Summary
Faroese producer Jón Hammer joins Nordic Film Talks to discuss making history with The Last Paradise on Earth — the first Faroese film to win the Nordic Council Film Prize. He reflects on the film’s message, the rapid growth of Faroese filmmaking, and his own path from Zentropa to building Outlier Projects. Hammer also shares insights from international shoots like No Time To Die and How To Train Your Dragon, the rise of new Faroese talents, and his current work on Tea Lindeburg’s The Seal Woman. Plus: how tourism shapes culture, why documentaries matter, and what’s next for storytelling from the Faroe Islands.
