That Trier continues to make films in Oslo is something we should truly cherish and highlight – for both the art of cinema and the love of Oslo. For Oslo Pix Film Festival, it’s a major event to host the Norwegian premiere of SENTIMENTAL VALUE, and we are proud to invite audiences to experience the film here first after its Cannes success.»

Theatrical release in September
The film is produced by Mer Film and Eye Eye Pictures, will premiere in Norwegian cinemas on 12.09, and is distributed by Nordisk Film Distribusjon.
Producer Maria Ekerhovd (Mer Film) says:
«We are incredibly happy to present SENTIMENTAL VALUE for the first time in Norway at Oslo Pix. It truly feels like the film is coming home to Oslo, where it was made and where the story takes place. We're also thrilled that all of Oslo is invited to Trier’s Oslo through outdoor screenings at St. Hanshaugen. I personally look forward to watching all the films in succession!»
Oslo Municipality has supported the outdoor cinema at St. Hanshaugen, making it possible for the city's residents to experience Trier’s Oslo universe entirely free, under the open sky, at the beautiful park stage in the heart of the park.
«Joachim Trier offers a unique and recognizable portrait of Oslo – poignant, beautiful, and intimate. That the city's residents now get to experience these films outdoors at St. Hanshaugen is a brilliant example of how Oslo Municipality’s urban life grants can be used to make art and culture accessible to all. A lovely finale to a ‘Joachim Trier Summer’ in the city,»
Says Commissioner for Culture, Anita Leirvik North (H).
