Five features and one documentary have been nominated for the 2026 Nordic Council Film Prize. It’s awarded to a feature film or documentary produced in the Nordic countries that has been distributed in cinemas.

Some picks – announced at the Norwegian International Film Festival Haugesund – come as no surprise, as Joachim Trier’s Oscar-winning “Sentimental Value” and Hlynur Pálmason’s “The Love That Remains” have already enjoyed significant festival success.
