France Hosts Inaugural ‘Vision Nordiques’ Festival With a 17-Title Selection
Berlinale Golden Bear winning 'Dreams (Sex Love)' was one of the 17 films which had their French premiere at the inaugural festival Visions Nordiques.
Tributes were hosted for Lars von Trier and Aki Kaurismäki with the screenings of “Breaking the Waves” and “Le Havre.” The film lineup comprised Baltasar Kormákur’s “Touch,” Eirik Svensson’s “Safe House,” Lilja Ingolfsdottir’s “Loveable,” and Frida Kempff’s “The Swedish Topedo,” among others. Joachim Trier’s “Sentimental Value” and Tarik Saleh’s “Eagles Of The Republic” were also partly financed in France and are expected to world premiere in the festival circuit later this year. Erlingsson said the panels, case studies, and co-production workshops that are being organized as part of the event “aim to forge new connections between Nordic and French filmmakers.” “Together, we’ll explore distribution systems, filmmaker support, and our shared commitment to environmental sustainability in film production.”
