Five Nordic films have been nominated for the Nordic Council Film Prize 2022 - celebrating 20 years this year. The nominees will be presented at the opening of the New Nordic Films event during the Norwegian Film Festival in Haugesund, Norway. The winner will be announced in Helsinki 1 November.

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:

 

 

DENMARK

FINLAND

ICELAND

NORWAY

SWEDEN

 

The five Nordic films have been nominated by national juries.

The winning film will be announced on 1 November

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.
