The Nordisk Film & TV Fond has recently announced the names of the recipients of its September and October slates of financial support. For both rounds combined, the Nordic fund will support six feature-length fiction films, three TV series and one feature-length documentary with a budget totalling over NOK 17.7 million (€1.851 million).

While preparing his new TV series The Conductor (see the news), Swedish director Mikael Håfström is also filming his first Swedish feature in 15 years, the psychological thriller The Perfect Patient (Quick), which has received support of NOK 2.35 million (€246,000). Based on the true story of the Thomas Quick case, the script, written by Erlend Loe, follows journalist Hannes Råstam (Jonas Karlsson), who wants to prove the innocence of self-proclaimed serial killer Thomas Quick (David Dencik) and unveil the chaos of the Swedish judicial system in the country’s biggest legal scandal. Produced by Sweden’s Helena Danielsson for Bacademy (Brain Academy), with Norway’s Paradox Film, Belgium’s UmediaFilm i VästNordisk Film and TV4, the film will premiere in autumn/winter 2019, and TrustNordisk is handling the international sales.
