The Norwegian-Greek-Canadian co-production So Long, Marianne nominated in three categories.

The Norwegian-Canadian-Greek drama series So Long, Marianne has garnered three nominations at Canadian Screen Awards, to be held in Toronto on June 1st. The series, created by Ingeborg Klyve and Tony Wood and written by Øystein Karlsen and Jo Næsbø, portrays the relationship between Leonard Cohen and Marianne Ihlen, set against the backdrop of the 1960s counterculture movement.

The Canadian Screen Awards are presented by the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television, and widely regarded as the most prestigious recognition for Canadian television series, considered the Canadian equivalent of the Oscars and Emmys.

So Long, Marianne has been nominated in the following categories:

  • Best Drama Series: Recognising its narrative and production quality.
  • Best Direction in a Drama Series: For its standout episode "The Chelsea Hotel”, directed by Bronwen Hughes.
  • Best Original Score: Celebrating the series' music that echoes Cohen's legacy.

This series not only highlights the enduring allure of Leonard Cohen's artistry, but also underscores the collaborative spirit of international co-productions.

So Long, Marianne is produced by Norway’s Redpoint Productions for NRK and co-produced by Canada’s Connect3 and Greece’s Tanweer Productions. It has financing from NFI, SVT, DR, Yle, RÚV, and Nordisk Film & TV Fond.
