  • It’s one of the titles that I believe will resonate both with audiences and with the festivals.
  • Our priority is always to have distinct voices, and we really try to have a strong blend between newcomers and senior directors, but also films that are not only festival films but do have a clear target audience and commercial ambition,” noted Nordic Film Market head Josef Kullengård.
  • Popular on Variety “We have been growing slightly for the past years.
  • We are expecting 650 attendees for the Nordic Film Market and 1200 for the NFM and TV Drama Vision.
