The award was announced Tuesday evening November 1, during the Nordic Council’s Autumn Session in Helsinki, Finland.

The Nordic Council Film Prize is one of the most coveted film prizes in Northern Europe. Previous winners include FLEE (2021), LOUDER THAN BOMBS (2016), THE HUNT (2013), PLAY (2012), ANTICHRIST (2009) and YOU, THE LIVING (2007) among others.

The Nordic Council Film Prize also comes with DKK 300,000, which is shared between the director, writers, and producers – as an expression of the fact that film as an art form is the result of a collaboration between these three main functions.

LAMB starring Noomi Rapace and Hilmir Snær Gudnason a.o. is written by the well-known Icelandic writer, Sjón, and film director Valdimar Jóhannsson who also directed the film.

The film world premiered at Cannes’ Un Certain Regard 2021 where it won the ‘Prize of Originality’. It was also honoured with no less than 12 Edda Awards in Iceland in 2022.
