Honorering excellence

With Nordisk Film Prisen we honor a film talent behind the camera, who has particularly distinguished him or herself in one of the year's film productions and who helps raise the quality and further development of Finnish films. 

The prize is awarded in relation to the Jussi Awards, which are Finland's premier film industry prizes, which are awarded annually to recognize the achievements of directors, actors and writers.
