Set in the 1960s, the film centres on a seven-year-old girl, whose modernist architect parents are a source of embarrassment and anxiety for her. Me and My Moulton was produced by Lise Fearnley for Mikrofilm in collaboration with the National Film Board of Canada – the team behind Kove’s The Danish Poet which won an Oscar in 2007. The director’s other short film My Grandmother Ironed The King’s Shirt was her first chance to grab the coveted statuette in 2000.
Currently living in Canada, Kove shares her time between filmmaking and children’s books illustrations. Her first feature length animation film Hocus pocus, Alfie Atkins (Hokus Pokus Albert Åberg) was backed by Nordisk Film & TV Fond.
Norway is also represented at the Oscars with Morten Tyldum, running for Best Director for the UK/US film The Imitation Game, nominated eight times.
Iceland’s composer Jóhann Jóhannsson is nominated for Best Original Score Composer for The Theory of Everything.
