Join us at the Scandinavian Cultural Center & Library for a screening of the extraordinary and deeply moving documentary The Painter and the Thief. When two of Czech artist Barbora Kysilkova’s paintings are stolen from a gallery in Oslo, she seeks out one of the thieves—not for revenge, but for understanding. What unfolds is an unexpected, tender, and profoundly human friendship that explores art, trauma, forgiveness, and connection in ways that linger long after the credits roll.
An unforgettable story of empathy and transformation, this award-winning film invites us to consider how we see one another—and what it truly means to be seen.
