We are proud to share that a film director, Simon Lereng Wilmont, has been awarded a lifelong honorary grant from the Danish Arts Foundation (Statens Kunstfond)!
The grant recognises Simon’s outstanding contribution to Danish and international documentary film.
The Danish Arts Foundation states:
“With a rare ability to create intimate and moving portraits of people in vulnerable moments, Simon brings audiences close to realities most of us only experience from a distance. His films are simple, yet never simplistic, carried by presence, aesthetics, and human insight.
Simon Lereng Wilmont allows silence and the small, unspoken moments to speak. His work reminds us that even in dark times, there is light, empathy, and beauty.”
We couldn’t agree more, and we congratulate Simon on this well-deserved recognition!
