Joachim Trier’s cinema is an invitation to explore Norwegian culture, and makes us to discover Oslo and its contemporary art scene. What’s more, he tackles Norwegian social issues that have an international echo: the issues of sexuality today, our relationship with drink or melancholy, freedom of expression and lifestyle choices, etc. In this regard, he has developed one of the finest artworks to catch the urban individual.
Furthermore, Trier is also a filmmaker, whose tradition is rooted in the French auteurism. His work constantly refers to French literary works or films. It is therefore impossible to penetrate his cinema without Paris and France. Trier has a detailed knowledge of French art and literature, while at the same time being a keen observer of his Norwegian contemporaries. In this way, his films establish a dialogue between the two cultures, which deserves to be highlighted and discussed with him. It seems to us that Trier has a lot to say about French culture and that it is time for the Norwegian view of it to be valued. In this respect, Trier is a Norwegian filmmaker in every sense of the word, but he is also the most French of them all. Our project aims to make Joachim Trier better known in France, and to open up the French public to the discovery of Norway through his cinema. To this regard, we aim to showcase this much-loved but still mysterious filmmaker to the French public.
This international conference is an opportunity to bring together a group of international experts in Paris. This event is also the occasion to discuss with Eskil Vogt, Joachim Trier’s screenwriter and himself a filmmaker, about the contemporary norwegian auteur cinema and its importance within the nordic cinema.
