Dragon Award Best Nordic Documentary
It’s a period of nominations for awards here there and everywhere. The national ones, the international ones. ”Who can bear to be forgotten”, as a line in a famous classic documentary goes. It means something to be on a list, to be appreciated, it’s not only red carpet and glamour. It helps get the films to an audience. Let’s mention the award given to a documentary at the Göteborg Film Festival in February. The quality focus is here obvious, when you see who got the award the three previous years:
”The War Show” (http://www.filmkommentaren.dk/blog/blogpost/3727/) by Obaidah Zytoon and Andreas Dalagaard,
