Overview:

Set in 1920, The Image Makers depicts a private screening at Svensk Filmindustri, where silent-era director Victor Sjöström presents scenes from his adaptation of Selma Lagerlöf’s The Phantom Carriage. As the Nobel Prize–winning author watches alongside cinematographer Julius Jaenzon and young actress Tora Teje, tensions emerge between generations, genders, and artistic roles, exposing the emotional costs behind creation.
