Herdswoman awarded in Lübeck, Germany
Herdswoman was awarded with the Documentary Film Prize at the 50th Nordic Film Days in Lübeck.
Statement of the Jury
The Documentary Film Prize goes to the
Swedish documentary film "Herdswoman" by Kine Boman. The ongoing
conflict between Sami traditions and profit-oriented modern Sweden
serves to portray a civilization threatened to sink into oblivion. By
means of striking images and sounds, director Kine Bomann successfully
depicts the struggle of the Sami people for their culture and their
living space. Hopefully, the prize will encourage her to further pursue
the topic and keep up her commitment for this minority.

The participants
Lisa likens the meeting between the Sami and the non-Sami world to a couple of soap bubbles touching each other. Both are beautiful, they are together, but there will always be a divide, a boundary between them.
The film makers
The director Kine Boman has been engaged professionally in documentary filming since 2001. Her first own documentary was The Only Image of My Father, first presented at the Göteborg International Film Festival 2004.
