Low-budget film The total budget for the film is NOK 6.9 million. The usual budget for Norwegian films is NOK 25–50 million. – It is absolutely fantastic. This is a film written and directed by women. There is a woman in the lead role and a female supporting role. In addition, it is a low-budget film. That’s what a happy producer, Mona Johanne Hoel, tells news. The Amanda Prize The Amanda Prize is a Norwegian film prize that was established in 1985 on the initiative of the film producer and director Bente Erichsen. The prize is awarded annually in several categories at the Norwegian Film Festival in Haugesund. In 1993, the award included films from all over the Nordic region, but from 1994 it was again a Norwegian film award. The prize is a statuette by the sculptor Kristian Kvakland. The award’s name and the statuette itself refer to the goddess Amanda from Haugesund. Source: Store norske lexikon – It’s great just to get this recognition of being nominated, says Hoel. The Amanda Prize is awarded in 21 different categories at the Festiviteten in Haugesund on 23 August. First Sami love film “Eallogierdu – Guardians of the Tundra” is the first Sami love film of all time. In this love film about Sami reindeer herders, shame and skepticism get in the way of love. Single mother Lena moves back to Finnmark with her young son after a few years in the capital. NOMINATED: Berit Anne Oskal Kemi plays Gáren in “Eallogierdu – Guardians of the Tundra”. She is one of the nominees for the Amanda Award in the Best Supporting Actress category. Photo: Press image / Freedom from Fear She works as an artist, and wants to integrate themes about Sami gender roles in her art. Eventually she meets Mahtte. Mahtte owns a herd of reindeer, but it is his mother who takes care of everything administratively. Lena and Mahtte fall in love, but Mahtte’s mother is clearly against it all. This is how the film is described in a review in Barnevakten. Risten Anine Gaup has been nominated for the Amanda prize for best female lead. Photo: Dan Robert Larsen / news – It’s incredibly fun to be nominated, and for me that’s enough. I have no expectations for more. It will be fun to go to Haugesund to be with the others, says Risten Anine Gaup. – There are so many talented actors in Norway. The film had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival 2023 to rave reviews. The film has recently been screened at prestigious festivals in Seattle and Sydney. Netflix director Elle Márjá quit her permanent job and pursued her dream. Published 19.06.2024, at 11.07 Updated 19.06.2024, at 12.04
