Rays of Hope (In a World of Prostitution, Rape and Incest) By Caroline M. Buck by Caroline M. Buck
Be With Her by Frédéric Ponsard
What’s on the Scandinavian Mind? By Alf Kjetil Walgermo by Alf Kjetil Walgermo

Headed by Git Scheynius, the festival “launches young filmmakers and broadens the forum for innovative quality films in Scandinavia”. Its broad selection of recent world cinema has been highly appreciated by a young Stockholm public. A “Northern Lights” section presented new films from the Nordic countries (including the Baltic republics).

Our jury awarded two prizes: to Be With Me by Eric Khoo (Singapore, competition); and to Accused (Anklaget) by Jacob Thuesen (Denmark, Northern Lights).
