John Hopewell Chief International Correspondent August’s New Nordic Films, Scandinavia’s biggest second-half-of-the-year film market, will open with drama-thriller “Way Home” from Charlotte Sieiling, a concept director on the original “The Bridge” and “Borgen.” The screening will mark the world premiere of “Way Home,” sold by LevelK and produced by Denmark’s Toolbox Film. “This movie means a lot to me, and I really hope the Nordic audience and the world will embrace our effort to tell this father-son story in an environment so different from ours, but still part of our reality,” said Sieling.
