This year, for the 20th Nordic Co-Production Market, two prizes will be awarded!
New Nordic Films and Storyline Studios are launching a brand-new post-production award with the value of NOK 250 000 (approx. € 21 000) to be used for camera equipment rental and grading services to one project in Haugesund.
Storyline Production Award goes to the most promising project with an international appeal at the Nordic Co-Production Market, August 20th. The winner will be decided upon by jurors Casey Baron from Tribeca FF, Marge Liiske from Industry@Talents & Baltic Events, and Josef Kullengaard from Göteborg FF.
The jury will also decide on the Best Pitch Award given by Producers Network, Cannes Film Festival, which awards the best pitch performance and the overall quality of the project.
