Jon Are Uhnger

Norwegian visionary, Jon Are Uhnger, was born in 1978 in the charming town of Lillehammer, Norway. He has been actively creating cinematic masterpieces since the early 2000s, majorly in the genres of drama and arthouse, with his most notable films being "In the Shadow of the Midnight Sun" and "Chasing Northern Lights", both of which garnered critical acclaim but unfortunately did not bag awards at major film festivals. His authorial style is characterized by a stark and emotional realism, often using the breathtaking landscapes of his native Norway as a backdrop to his deeply human narratives.

For those who know Jon Are Uhnger, they would agree that his films are a direct reflection of the man himself - introspective, poignant and beautifully raw.
