Emilie Kristine Blichfeldt

Emilie Kristine Blichfeldt is a promising Norwegian filmmaker known for her bold directorial debut, 'Den stygge stesøsteren' (The Ugly Stepsister), which offers a fresh take on the classic Cinderella tale, flipping the narrative to focus on the stepsister as the protagonist. Her work is characterized by a unique blend of stylistic aesthetics reminiscent of Sofia Coppola's films, while also delving into themes of beauty, body horror, and societal pressures on women. Through her storytelling, Blichfeldt challenges traditional notions of femininity and the extremes to which individuals go to conform to societal beauty standards.
