Niki Lindroth von Bahr's short film "The End" was nominated for the Palme d'Or for best short film at Cannes but did not win. Now the film director and animator is receiving the Falstaff Prize, which she says feels "completely surreal."
"Suddenly I can stop for a moment and actually think about how I want to use my time instead of just chasing next month's rent. It's an unimaginable luxury," she says in a press release.
“It’s a fantastic prize to receive!” says theater and opera director and visual artist Karl Dunér, who has been recognized for, among other things, “The Garbage Heap” at the Orion Theater, a work based on text fragments from a 2,000-year-old garbage heap in Oxyrhynchos.
