Awards

Nominee | 2008 | Bodil Awards | Bodil | Best Film (Bedste danske film) | Morten Hartz Kaplers, AFR
Winner | 2007 | International Film Festival Rotterdam | Tiger Award | Morten Hartz Kaplers, AFR | This well crafted polemical film, utilizes a conceptual approach which comments on the blurring of reality and fiction. Its complex narrative approach is exceptionally achieved through its use of montage, which provides a provocative analysis of the way society is manipulated by modern media and politics. Ex aequo with Bog of Beasts (2006).
