PRISER/ AWARDS:
The Swedish National Film Award The Golden Bug for best Swedish
short film 2005.
The 2005 Cultural Scholarship given by the City of Stockholm with
the following motivation: “Maja Lindström’s film A night story clearly shows
that 3D-animation is not only suited for childrens films. The immense grief
that strikes a family is portrayed with poetry and great anticipation. It is
impossible to not be deeply moved by her film.”
A Special Mention at Nordisk Panorama - 5 cities Film Festival,
Bergen, Norway in 2005, with the following motivation: "The Special
Mention is awarded to a film that uses simple elements and manners to
express complex ideas and feelings. The soundtrack, imagery, and story-
line all work together to create an authentic atmosphere and address a
profound experience."

”Il était une fois une maman qui n'allait plus exister. Après un court hongrois totalement hermétique, nous avions donc notre premier "long-court". J'appelle comme ça les films qui font plus de 10 minutes. C'est toujours attendu de ma part avec une certaine cironspection car ça peut être long à s'ennuyer dans une salle sombre. Coup de chance, la poésie qui se dégageait de ce film consacré aux derniers instants de vie en famille d'une mère atteinde d'une maladie qu'on devine incurable a fait qu'il s'agissait d'un des meilleurs films que j'ai pu voir de la semaine.”
