From her West London flat, Danish-Irish actress CLARA RUGAARD, known especially for her roles in I Am Mother (2019) and Black Mirror (2023), talks about her latest project The Crow Girl. Having worked internationally, Clara reflects on the pressure she felt coming from a bilingual family and being hard to categorize, but her love of storytelling, of relating to characters, and being surrounded by creatives, has kept her firmly committed to the film and television industry and to the art of acting.

Clara selects a work by P.C. Skovgaard from the SMK collection.
