The racing sequel received the fund’s biggest grant in its latest round.
The Nordisk Film & TV Fond has allocated $317,000 (NOK 2.7m) to Norwegian car racing sequel Børning 2-On Ice.
Hallvard Bræin again directs, with veteran John M Jacobsen producing with Marcus Brodersen for Filmkameratene.
In the film, Anders Baasmo Christiansen stars as a father who tries to prevent his daughter (Ida Husøy) from taking part in another illegal street race, this time from the west coast of Norway to Sweden, Finland and Murmansk in Russia. The original 2014 hit featured a race from Oslo to North the Cape.
