Connection
Joachim Trier is a Director, Scriptwriter and Associate Producer Norvegien born on 30 september 1974 at Copenhagen (Danemark)
Joachim Trier (born 1974) is a Norwegian film director raised in Oslo, Norway. His father Jacob Trier was the sound technician of Pinchcliffe Grand Prix, the most notable film produced in Norway. His film making career derives mainly from his mother, who was a short film maker and from Lars von Trier, a famous Danish director to whom he is distantly related.
His debut film Reprise follows the story of two aspiring writers and their volatile relationship. Released by Miramax films in 2006, it received several national awards, including the Amanda Award and the Aamot Statuette, as well as international recognition, with prizes at film festivals in Toronto, Istanbul, Rotterdam, Milano and Karlovy Vary, and led him to be named one of Variety's "10 Directors to Watch" in 2007.
As a teenager, he was a top skateboarder who began shooting and producing his own skateboarding videos. His passion for film making furthered in his early twenties and this ultimately lead to his studies at the European Film College in Ebeltoft from 1995–1996 and at the UK's National Film & Television School. In an interview with phase9 TV, Trier expressed that his future projects would pertain mainly to his personal interests. His films focus primarily on memory and identity, which he regards as essential themes for cinema. In the same interview with phase9 TV, Trier stated that he has been offered positions by big studio film corporations, but is reluctant to accept such offers and wants to continue making films that depict personal and meaningful beliefs.
His latest film Oslo, August 31st premiered in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival. Regarded as an adaptation of Louis Malle's The Fire Within, the film's original plot is shifted from the location of Paris to Oslo. This was done to create a modern-day feel so audiences could establish an emotional connection to the film. The film received critical acclaim and was featured on several critics' 2012 top 10 lists. Oslo, August 31st became one of three films on the Norwegian shortlist for submissions to the 84th Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film.
Son second long-métrage, Oslo, 31 août a été présenté au Festival de Cannes 2011 dans la catégorie Un certain regard.
Lors du Festival de Cannes 2014 il est membre du jury de la section Cinéfondation et courts métrages sous la présidence d'Abbas Kiarostami.
En 2015, il sort Plus fort que les bombes avec notamment Isabelle Huppert, Jesse Eisenberg et Gabriel Byrne. Le tournage avait débuté à l'automne 2014. Plus fort que les bombes (Louder Than Bombs) est en sélection officielle au Festival de Cannes 2015.

Two 23-year-olds, Erik and Phillip, dream of becoming successful writers. They idolize the reclusive writer Sten Egil Dahl (a character modelled on Tor Ulven). When they both try to get a manuscript published, Erik's is rejected. Phillip's, on the other hand, is accepted and he becomes a star of the Norwegian literary scene overnight. Phillip meets Kari, with whom he falls in love after inviting her on a trip to Paris. Six months later, Erik and his friends pick up Phillip at a psychiatric hospital to bring him home after a long treatment for his psychosis that was triggered by his obsessive love for Kari. Erik still hasn't given up his dream, but Phillip isn't able to write anymore, although his friend encourages him to make a new effort. Instead Phillip tries to get his ruined relationship with Kari to start from the beginning again by going to Paris again and imitating their first trip, but Philip realises he doesn't love Kari anymore and they go their separate ways.
