Stellan Skarsgård will receive the Honorary Heart of Sarajevo tonight

In recognition of his exceptional contributions to the film industry and his remarkable acting career, Stellan Skarsgård will receive the Honorary Heart of Sarajevo at the 31st Sarajevo Film Festival tonight at 8:30 PM at the Coca-Cola Open Air Cinema.

 

Skarsgård, a longtime friend of the Sarajevo Film Festival, as well as a curator and one of the patrons of the Katrin Cartlidge Foundation - whose scholarships were awarded at the Sarajevo Film Festival - presented the foundation’s scholarship to Juanita Wilson at the Festival’s 15th edition in 2009.

 

After the presentation of the Honorary Heart of Sarajevo to Skarsgård, the movie SENTIMENTAL VALUE by Joachim Trier will be shown in the Coca-Cola Summer Cinema.

 

Sisters Nora and Agnes reunite with their estranged father, the charismatic Gustav, a once-renowned film director who offers Nora, as stage actor, a role in what he hopes will be his comeback film. When Nora turns it down, she soon discovers he’s given her part to an eager young Hollywood star. Suddenly, the two sisters must navigate their complicated relationship with their father and deal with an American dropped right into the middle of their complex family dynamics.
