This year, Nordisk Panorama has with the category New Nordic Voices, offered a wide range of high quality films with a great diversity in the filmmaker's approaches of storytelling and subject matters. The jury has been taken on an enjoyable journey from realism to magical realism, from original concepts to documentaries based on unique access to previously undiscovered grounds. We have seen intriguing and strong films made by promising directors that will be exciting to follow in the years to come. One film, however, stands out. The winning film is deeply personal, yet very universal. It's political, yet poetic. It's heart-rending and tragic, yet funny and inspiring. It takes on one of our time's most central and deplorable conflicts. The filmmaker is using unique footage and archive material to tell his extraordinary story in a confident way. The director focuses on individuals, and widens the perspective by telling a story of their shared destiny. The film deals with an important question, that is, which effect it has on people not to have a country to belong to. The answer is disheartening, but the film is not. When the art of cinema is greatest, it makes us look at the world anew. And this renewed perspective is a prerequisite for real change. This year's winner does all that outstandingly. The New Nordic Voices Award 2013 goes to A WORLD NOT OURS by Mahdi Fleifel.
