Actors Talk: Sidse Babett Knudsen

The festival's most talked about directors and actors discuss film, career, and art. The talks are moderated by programme committee.

This year's Nordic Honorary Award recipient had already trained in Paris, performed experimental theater in Copenhagen, and revitalized the Danish comedy tradition with accurate portrayals of women when her masterful portrayal of Prime Minister Birgitte Nyborg in Borgen made her an international star. With works such as After the Wedding, The Woman from Brest, The Duke of Burgundy, and Westworld, she is one of the great Nordic actresses of her generation, currently featured in a chilling portrayal of a headmistress in Jessica Hausner's Club Zero.

The discussion takes place in connection with the presentation of the Nordic Honorary Dragon Award and the red carpet screening of Club Zero. A ticket for the film is required.

Moderator: Tobias Åkesson
