Herdswoman awarded in Lübeck, Germany
Herdswoman was awarded with the Documentary Film Prize at the 50th Nordic Film Days in Lübeck.
Statement of the Jury
The Documentary Film Prize goes to the
Swedish documentary film "Herdswoman" by Kine Boman. The ongoing
conflict between Sami traditions and profit-oriented modern Sweden
serves to portray a civilization threatened to sink into oblivion. By
means of striking images and sounds, director Kine Bomann successfully
depicts the struggle of the Sami people for their culture and their
living space. Hopefully, the prize will encourage her to further pursue
the topic and keep up her commitment for this minority.
