Jeppe Ronde’s next film Acts Of Love has won the best project award in the Nordic Co-Production Market at Haugesund’s New Nordic Films.

Ronde co-writes the script with Christopher Grøndahl.

The industry audience – 300 people both onsite and online – voted on the winner.

Julie Walenciak and Maria Møller Christoffersen will produce Acts Of Love for Paloma Pictures.

They are aiming for an autumn 2022 shoot at a convent on the west coast of Denmark. The film already has backing from Danish Film Institute and West Danish Film Fund.

Ronde’s first fiction feature, the Wales-set teenage suicide drama Bridgend, screened in Rotterdam and won three awards at Tribeca.
