Norwegian comedy-drama named Best European film in Berlin Film Festival’s Panorama section.
Norway’s Out of Nature (Mot Naturen), directed by Ole Giæver, has won the Europa Cinemas Label as Best European film in the Panorama section.
Out of Nature will now benefit from promotional support from Europa Cinemas and better exhibition due to a financial incentive for network cinemas to include it in their programme schedule.
Review: Out Of NatureBLOG: Brisk run for Nature

Exclusive: Norwegian director Ole Giaever’s Toronto title has become the first selection for the Panorama strand at the next Berlinale.
Norwegian director Ole Giaever’s Out of Nature (Mot naturen), which received its world premiere at Toronto earlier this month, has been revealed as the first title for the Panorama section at the next Berlin International Film Festival (Feb 5-15, 2015)
Giaever also plays the lead in the comic drama about the uncensored thoughts of a man on a solo hiking trip. His debut feature, The Mountain, screened in Berlin’s Panorama section in 2011.

The Panorama strand comprises 18 films intended to provide insight into new directions of art house cinema.

A Hollow World of Obligations
Ole Giæver’s sophomore feature, Out of Nature, very much resembles—in setting, structure and thematic preoccupation—his short film work and prior, less effective, feature effort, Fjellet. Like those works, his latest similarly presents a situation where enlightenment and introspection stems from one’s engagement with nature, only the template is less manufactured and more intimate, making the obviousness of the metaphor far more palatable.
Here, Martin (played by Giæver himself), a meek, diffident man lacking basic social skills plans an escape to the mountains for the weekend, leaving his wife (Marte Magnusdotter Solem) and son (Sivert Giæver Solem) behind despite some unspoken tensions. This sojourn, which consists of Martin’s persisting inner-dialogue accompanying images of him hiking, running, sitting around, pissing and occasionally masturbating, is a passive-aggressive act of empowerment unto itself. Rather than confront the problems in his life, he flees from them and avoids them.
