Sentimental Value w/ Joachim Trier, Stellan Skarsgård, Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas & Elle Fanning

On January 14, 2026, the makers of the Oscar-nominated Norwegian film SENTIMENTAL VALUE joined us for a special film panel: director Joachim Trier and actors Stellan Skarsgård, Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, and Elle Fanning, moderated by Amy Ryan. Beginning from Joachim Trier's richly rendered, intimate scope of the film — inspired by his own upbringing in a family of filmmakers — the panelists explored the film's fraught family dynamics and intergenerational trauma, drawing from their personal backgrounds and strong relationships with their co-stars. They also discussed the film's subversion of Norwegian and American cultural pitfalls; its balancing act of grief and humor; and the state of "human stories" in modern filmmaking.
