"The director who is to receive this recognition has a short but impressive filmography that gives hope for future work. She - yes, it is a she - has demonstrated that she is able to get close, to deal with sensitive matters in a gentle and respectful way, to build a story so it comes out as an engaging drama that is much stronger than many feature films. I guess that many of you watched the film at CPH:DOX last year. She is in the process of making a new film that was presented recently on the Nordisk Panorama it was very well presented. Also that film will have an international career. Let me give you the titles - the finished film is "Songs for Alexis", the one coming up is "Bobby Jene". So ladies and gentlemen, the winner, a true documentary talent - Elvira Lind."
