Fantastic news! Our Norwegian film "Sick of Myself" has made history at the Norwegian Film Critics Award 2023, scooping all three awards. This is an unprecedented achievement!

🏆 The movie clinched the esteemed Best Feature Film award. Director, Kristoffer Borgli, has truly crafted a work of art that mirrors the uncomfortable truths of our era.

🏆 The Best Actress award was taken home by Kristine Kujath Thorp for her outstanding performance in the lead role.

🏆 Makeup artist Dimitra Drakopoulou also received an award for her remarkable contribution to "Sick of Myself".

Our film has been lauded for its darkly humorous yet striking depiction of our culture's narcissism and the quest for identity, leaving global audiences both laughing and squirming in discomfort.

The Film Critics Award, running for 73 years now, is decided by a team of around 90 members. We're delighted for the cast, crew and production company Oslo Pictures with this acknowledgement of their brilliant work!

It’s time for another premiere for us, this time in Denmark. Superposition is an unnerving psychological thriller with a hint of horror starring Marie Bach Hansen and Mikkel Boe Følsgaard as a young couple who are going completely off-grid with their small son. But everything does not go to plan, as what should have been an idyllic camping trip becomes a nightmare, when a couple and their son are literally confronted with themselves in the woods - and there is no way to escape!

The film premiered on March 23rd and you can read more in Danish here:
