlotte Blom.“

„Lullaby“ by Margreth Olin, Norge

„Stafet“ by Morten Jørgensen
The jury’s statement: „The jury is pleased to be able to present this years talent prize to a film, which is a delicate playfull use of pictures and a deeply monotone soundtrack that has the ability to captivate and entertain with a very good idea/story. We give the prize to a film that bubbles with joy of storytelling – a film that pierces an unfortunate tendency to one only wanting to listen to one self …”
