Favorite movies:Howl's Moving Castle, Princess Mononoke, Battle Royale, Chungking Express, House of Flying Daggers, and the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Morten Helland
BOARD MEMBER
Freelance filmmaker who works mostly with sound, but also likes to write scripts. He tries to watch at least one movie every day. More if he can. Writes music almost every day (When he's not watching movies). And apparently he also tends to watch too many films at festivals after receiving some nasty letters from his body and eyes the following week.
It doesn't matter what genre a film is or where it comes from.
If he likes it, he likes it, but it's mostly style over substance.
Favorite directors:Park Chan-Wook, Nakashima Tetsuya, Edgar Wright, Hélène Cattet & Bruno Forzani
Favorite movies:Oldboy (2003 of course), Confessions, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, Synecdoche New York, Let the Corpses Tan

Alexander Bucsis
FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE
Alexander grew up between Norway, England and Canada. He has been interested in films since childhood, boasting an impressive collection of VHS tapes. As a teenager, his view of, and interest in, film was greatly expanded upon discovering The Criterion Collection, which introduced him to names such as Ingmar Bergman, Jean-Luc Godard and Andrei Tarkovsky. Since then, his interest in more esoteric and niche films has only grown, but he can still find joy in a good genre film or bad B-movie. He is both educated and works in economics.
Favorite directors:Stanley Kubrick, Ingmar Bergman, Luis Buñuel, Michael Haneke, Paul Thomas Anderson, Aki Kaurismäki
Favorite movies: Persona, Eraserhead, Vivre Sa Vie, Mirror, Berlin Alexanderplatz, Barry Lyndon, Come And See
