The internationally acclaimed director Niki Lindroth von Bahr joins the PINE roster.
Lindroth von Bahr, with a past in set-design and fine arts, is all about the craft and builds her films by hand. She frequently uses animal characters to explore various aspects of the modern human society.
Her work has screened at premier festivals like Cannes, Berlin, Toronto and Sundance. Notably, her short film The Burden won 85 awards and was named one of the 100 best short films ever made. She also directed a BAFTA-nominated segment of Netflix´s The House and her latest film, The End (2026) premiered in competition at Cannes.
"We have admired Niki’s work for a long time. She is one of those rare filmmakers who has created a universe entirely her own, both visually and narratively. There is an incredible precision, warmth, and humour in her work, but also a courage to be strange and uncomfortable at the same time”, says PINE´s co-founder and executive producer Adam Holmström Meinking.
"I am really looking forward to working with PINE, both on the commercial side and with other creative projects. It also feels inspiring to be in the company of their awesome roster of directors. I hope we’ll get up to a lot of fun things together moving forward.”, comments Lindroth von Bahr.
Meinking adds: "I also feel that her tactile expression and uncompromising craftsmanship are particularly relevant at a time when AI and digital creation are taking up more and more space. There is something deeply human and valuable about building worlds and telling stories with your hands. For us at PINE, it’s all about working with directors who possess a powerful, distinct voice, and Niki is truly something special in that regard. We are incredibly excited to welcome her to the team”.
