TFF: Sentimental Value (MA 15+)

Winner, Cannes Grand Prix. Joachim Trier and Renate Reinsve reunite following The Worst Person in the World in this intimate family drama about the power of art. Stellan Skarsgård and Elle Fanning also contribute to an excellent ensemble cast.

Nora (Reinsve), an accomplished stage actress, reunites with her estranged father, the once-revered director Gustav (Skarsgård). He asks Nora to take the lead role in a new, deeply personal film. In anger over his past abandonment of her and her sister, Nora declines. He instead casts eager Hollywood star Rachel Kemp (Fanning), and begins work on the ambitious and risky film. But filial connections run deep, and the personal and the artistic intersect in this profound, funny and deeply moving film.

Includes a screening of the short film Baggage, directed by Lucy Davidson.

A charming stop-motion animation about three girlfriends checking in at the airport, but one is carrying more emotional baggage than the others. SXSW 2025.

Cast: Renate Reinsve, Stellan Skarsgård, Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, Elle Fanning

"Uncommonly rich in emotional rewards... The movie’s poignancy accumulates gradually, every supple turn expertly modulated as the presence of generations past becomes more tangible." HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

"Yet another rich and humane look at existence from a filmmaker wise to the endless nuance of being a person in the world, for better or worst." VANITY FAIR
