PER FLY won the second annual Nordic Council Film Prize – right after Aki Kaurismäki – with his silently powerful Manslaughter in 2005. The film concludes the Denmark Trilogy, a bottom-to-top autopsy of Danish society (also including: The Bench, 2000, and The Inheritance, 2003).
Waltz for Monica (2013), the realistic dramatization of the life of a popular Swedish jazz singer, cleared the table at the Swedish Guldbagge awards and will also be seen at the Midnight Sun Film Festival. Fly’s wife CHARLOTTE FICH, the leading actress of Manslaughter, is also coming to Sodankylä; she is known from several TV series such as Mobile Unit and Black Widows.
