The debut feature of Rojda Sekersöz BEYOND DREAMS (Dröm Vidare, 2017) received the FIPRESCI Award at the 45th Norwegian Film Festival in Haugesund.
"This is a film that combines the raw energy of its juvenile heroine with the poignancy of Scandinavian social realism. It’s an engaging, well-acted coming-of-age story," the jury said in its statement.
The FIPRESCI Award is given to the best Nordic film, and is decided by a jury appointed by FIPRESCI, the international film critics association. The jury consisted of Cüneyt Cebenoyan, Kira Taszman and Thor Joachim Haga.
