Nordic Council Film Prize 2022 – the nominees

Since 2002, the Nordic Council Film Prize has been awarded to a full-length feature film that has roots in Nordic culture and displays high standards of artistic quality.  

Here are the nominees for this year’s film prize:

The five Nordic films have been nominated by national juries.

The winner of the 2022 Nordic Council Film Prize will be announced together with the winners of the other Nordic Council prizes on 1 November in Copenhagen in conjunction with the Session of the Nordic Council. 

The prize money of DKK 300,000 is shared equally between the winning screenwriter, director and producer, which underlines that film as an art form is the result of close co-operation between these three main functions.

The Nordic Council Film Prize is awarded to a Nordic-produced feature film of a high artistic quality. The film must have had its cinema premiere between 1 July 2020 and 31 December the year before 2021 or between 1 January and 30 June 2022.

The Nordic Council Film Prize was first awarded in 2002 and is now awarded each year along with the other Nordic prizes for literature, music, and the environment.

Nordisk Film & TV Fond is responsible for the administration of the prize.
