Jens Lien was honoured with the Price of the City of Athens in the category Best Director with the film "The Brothersome Man" at the Opening Nights at the Athens International Film Festival.
Festival duration: 20 September - 1 October
The Bothersome Man 2006, feature:
Forty-year-old Andreas arrives in a strange city with no memory of how he got there. He is presented with a job, an apartment - even a wife. As he explores his new surroundings, Andreas realizes he has arrived in his after-life and must escape.
Sniffer 2006, short film:
In a society where everyone has the ability to fly, the citizens
anchor themselves to the ground via "gravitation boots". Devoid of sunlight and the open sky, the members of society go about their routine without any hope of personal gratification. One day, however, a man decides he has had enough attempt to challenge the status quo.
He quits his job, loosens his bindings, and literally takes off.
