Sentimental Value wins Oscar for Best International Feature Film

Sentimental Value is directed by Joachim Trier, who also wrote the screenplay together with Eskil Vogt. The film is produced by Mer Film and Eye Eye Pictures in co-production with Film i Väst, Zentropa, Zentropa Sweden, MK Productions, Lumen Production and Komplizen Film. Parts of the film were shot in Västra Götaland (Strömstad) in Sweden, and regional company VP Nordic served as the virtual production provider.

“It is fantastic to see Sentimental Value win an Oscar. We congratulate everyone involved in the film. For us at Film i Väst, it is a great source of pride to be co-producers and to be part of the film’s journey together with such strong creative forces in the Nordic region,” says Kristina Börjeson, Head of Production at Film i Väst.

Sentimental Value had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Grand Prix, and has since received major international recognition, including eight nominations at the European Film Awards (winning six), nine Golden Globe nominations (with Stellan Skarsgård winning Best Supporting Actor), and eight BAFTA nominations (winning Best Film Not in the English Language).
