Within the section for children’s and youth films, there was a strong preference for one particular film at this year’s 66th Nordic Film Days in Lübeck, Germany: LARS IS LOL (by Eirik Sæter Stordahl, Norway) took home two awards.
Both the Children & Youth Film Award (Gemeinnützigen Sparkassenstiftung ) and the Children’s Jury Prize (Hansestadt Lübeck) were endowed with €5,000. The children’s jury also gave an honourable mention to VICTORIA MUST GO (by Gunnbjörg Gunnarsdóttir, Norway).
In the Nordic Shorts & Young Audience sections, the prize for the best Nordic and Baltic Short went to O (by Rúnar Rúnarsson, Iceland/Sweden). The Youth Jury (14-17 years) also handed out an award. The winner was FIGHTING DEMONS WITH DRAGONS (by Camilla Magid, Denmark/Sweden).
