Golden Clapperboard Award

First Prize

“The film tenderly widens our senses and makes us better understand the many aspects of communication. Quiet, beautiful images from everyday life provide a poetic backdrop to the philosophical reflections on every imaginable aspect of communication. In today’s IT society it is a relief to be reminded of the simple and natural communication which has conditioned all life on earth.”

“It is a pleasure to be associated with Anna Nordqvist. We have complete faith in Anna Nordqvist’s experience as her work has been very successfully received by the thousands of teachers and hundreds of thousands of students who have been exposed to her videos.”

“The films are beautifully produced: there is enough action to indicate what these young people do … They are confident, realistic and interesting, speak clearly and convincingly …”

“This is a valuable resource from which much pleasure and language-learning can be derived.”

“Interesting young people + exciting subjects + natural everyday language = a motivating video in which the pupils get to know the Jeunes de France.”

“Jung in Deutschland turned out to be exactly the video material we were looking for: six interesting portraits of boys and girls 'next door’.”

“We think everything is interesting and excellent. It’s a good thing that there are so many different types of people, hobbies and so on. Also the language content is easy to follow. We are very content with the video.”

“...whoever directed this series has a fantastic eye for cultural detail: each episode is replete with unobtrusively presented Germanica, be it the prevalence of bicycles or the large, opaque glass panes in the interior doors.”

“This video program gives golden opportunities for Japanese students to learn about lively British young people. We are proud to introduce this vivid and up-to-date video program to Japan.”

“The six video sequences are splendid and engaging and give a good insight into English everyday life and into what makes England special.”

“Young French people beginning a new career or in the course of some activity that excites them are the subjects of this extremely well-made collection of short films.”

“….I couldn’t believe how interested my students were. In the stories of the six young persons interviewed they could see their own problems and feelings. Motivation was stronger than the language barrier.”

“It is a pleasure to work with the production company Tellus Vision AB, which has through many years of cooperation with Gyldendal Uddannelse, shown a professionalism in the field of educational videos. Tellus Vision has shown remarkable knowledge and the highest competence in the field and understanding of the special needs of an educational publisher.”

"...her educational films are more professional than all others I have seen. The high professional quality of Anna Nordqvist productions are tributes to and results of her work."

"The young people who are portrayed are likeable and at the same time interesting personalities…The variation of scenarios and human types are excellent…It doesn’t feel like ‘school material’. The films have a unique authenticity which you seldom meet in this type of educational video. We appreciate Junge Leute and think it is very good indeed."
