11.09.2009 - Last Saturday, last day of the 9th Nordic Talent in Copenhagen, the National Film School of Denmark that hosted the event could be proud of its alumni. Three of its graduates were handed out awards: the Danish/Egyptian May el-Toukhy won THE NORDIC TALENTS PITCH PRIZE of NOK 250,000 for Cairo, and in a unique move, two Special Mention Awards (instead of one) were given out to Iceland's Rúnar Rúnarsson and Denmark's Kristoffer Kiørboe.
"Giving out two Special Mentions - on top of the NORDIC TALENTS Pitch Prize - is really extraordinary, but this was the right thing to do because the three projects stood out and deserved the prizes," said Hanne Palmquist, CEO of Nordisk Film & TV Fond, who finance and run Nordic Talents in close collaboration with National Film School of Denmark.
