Films by Sweat director Magnus von Horn and Margrete: Queen of the North filmmaker Charlotte Sieling will be presented at the 25th Nordic Film Market (January 31-February 2), the film marketplace of Goteborg Film Festival.
The projects are among the 15 Nordic films in post-production being showcased in the Works in Progress strand.

Swedish director von Horn attends with The Girl With The Needle, a horror story set in 1910s Denmark, starring Trine Dyrholm and produced by Creative Alliance’s Malene Blenkov.
The film is co-written by von Horn and Line Langebek, and is loosely based on the case of Dagmar Overbye, a child carer who became one of Denmark’s most notorious serial killers in the 1910s.
Danish filmmaker Sieling will present Way Home, a Denmark-Norway-Germany co-production that received €420,000 Eurimages funding in 2022, as well as backing from the Nordisk Film & TV Fond. Way Home is a suspense drama about a father in search of his son.
The 17 films in development at the Nordic Film Market include Djinn, the new feature from Milad Alami, who directed Sweden’s 2024 Oscar entry Opponent.
The Market will also present 16 completed Nordic films to accredited programmers, buyers and sales agents, including Thea Hvistendahl’s festival opener Handling The Undead, and Elina Sahlin’s Swedish title Bye Bye Boredom.
Two case study talks in the market will look at About A Hero, a film created by artificial intelligence based on the works of Werner Herzog; and Pioneering Nordic Sustainability, in which a panel of sustainability experts will analyse practices for improving the industry’s ecological footprint.
Goteborg Film Festival runs from January 26 to February 4.
