She now lives in Canada, but Torill Kove had a long list of people in Noway to thank as she grasped the first Oscar won by a Norwegian since Thor Heyerdahl's Kon Tiki snatched the award for best documentary in 1952.
She won for her direction of a short animated film called "The Danish Poet"
Produced by Lise Fearnley and Marcy Page for Norway’s Mikrofilm and the National Film Board of Canada, the 15-minute is the story of Kaspar, a poet whose creative well has run dry, who embarks on a holiday to Norway. On the way his quest for inspiration is supported by a spell of bad weather, angry dogs, cows that slip from barn planks, careless postmen, hungry goats and other seemingly unrelated factors.
