Danica Curcic honoured at CPH PIX

AWARD. On Wednesday, 8 April, at the opening of CPH PIX, the annual Nordisk Film Prize was presented to actress Danica Curcic who has previously won several awards for her work in Danish film.

13. April 2015 Lea Mosegaard

With major roles in no less than four feature films ("Silent Heart," "On the Edge," "The Absent One" and "All Inclusive"), winner of both a Robert and a Bodil Award and selected as a Shooting Star at the Berlinale in 2014, Danica Curcic has kept busy the past year.

On Wednesday evening, 8 April, Curcic was once again in the spotlight, as she recieved – as the first actor ever – the Nordisk Film Prize at the opening of Denmark's largest feature film festival, CPH PIX. Danish director and member of the prize committee, Michael Noer, presented the award to Curcic with the following statement:

"She is completely unique in her approach to a role. She leaps headlong into creating the character, making herself totally available, without compromising or losing the core of the person. There is a reason why she is so busy, but when we are with her in the darkness of the cinema, time stands still."

The Nordisk Film Prize

The Nordisk Film Prize was founded in 1996 by the Nordisk Film Foundation and is awarded to an extraordinary talent in Danish film. The prize is accompanied by DKK 1000 x the production company's age (this year DKK 109,000, which is approximately EUR 15,000).

Previous recipients include screenwriters and directors such as Lars von Trier and Anders Thomas Jensen. For the first time this year, the prize went to an acting talent.

Flow

Fenar Ahmad, 2014

Michael lives in a housing project. He and his friends make music together. Michael is clearly the biggest talent in the group, and one day he is discovered by the established rapper Apollo who makes Michael his ghostwriter.

All Inclusive

Hella Joof, 2014

The chaotic thirty-year-old Ditte and her older sister - the much too sensible Sigrid - travel to Malta with their mother, Lise, to celebrate her 60th birthday. Lise's husband, the girls' father, has just left her, and the two sisters do not exactly see eye to eye on how to cheer up their dejected mother. As the holiday progresses, it develops into an absurd love triangle with the sisters stubbornly fighting over Lise's love and attention - all in a whirlwind of a package holiday full of jealousy, family patterns, lies, disco and a dexterous bartender named Antonio.

The Absent One

Mikkel Nørgaard, 2014

In 1994, two young twins are found brutally murdered in a summer cottage. A number of clues points in the direction of a group of young upper class students from a nearby boarding school, but the case is closed as a local outsider pleads guilty and is convicted for the murders. When the case ends up on Carls Mørck's desk 20 years later, he soon realises that something is terribly wrong.

Silent Heart

Bille August, 2014

Three generations of a family gather over a weekend. The two sisters Sanne and Heidi have accepted their terminally ill mother's desire to die before her disease worsens. However, as the weekend progresses, their mother's decision becomes harder and harder to deal with, and old conflicts resurface.
