Norway Collects Two Awards At HotDocs 2016

10th May 2016

On Friday, two Norwegian entries were presented with awards at Toronto’s prestigious HotDocs documentary film festival. Brothers won Best International Feature, while Dugma: The Button collected Best Mid-Length Documentary.

Best International Feature Documentary Award
Brothers (D: Aslaug Holm; P: Tore Buvarp; Norway)
Few laments are as great as those of parents who wish time didn’t pass so quickly, that they could somehow enjoy their children just a little while longer. Not wanting to miss a moment, director Aslaug Holm begins filming her two young sons, capturing their milestones and emerging personalities, as well as her own maturing as a mother.

Best Mid-Length Documentary Award
Dugma: The Button (D: Paul S. Refsdal; P: Ingvil Giske; Norway)
Embedded in an al-Qaeda unit on the front lines of the Syrian Civil War, director Paul S. Refsdal captures the stories of two martyrdom seekers about to embark on a suicide bombing. We meet Abu Qusawara, a well-fed Saudi with a passion for fried chicken, and Abu Basir, a bookish Brit whose yearning for a martyr’s death is called into question when he becomes a husband and a father.
