FESTIVALS France

Best Prize for Uno

by 

On Saturday night, for the 18th Scandinavian Film Festival in Rouen, the Norwegian director Aksel Hennie was granted the Best Prize for his film Uno. This feature, produced by Tordenfilm AS, Uno, thus adds another victory to the director’s credit — as a director he was elected Best Beginner at the Amanda Awards 2004, and as an actor, that same year, he was one of the Shooting Stars chosen by the European Film Promotion. Uno is about a 25-year-old delinquent who wants to make a new start and rebuild his life from scraps. It will be released in France in September.
