Join us on March 14 & 15 for the festival West Nordic Film Days, a celebration of cinema from Greenland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands! Presented in partnership with Nordic National Museum in Seattle, in-person screenings will take place at Scandinavia House in New York and Majestic Bay Theatres in Seattle on Friday and Saturday. Curated by Birgir Thor Møller, the selection of films at West Nordic Film Days reflect the current development and tendencies in West Nordic cinema as well as the diversity, combining films by prolific, prizewinning directors and upcoming filmmakers, who all live in and tell their stories from very different parts of the region.
The 6:30 PM afternoon session on Saturday, March 15 will include the Greenlandic feature film Inngili Qernertoq (The Black Angel, dir. Malik Kleist, 2024) and the Greenlandic short film 12 Minutes (dir. Christoffer Rizvanovic Stenbakken, 2024).
Inspired by The Blair Witch Project, Inngili Qernertoq juxtaposes personal and comical footage with creepy horror as investigators discover video recordings from a group of friends who have gone missing in the mountains near Nuuk. And in the black-and-white short 12 Minutes, a couple wake up one night to discover their drug-addicted son in the house, and must make a difficult decision.
