The Best film of 10th Riga’s Nordic Film Days, who was awarded with the symbolic NorthernTable, was the film Country Wedding by Valdís Óskarsdóttir. Country Wedding also received the Audience Award.

Here You can find the letter from Valdís Óskarsdóttir, written after receiving the news from Riga:

“I want to thank the jury and the audience here in Riga from the bottom of my heart. I’m very grateful and proud and I admire you for voting for comedy as the best film of Riga Nordic Film Days. You guys have made a history because comedies hardly ever find their way to prizes at film festivals. Therefore your rewards and recognition means a lot more to me then you can ever imagine.

So again, thank you, thank you, thank you and enjoy your evening.

With my very best,”

Valdís Óskarsdóttir
