The Scandinavian Pre-Oscar Party 2014

Back

2014-03-10 By SACC LA

The Scandinavian Pre-Oscar Party 2014 turned out to be a great success and we are so happy that so many known and new faces joined us!  Over 300 guests came to celebrate Scandinavian film and the Oscars at Jack Rutberg Fine Arts Gallery.  After the guests had arrived and had their picture taken on the red carpet they entered the gallery and enjoyed a lovely evening of mingling and nibbling on the Swedish inspired hors d’oeuvres that were served.

SACC-LA’s guests had the opportunity to get a preview of the amazing art exhibition “Twin Visions – Jerome Witkin & Joel-Peter Witkin” that is on display at Jack Rutberg Fine Arts starting Saturday, March 1st.

Among the attendees we also had a few Oscar nominees that will be representing Scandinavia on Sunday.  The Co-Producers Jessica Ask and Madeleine Ekman from the Danish movie “The Hunt” joined us and celebrated their nomination in the Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film.  The team behind “The Hunt” has already received a large number of awards, for instance won a Golden Globe in the category Best Foreign Language Film and the leading actor, Mads Mikkelsen, was awarded for Best Actor in both Cannes Film Festival and Palm Springs International Film Festival.

The Silent Auction, which is a recurring and greatly appreciated part of our events turned out to be a hit yet again.  We would like to give an extra thanks to our Silent Auction sponsors.
