Norway’s nominee for Nordic Council Film Prize 2009 is ”North”, an arctic roadmovie. Following a nervous breakdown, ski athlete Jomar has isolated himself in a lonely existence as the guard of a ski park. When he learns that he might be the father of child way up north, he sets on a strange and poetic journey through Norway on a snowmobile, with 5 litres of alcohol as sole provisions. Rune Denstad Langlo had the idea for ”North” as he was going through a life crisis and asked the established Norwegian writer Erlend Loe to make it into a feature film screenplay. The director used his experience in documentaries to film non-professional actors in intimate scenes, as well as Anders Baasmo Christiansen in his first major role.
