Alicia Vikander

2018

Actor

It’s impossible to miss that Alicia Vikander is a shining star on both the Swedish and international film scenes. Many first took notice of the young star in Lisa Langseth’s Pure (2010), and not long after, her career took her to Hollywood. Starting with smaller roles, she eventually landed leading parts in major films such as Ex Machina (2014) and The Danish Girl (2015), for which she won an Academy Award. Alicia Vikander previously visited the festival in 2013 with A Royal Affair.

For the 2018 festival, we were delighted to welcome Alicia Vikander back to Gothenburg. Göteborg Film Festival proudly presented the 2018 Nordic Honorary Dragon Award to Alicia Vikander. She attended the festival to accept the honorary award and to be present at the Nordic premiere of Lisa Langseth’s Euphoria, which competed in the Nordic Competition.

– “It feels incredibly special to be honoured by the festival and to receive this award at the same time as Euphoria finally reaches the Swedish audience,” said Alicia Vikander.
