Nomination text:
Spare and restrained, rooted in Nordic folk music and influenced by the film’s Sami elements, Kristian Eidnes Andersen's score to SAMI BLOOD is nothing short of gripping. The music grabs hold of the viewer, just as it grabs hold of the stunning landscapes and Elle-Marja's face, of each scene, and of the soul and universe of the film. Authentic Sami joik (produced by Frode Fjellheim) appears in the film and echoes in the wordless voices in Eidnes’ score, in the yearning wordless singing, the melancholic strings, the lonely cello and the glass flageolet tones. The vulnerable sound of glass merges with Elle-Marja’s Sami upbringing and resonates with her conflict, divided as she is between Sami and Swedish culture. Elle-Marja's pain, which is at the same time her driving force, is beautifully expressed in Eidnes’ simple, yet complex score, which throughout the film reworks and develops a single theme of wistful calling. The score firmly grasps the movie’s dramaturgy as a co-creative force. Unsentimental, restrained – and simply gripping. Danish Jury: Tore Leifer, Anne Østerud, Peter Schultz |
