Swedish-Polish director Magnus von Horn’s dark period drama “The Girl With the Needle” will compete for the Palme d’Or at the 77th Cannes Film Festival. Variety has been given exclusive access to a first-look clip from the film.
Written by von Horn and Line Langebek (“I’ll Come Running”), “The Girl With the Needle” is loosely based on the true story of Dagmar Overbye, a Danish woman who established an underground adoption agency in post-World War I Copenhagen to help poor women dealing with unwanted pregnancies.
Starring Trine Dyrholm, Vic Carmen Sonne and Besir Zeciri (“Wildland”), the film follows Karoline (Sonne), a young factory worker who is struggling to survive on the fringes of society. When she finds herself unemployed, abandoned and pregnant, she meets Dagmar (Dyrholm), a charismatic shopkeeper who helps poor mothers to find foster homes for their unwanted children.

Wild in the Streets: Nordahl’s Debut Spins on Devotional Dysfunction
The family crest for the sinister brood at the heart of Jeanette Nordahl’s directorial debut Wildland would likely read something like “Familia Super Omnia (Family Above All)” based on their supposed allegiance to their shared aims. In the same breath, good luck to any one of their kin who dare to defy the easily dismayed matriarch ensuring their (mostly) efficient criminal operations girding their livelihood. Featuring a winning performance from Sidse Babett Knudsen, oscillating wonderfully from nurturing mother figure to icy racketeer, this Danish familial crime saga follows familiar rhythms wherein a new initiate to the tight-knight clan catalyzes a swift unraveling of operations.…...

"Why did you run away like that?" Picturehouse in the UK has revealed an official UK trailer for a Danish dark drama titled Wildland, marking the feature directorial debut of filmmaker Jeanette Nordahl. This first premiered at last year's Berlin Film Festival and also opened in Denmark last year, and is arriving in the UK and US starting in August this year. Ida moves in with her aunt and cousins after the tragic death of her mother in a car accident. The home is filled with love, but outside of the home, the family leads a violent and criminal life. Described as "an enthralling, brooding and utterly gripping thriller that packs a powerful emotional punch." This almost seems like a Danish take on the iconic Australian crime family film Animal Kingdom. Starring Sandra Guldberg Kampp as Ida, Sidse Babett Knudsen, Joachim Fjelstrup, Elliott Crosset Hove, Besir Zeciri, and Carla Philip Røder.

AFI Fest Review: Wildland is a Family Crime Drama with Richly Drawn Characters and Riveting Violence
While much entertainment can be had from stories of successful, high-level crime families, tales of low-level crime syndicates are often far more impactful. Case in point is the ménage of barely serviceable debt collectors in Jeanette Nordahl’s Wildland. Like the Irish gangsters in the recent film Calm with Horses, the family in this Danish drama is close-knit yet positively bursting with secrets. Into this family comes a teenage cousin with no knowledge of how they make their money. The results are, predictably, not going to be pretty.
This teenager is Ida, a shy, thoughtful figure played with wounded grace by Sandra Guldberg Kampp. As Wildland begins, Ida’s mother, a former addict, was recently killed in a car accident. Social services places Ida with her aunt and three male cousins in their countryside home. The family is led by a tough, occasionally domineering matriarch, Bodil, played by The Duke...

Until recently, Sarajevo was set to go ahead as a physical event with open-air screenings. But, just eight days before opening night amid a second spike of Covid-19 cases throughout the region, the festival moved entirely online with the exception of a few outdoor screenings in nearby Mostar.

Exclusive: NBCUniversal International Studios is teaming up with Marcella producer Buccaneer Media and Danish scribe Ingeborg Topsoe on crime-drama series Moths.
Topsoe is riding high following the Berlin Film Festival premiere last week of Scandi crime-drama feature Wildland, which was one of the best-reviewed movies at the festival. She previously collaborated with NBCUniversal’s international TV arm on Hanna.
The premise of Moths is that a young woman in California receives a call that her sister has been found dead of an apparent suicide in Tokyo, where she had been working as a scientific researcher. Thus begins a journey to uncover in death who her sister was in life – and how she both adapted and failed to adapt to her new native land.
Topsoe, who has already written multiple episodes of the eight-episode (8 x 60mins) show, will be in L.A. this week with the studio to discuss the project...

