Bent Hamer

Norwegian director, born in 1956 in Sandefjord. He studied literature and film science at the University of Stockholm and took courses at the Stockholm film School. Since his graduation in 1989 he has filmed a number of shorts. His first feature-length film, Eggs, received a series of festival awards. Hamer also won international acclaim with his comedy Kitchen Stories (winner of the FIPRESCI Prize at Toronto in 2003) and the film Faktotum based on the novel by Charles Bukowski.
