While Sweden’s Ruben Östlund grabbed some Oscar nominations and took home Cannes’ Palmed’Or last year, two other Scandinavian filmmakers basked in the international spotlight following their Cannes competition premieres: Ali Abbasi with “Holy Spider” and Tarik Saleh with “Cairo Conspiracy” (previously titled “Boy From Heaven”).
Abbasi, an Iranian-born Danish helmer, and Saleh, a Swedish director whose father is Egyptian, are part of an exciting new generation of Nordic helmers who are shaking up traditional Scandinavian cinema.
These filmmakers are delivering singular and timely movies shot abroad or in different languages, weaving together genres and political elements.
“Holy Spider” was based on the true story of a family man who became a serial killer and murdered sex workers in the Iranian holy city of Mashhad, while “Cairo Conspiracy” is set against the backdrop of a ruthless struggle between Egypt’s religious and political elite.

TORONTO -- British director Ben Hopkins' 37 Uses for a Dead Sheep grabbed the trophy for best feature documentary at the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival on Friday. Hopkins' portrait of the once nomadic Kirghiz tribe adjusting to life in modern Turkey was one of a string of Middle Eastern-themed films to grab prizes in Toronto. Hot Docs' juried competition saw the best short documentary prize go to Badal, Israeli director Ibtisam Ma'arana's investigation into marriage swaps, with an honorable mention going to Danish filmmaker Malene Choi Jensen's Inshallah, the story of a young Muslim woman's struggle with discrimination. The best Canadian documentary feature award went to Shelley Saywell's Martyr Street, a look at the Palestinian-Israeli conflict through the eyes of two young girls living in the occupied territories.
