2024 Sundance Film Festival Predictions: Johanna Pyykkö’s Ebba

After not shoring up at Cannes or Venice this year, we are now leaning towards the belief that Johanna Pyykkö might be considering early 2024 film festival launch a la Sundance, Rotterdam and/or Berlin. A much anticipated directorial debut, production on Ebba took place in July of 2022. The Swedish filmmaker living in Norway was a former assistant to Joachim Trier. This project was co-written along with Jørgen Færøy Flasnes.

Gist: A lonely 18-year-old finds a wounded man in the Oslo harbour. When she discovers he has amnesia, she lies and tells him they are lovers.

Production Co./Producers: Eye Eye Pictures’ Dyveke Bjørkly Graver and Andrea Berentsen Ottmar.

Prediction: World Cinema Dramatic Competition.

Sales: TBD.
