Nordic Council Film Prize 2022: Meet the nominees in Kino Regina

The five Nordic films nominated for the Nordic Council Film Prize 2022 will be introduced in Helsinki the day before the award ceremony. Join the filmmakers in a discussion on how the films came to be. What were the initial impulses and how did the processes continue towards unique films that touch hearts across national borders?
