Confessions From Military Dictatorship
Director Karen Stokkendal Poulsen Producer Vibeke Vogel Production Company Bullitt Film Co-Production Company Little Big Story Country Denmark

Femimam

Meet the Censors
Director Håvard Fossum Producer Ingvil Giske Production Company Medieoperatørene Co-Production Company Illume Ltd., Hansen & Pedersen Film og Fjernsyn Country Norway
