"But after years in the shadows, the country has finally found its place in the international spotlight with a number of distinctive, relationship-centred and critically acclaimed films and television shows in what many are describing as a Norwegian golden age. The last few months alone have seen the release of Dreams, the third of Dag Johan Haugerud's Oslo Stories Trilogy, which won the biggest prize at this year's Berlin film"
"Meanwhile, Pernille (known as Prni in Norway) has found dedicated audiences around the world since the Viaplay comedy drama series about the life of a single-parent family was recommissioned by Netflix. We are in a golden age of Norwegian cinema, Ullmann Tndel, who is working on the script for his next film, told the Guardian. Especially in terms of recognition from the biggest festivals and how Norwegian cinema films are being perceived outside of Norway."
Norway moved from being overshadowed by neighbouring Sweden and Denmark to gaining significant international attention for distinctive, relationship-centred and critically acclaimed films and television. Recent successes include Dreams (the third of Dag Johan Haugerud's Oslo Stories Trilogy), which won the top prize at Berlin; Joachim Trier's Sentimental Value, which won the Grand Prix at Cannes and follows his Oscar-nominated The Worst Person in the World; Lilja Ingolfsdottir's Loveable; and Armand, the directorial debut from Halfdan Ullmann Tndel. The Viaplay series Pernille, recommissioned by Netflix, has attracted global audiences. Recognition from major festivals has increased, and a younger generation of filmmakers is taking creative risks and forming collectives to encourage experimentation.
