The Hunt and Land of Mine were nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 86th and the 89th Academy Awards, respectively.

The Hunt earned the Best Actor award for Mads Mikkelsen for his role at the Cannes Film Festival 2012.

The narratives of the films are captivating and varied, ranging from an ethical post-war tension between justice and vengeance or a man’s fight against wrong accusations of child abuse to the struggle for true love and the perfect relationship of young people.
