We are delighted to share with you that ATLAS OF THE UNIVERSE by Paul Negoescu received an award for the Best International Feature Film at Kristiansand International Children´s Film Festival. The award includes NOK 50,000, which goes to the distributor that imports and releases the film in Norwegian cinemas.

Jury statement:

The jury wishes to highlight an original film that impressively takes a child’s reality seriously. With a clear and strongly grounded lead role, we meet a boy with a distinct need – a project he never gives up on, no matter the obstacles. Over the course of a long day and night, we follow his determination, portrayed with rare sensitivity and credibility.

The lead performance is particularly remarkable, delivered with a presence and authenticity that carries the film from beginning to end.
The film conveys how seemingly small things can hold great significance in a child’s world, expressed through poetic storytelling and a beautiful, realistic cinematic language. It creates images and moods that stay with us long after the credits roll.