One of the hippest, most international Scandinavian companies, the Copenhagen-based Snowglobe, is the 5-year-old banner behind “Wildland,” the female-powered crime film set to world premiere at the Berlinale.
Starring Sidse Babett Knudsen (“Borgen”) as a mafia ringleader and introducing Sandra Guldberg Kampp, “Wildland” was written by Ingeborg Topsoe (“The Charmer”) and directed by Jeanette Nordahl. It explores the themes of family, loyalty and the cycle of violence, addiction and corruption. “It’s a female take on a mafia story, a genre that has traditionally been male-driven,” says Katrin Pors, Snowglobe’s co-founder.
The company was founded in 2015 by three plugged-in Scandinavian film executives with complementary backgrounds: Eva Jakobsen, a former producer at Nimbus Film and Zentropa, who produced hit “Antboy”; Mikkel Jersin, a former producer at Nimbus who worked with Joachim Trier, Runar Runarsson and Lisa Langseth; and Pors, who spent years in Latin America, and co-produced films by the...

After the sudden death of her mother, an introverted teenager is taken in by an estranged female relative, who turns out to be the matriarch of a dangerous criminal family. If the essential logline of Danish director Jeanette Nordahl’s quietly tense debut “Wildland” sounds more than a little familiar, perhaps the same thought occurred to those who titled it for the international market: Though it goes by “Kød & Blod (Flesh and Blood)” at home, its English-language moniker is all but a synonym for David Michôd’s similarly premised “Animal Kingdom.” That’s not a bad film to resemble in any capacity, though Nordahl’s study of a frail adolescent psyche plunged into a corrupt household has its own sense of ticking dread.
That’s thanks in large part to a key difference from the 2010 film: the protagonist is a girl, 17-year-old Ida, whose desires and vulnerabilities shift the stakes of this hothouse drama.

Imagine the vicious crime family at the heart of David Michôd’s Animal Kingdom as seen through the eyes of a shy and scrawny 17-year-old girl and you’ll get an idea of the setup in Wildland (Kød & Blod), a brooding Danish thriller that opened this year’s Panorama sidebar in Berlin.
Directed by first-timer Jeanette Nordahl and written by Ingeborg Topsøe, the film follows the travails of a teenager orphaned by a deadly car accident and sent to live with her lawbreaking relatives, only to wind up way worse for wear. A bit heavy and monotonous in ...

The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences has found a new, permanent telecast home for the Daytime Emmys: Its own site. NATAS is launching a streaming service that will serve as the place to watch the Daytime Emmys and its other awards shows.
The new over-the-top platform is expected to launch in the first quarter of 2020, several months before the Daytime Emmys take place. The service, which doesn’t yet have a name (but will likely include “Emmy” in its title), will be unveiled in time for the Technology & Engineering Emmy Awards in April, and the Sports Emmys in May, both of which are administered by NATAS.
But the real utility of the new streamer will come on June 12, 13 and 14, when the 47th Daytime Emmy Awards are held at the Pasadena Convention Center in Pasadena, Calif.
The Daytime Emmys used to be a broadcast mainstay, rotating between ABC, NBC and CBS in its heyday.

TrustNordisk Boards Crime Thriller ‘The Marco Effect’ From Oscar-Nominated Director Martin Zandvliet
Scandi major TrustNordisk will handle world sales on The Marco Effect, which is based on Jussi Adler-Olsen’s bestselling crime-thriller novel of the same name.
Danish filmmaker Martin Zandvliet, whose credits include the Oscar-nominated war pic Land Of Mine, is helming the project, which is budgeted at $8.1m (€7.4m) and began shooting this week.
Written by Anders F.

Inspired by Altman’s “Short Cuts,” “When the Dust Settles” is among the first multi-plot structured Danish shows. “The Team”’s Stinna Lassen is producing for Dr Drama. Conducting the show is concept director Milad Alami.
“First I found the story to have believable characters; they felt like real people you pass on the street, with diverse social background, sexual orientation, race and age. Alami told Variety, explaining why he was on board.
