Sebastian Stan introduced Fjord at Alice Tully Hall and joined director Cristian Mungiu for a Q&A. The film hits theaters Oct. 9.
Fjord, starring Sebastian Stan and directed by Cristian Mungiu, screened at the New York Film Festival at Alice Tully Hall, according to Variety. Stan introduced the film before the screening, speaking about judgment, belief systems and compassion, and he and Mungiu took part in a Q&A afterward.
The film arrives in New York with a major festival prize behind it: Fjord won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival in May and received a 10-minute standing ovation there. The Cannes win gave Neon its 7th consecutive Palme d'Or.
The New York stop carried personal weight for Stan. A decade ago, he and his mother attended the New York Film Festival premiere of Mungiu's 2016 film Graduation in the same room. Stan was born in Romania and immigrated to the United States at 12.
