Description

Let's explore Scandinavia together!

Following our Finnish, Danish and Icelandic Cineclubs, we are adding another country: NORWAY.

In collaboration with the Embassy of Norway, we're happy to screen The Painter and the Thief by Benjamin Ree (107’) at 7pm on the 11th of February.

The film has been awarded 11 prizes, including the London Film Fest 2020.

The sheer audacity of the theft of artist Barbora Kysilkova’s enormous paintings from the windows of an Oslo gallery immediately piqued documentarian Benjamin Ree’s interest.

Neither he, Kysilkova nor the perpetrators could have predicted what happened next. During the trial Kysilkova asked one of the accused why he took the paintings: Karl-Bertil Nordland answered ‘Because they were beautiful’.

An exciting Q&A with artist Barbora Kysilkova will be on ZOOM, right after the screening at 9pm.

The film is part of the BFI Player Rental, £4.50, but you can still take advantage of the BFI free subscription trial.
