Mia Hansen-Løve Will Head the Nordic Competition Jury at Göteborg Film Festival

Hansen-Løve

Mia Hansen-Løve is headed to the Göteborg Film Festival. The French writer-director has been tapped to serve as head the jury of the Nordic competition at the 43rd edition of the fest, a press release announced. Other jurors include Danish producer Marianne Slot (“Woman at War”) and Swedish filmmaker Sofia Norlin (“Broken Hill Blues”).

Eight films are competing in the Nordic Competition. The titles will be unveiled January 7.

Hansen-Løve won the Silver Bear for best director at the 2016 Berlinale for Isabelle Huppert-starrer “Things to Come.” “Maya,” “Eden,” and “Goodbye First Love” are among her other features. She’s currently working on her English-language debut, “Bergman Island.” The drama centers on a couple who travel to an island that served as inspiration for Ingmar Bergman in order to work on their respective screenplays. Mia Wasikowska, Vicky Krieps, and Tim Roth star.

“When I was in my 20s, I was completely lost in life. Realizing I wanted to make films gave me strength. Because film-making is a perpetual questioning of existence,” Hansen-Løve has said. “What is beauty? Why am I living? And I need that, I think, perhaps because of being the daughter of two philosophy teachers.”
