At the Zlin Film Festival in the Czech Republic, the oldest and biggest children and youth film festival in the world, the Award for Best European First Film, handed out by the International Expert Jury for European First Films, was given to THE UNPROMISED LAND by Swedish director Victor Lindgren. This film tells about two teenagers meeting each other in their small Swedish town. Together they revolt against the old ways and find something new in each other.
In the International Expert Jury for European First Films were producer and distributor Lubica Orechovska (Slovakia), production manager Slobodan Dedeic (Serbia) and film director and journalist Simon Safranek (Czech Republic). The jury’s motivation stated that this film “devotes itself in a sensitive way to the coexistence of different cultures in contemporary Sweden, in a way that concerns the whole of Europe. Without using stereotypes, pathos or reprimands, this story tells about understanding, friendship and the need for a family.”
