THE NORDIC CENTER IN AMERICA
58 PARK AVE, NYC
VIRTUAL CINEMA — THE PAINTER AND THE THIEF
PREMIERE EVENT WITH DIRECTOR BENJAMIN REE & ARTIST BARBORA KYSILKOVA
NEW YORK, NY—Beginning May 22, 2020, Scandinavia House will debut the
virtual release of the film The Painter and the Thief! Hailed as "the
year's most moving documentary" by The Guardian and directed by Benjamin
Ree (Magnus), the film explores a unique and profound relationship
between an artist and the man who stole her work.
To kick off the virtual premiere of The Painter and the Thief this
weekend, an online event with director Benjamin Ree and artist Barbora
Kysilkova on Sunday, May 24, at 8 PM (EDT). During an online discussion
via YouTube Premiere, they will discuss the events behind the
development of the documentary, the making of the film, and the
extraordinary relationships that were built throughout.
When two paintings by Czech naturalist Barbora Kysilkova are stolen from
an Oslo art gallery, Norwegian authorities quickly identify and arrest
the two culprits, but find no trace of the paintings. When Barbora
approaches one of the thieves, Karl-Bertil Nordland, at his criminal
hearing and asks if she can paint his portrait, he agrees. What
follows—over a series of portraits and many years—is an extraordinary
story of human connection and friendship.
Virtual tickets are $3.99 for a three-day rental; half of ticket sales
will support the work of ASF + Scandinavia House.
