Vantage Film congratulates the DoPs Philip Øgaard and Erling Thurmann-Andersen† for the Hawk Cinematography Award received at the Grenzland-Filmtage in Selb, Germany for "Jonny Vang".
The Jury was mainly impressed by the economic use of visual means and the taking back of the camera, which manages to tell the story in an unob- trusive way due to an atmospheric density and due to the sensible contact to the characters.
The Story: Jonny, Tuva and Magnus have been friends since they were kids. Now Magnus is married to Tuya, but Tuya also is Jonny's mistress. Jonny is not happy with the arrangement, and he would very much like to change things.
Jonny starts a carrier as farmer and breeder of worms. Shortly after having first successes Jonny is assaulted by an unknown person. It could have been Magnus, but also another citizen of the small town where everybody knows everybody and where various calcula- tions don't work. Especially when you look like a rock star and live your dreams without respecting the dear neighbors. But Jonny Vang is not one to give up without a fight...
