The winner of the Nordic Council Film Prize to be announced in a TV special October 22

The Film Prize 2024 will be announced together with the Nordic Council’s awards in literature, music, film, children and young people’s literature and the environment, the theme of which is sustainable construction. Instead of the traditional gala presenting the winners, RÙV will produce a programme around them.

Icelandic musician Unnsteinn Manuel Stefánsson will host the TV special. The film award will be handed out by Danish actor/writer Anna Neye, who was one of last year’s winners as the scriptwriter of Empire (Viften), which won the Nordic Council Film Prize.

You can watch the programme live at www.norden.org world wide from UTC 19:40 or on Nordic channels, starting October 22.

The award programme will stay online and can be watched in all countries and regions afterwards. To watch: CLICK HERE.
