The Emigrants (1971) – in Theaters July 4, 5 & 6 in Stavanger (Norway)

Rediscover the film classic The Emigrants (1971) – a powerful and visually stunning story depicting a group of Swedish farmers’ journey to America in the 19th century. A tale of courage, driven by the hope of a better life in a foreign land.

With five Academy Award nominations and an unforgettable performance by Liv Ullmann – honored with a Golden Globe – this is a rare opportunity to experience one of Nordic cinema’s greatest masterpieces on the big screen.

The film is screened as part of the Crossings Bicentennial, commemorating 200 years since the great wave of organized emigration to North America began with the Restauration voyage in 1825.

Liv Ullmann is the High Patron of the Restauration Anniversary Voyage, which sets sail from Stavanger on July 4, 2025.

Film screenings at ODEON Cinema, Sølvberget – Stavanger:

The Emigrants (1971):
- July 4 at 6:25 pm (18:25)

‍Both versions of The Emigrants, from 1971 and 2021, will be shown:
- July 5
- July 6
Offering the chance to experience two cinematic interpretations, made 50 years apart, both based on Vilhelm Moberg’s literary works.

Erik Poppe’s The Emigrants (2021) is a beautiful and poetic reinterpretation, told from a feminist perspective through Kristina’s eyes. The film covers less of the original story without losing its core, and evokes emotion, understanding, and engagement.
