BAND by Álfrún Örnólfsdóttir selected for CPH:WIP
Band by Álfrún Örnólfsdóttir has been selected for the work in progress event at CPH:FORUM, which is CPH:DOX's (Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival) financing and co-production event. The forum takes place online from April 26 - 30.
Band is directed and written by Álfrún Örnólfsdóttir and is the make-or-break story of an Icelandic female band that probably won't make it and isn't really a band. The project is produced by Heather Millard and Thórdur Jónsson for Compass Films and coproduced by Andreas Kask for Nafta Film.
A total of eight works in progress projects from high-profile Nordic producers and directors were selected and will be presenting at the CHP:WIP event on Tuesday, April 27. Upcoming, nearly finished films from established Nordic production companies will be looking for gap financing or a launch pad for further distribution. The titles are curated in collaboration with the Nordic film institutes and reflect the festival's commitment to strong documentaries from the Nordic region.
