Michael Noer (b. 1978) is a graduate of the National Film School in Denmark (2003). He was already earning kudos for his documentaries, which he has been making since 2005. As in his two feature films to date, his documentary work also primarily focuses on young people. He embarked on feature filmmaking with the prison drama R (2010), which he co-directed with Tobias Lindholm. The film was a success at numerous festivals, including KVIFF, and it was also nominated for a Lux Award, presented by the European Parliament. Noer’s second feature Northwest was also well received, like his debut R winning the FIPRESCI Prize at the Göteborg IFF. Filmography: En rem af huden (2003), Mimis sidste valg (2005), Hawaii (2006), Jorden under mine fødder (2006), Vesterbro (2007), De vilde hjerter (2008), R (2010), Son of God (2010), and Northwest (2013).
