The film will premiere exclusively on NENT Group\u2019s Viaplay streaming service in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Produced by NENT Studios, Hilma has Helena Danielsson on board as producer and Josephine Zapata Genetay as executive producer. One of Sweden\u2019s most celebrated directors, Hallstr\u00f6m\u2019s credits include <em>What&#8217;s Eating Gilbert Grape<\/em>, <em>Chocolat<\/em> and <em>The Shipping News<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Hallstr\u00f6m commented: \u201cI\u2019ve spent three years trying to understand the mystery of Hilma af Klint. This is a story about an unwavering search for the truth about humanity and the universe, at a time when men made all the rules. Despite so many obstacles, Hilma created art that influences our lives today. My ambition is for the audience to experience these struggles with all their senses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Filippa Wallestam, NENT Group&#8217;s chief content officer, said: \u201cHilma af Klint literally changed the way we look at the world. She happens to be Swedish, but her story says something important to audiences everywhere. It\u2019s so special to work with talents of the caliber of Lasse, Lena and Tora, and it\u2019s even better when the project means so much to everyone involved. <em>Hilma<\/em>\u00a0and our coming films make NENT Group\u2019s ambitions clear. Nobody in the Nordic region is thinking as big as this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Anders Jensen, NENT Group&#8217;s president and CEO, said: \u201cThe impact that women and men from the small countries in the Nordics have had on the world is nothing less than extraordinary. Many are of course very well known, but others are less known or even almost unknown. We want to share these stories with the world and hopefully find new perspectives that will both enlighten and entertain. In today\u2019s very competitive streaming world it is key to stand out and be relevant. For us, building on who we are, where we come from and what we stand for is a very clear differentiator that will support our vision of becoming the European streaming champion. Today\u2019s news is an amazing stepping stone on that journey.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nordic Entertainment Group (NENT Group) is set to produce two English-language films every year, starting with Hilma, a biopic of the Swedish artist and feminist pioneer Hilma af Klint, written and directed by Lasse Hallstr\u00f6m (The Cider House Rules, My Life as a Dog).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":10982,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[2655,2656,1751],"class_list":["post-10981","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-hilma","tag-lasse-hallstrom","tag-nent-group"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>NENT Group &amp;
