It is with great pleasure that we announce the nomination of President directed by Camilla Nielsson and produced by Signe Byrge Sørensen (Final Cut For Real) and Joslyn Barnes (Louverture Films) for the Robert Award in the category of Best Documentary.
The documentary follows the presidential campaign trail in Zimbabwe during the decisive 2018 election. As the new leader of the opposition party MDC, Nelson Chamisa, challenges the old guard, ZANU-PF, represented by the acting president Emmerson Mnangagwa, the election will be the ultimate test for the country’s democratic practice in the post-Mugabe era – has Zimbabwe turned a new corner or is history bound to repeat itself?
The annual award ceremony is hosted by the Danish Film Academy in celebration of the best Danish film and television of the year gone by. The Robert Award nominees and winners are selected by the over 2000 members, all of whom are members of the Danish film and TV industry.
The award ceremony will be held on February 5th 2022.
