Goteborg’s Nordic Film Market Unveils Lineup

“Cop Secret,” “Magrete – Queen of the North” and “The Emigrants” are among 12 wide-ranging projects set to be presented at a virtual, Scandinavia’s biggest industry showcase which runs alongside the Goteborg Film Festival.

“The Emigrants,” meanwhile, is a star-spangled epic drama helmed by Erik Poppe adapting Vilhelm Moberg’s classic saga about the Swedes who emigrated to the U.S. during the mid-19th century. The movie stars Lisa Carlehed, Gustaf Skarsgård, as well as Swedish pop singer Tove and Sofia Helin. “The School Master Games,” sold by Level K, marks the feature debut of Ylva Forner and was adapted from Kristofer Folkhammar’s novel. It is set at the Saint Sebastian Academy, an all-male school where homosexuality is the norm.

Anticipated titles also include Bille August’s “The Pact,” from REinvent, and Peter Næss’s “Nothing to Laugh About,” from TrustNordisk. “The Pact” is a psychological drama about the intense friendship between Karen Blixen, the Danish author best known for her autobiographical novel “Out of Africa,” and Thorkild Bjønvig, a young and promising poet. “Nothing to Laugh About” follows a 40-year-old stand-up comedian who finds out he has cancer and learns to cope with his illness.

Anticipated highlights include “Árru,” a musical drama set in the Sami’s herding community, directed by choreographer-turned-helmer Elle Sofe Sara and produced by Mer Film; “Hypnosis,” a reportedly daring drama exploring modern male and female roles, directed by Ernst de Geer and produced by Garage Film; and “Twilight of the Gods,” a film weaving documentary and fiction, directed by Sweden-based French helmer Morgane Dziurla-Petit and produced by Vilda Bomben.
