Film Fund opens coffers
- Grants for two features and one short from Norwegian Film Fund’s 2002 resources of almost NKR5.4 million
Two new feature film projects in Norway have received grants from the Norwegian Film Fund.
The Bum’s Rush a Scottish-Norwegian co-production, is a black comedy reminiscent of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, directed by Steward Svaasand. It received NKR 2.3 million from the fund against its total budget of NKR 27.5 million. The Bum’s Rush is scheduled for release in the autumn of 2003.
Play, an all-Norwegian project directed by John Sullivan, was assigned NKR 2 million of its total budget of NKR 3.5million. Play is about a trip to the country by a group of young drama students that does not quite turn out as planned. In 2002 the Norwegian Film Fund disposed of a total budget of NKR5.385.900, some of which was also given to Uten Tittel (Untitled), a short film by Anja Breiens.
