'A HOUSE MADE OF SPLINTERS' SELECTED FOR SUNDANCE 2022 /  by Maria Kristensen

We're so happy to announce that Simon Lereng Wilmont’s new feature documentary A House Made of Splinters, produced by Monica Hellström, will have its world premiere in January, as part of the World Documentary Competition at Sundance Film Festival 2022. The film has been selected along with 9 other documentaries from around the world. This year Sundance will be a hybrid between online and in-person attendance taking place from January 20 to January 30 2022 in Salt Lake City, US.

A House made of Splinters is a follow-up to Wilmont’s debut feature The Distant Barking of Dogs, both films showing the lives of children in war-torn Eastern Ukraine. The film from 2017 won a string of ​​awards, including for best first film at IDFA. A House Made of Splinters follows a small group of strong-willed social workers who strive tirelessly in a special kind of orphanage to create an almost magical safe space for kids to live in while the state authorities and courts decide the future fate of the children and families.
