Silja Hauksdóttir). 92 min. In Icelandic with English subtitles.\nSee the trailer \nTrapped in a job she hates and a marriage that’s slowly dying\, Rannveig’s burnout on her mundane suburban life is complicated by fights with her rebellious daughter Agnes\, along with the impending likelihood that Agnes will soon grow up and leave her behind. For Agnes\, making her own way in the world means finding a way to escape the tension at home\, and experiencing freedom for herself. When a handsome new neighbor\, Hreinn\, shows up on their doorstep\, both mother and daughter have an exciting new distraction from their issues. But when he begins to charm them both and develop different attachments to each\, Rannveig and Agnes must navigate a whole new set of challenges. \n“Simple and plain\, but yet so overwhelmingly vast and deep that one is without words… Amazing.”—Fréttablaðið \nAnother Round/Druk (Denmark\, 2020; dir. Thomas Vinterberg). 115 min. In Danish with English subtitles.\nSee the trailer \nFour friends\, all teachers at various stages of middle age\, are stuck in a rut. Unable to share their passions either at school or at home\, they embark on an audacious experiment from an obscure philosopher: to see if a constant level of alcohol in their blood will help them find greater freedom and happiness. At first they each find a new-found zest\, but as the gang pushes their experiment further\, issues that have been simmering for years come to a head and the men are faced with a choice: reckon with their behavior or continue on the same course. \nUnderscored by delicate and affecting camerawork\, director Thomas Vinterberg’s spry script\, co-written with regular collaborator Tobias Lindholm\, uses this bold premise to explore the euphoria and pain of an unbridled life. Playing a once brilliant but now world-weary shell of a man\, the ever surprising Mads Mikkelsen delivers a fierce and touching performance. \n“Thomas Vinterberg’s absorbing dark comedy turns into a lively and fascinating referendum on booze\, with Mads Mikkelsen’s fierce and unsettling performance vibrating at its center.”—IndieWire; “Thomas Vinterberg has made a truly wonderful movie about trying to come to grips with life\, anchored by terrific performances from Mads Mikkelsen\, Thomas Bo Larsen\, Magnus Millang\, and Lars Ranthe. It’s funny\, and gutting\, and great.”—Vox; “One of the director’s most absorbing works”—The New Yorker \nBlizzard of Souls /Dvēseļu putenis (Latvia\, 2019; dir. Dzintars Dreibergs). 120 minutes. In Latvian with English subtitles.\nSee the trailer \nAfter witnessing the death of his mother at the hands of invading Germans\, 16-year-old Artūrs\, together with his father\, decides to enlist in the national Latvian Riflemen battalions of the Imperial Russian army\, hoping for revenge and glory. Though he is underage\, Artūrs goes on with his father and brother to fight in World War I\, where the thrill of training is soon followed by reality\, as the shells burst around them and their lives are constantly in jeopardy. Adapted from the book by Aleksandrs Grins\, which was banned in the U.S.S.R.\, the story was based on Grins’ own war experiences in a Latvian battalion\, and has been the biggest box office success in Latvia in the past 30 years. Blizzard of Souls pays stark witness to the horrors and brutality of the First World War\, as seen through the eyes of an innocent 17-year-old farm-boy turned soldier. \n“Atmospheric cinematography…A more realistic 1917″—The Hollywood Reporter \nThe Last Ones /Viimased (Estonia/Finland\, 2020; dir. Veiko Õunpuu). 117 minutes. In Finnish with English subtitles.\nSee the trailer\nSupported by the Estonian Ministry of Culture \nA Nordic western set in the untamed Lapland tundra\, The Last Ones follows young miner Rupi\, who hopes to scrape together enough money escape the suffocating dust of his village. But when work comes to a halt after Rupi’s reindeer herder father refuses to sell his land — and when the manipulative mine owner sets aims on the wife of Rupi’s friend\, whom Rupi is also secretly in love with — life in the mining village becomes more dangerous day by day\, forcing him to examine where and to whom he belongs. Is it the tundra of his forefathers\, or the cold terrain of personal gain? With Veiko Õunpuu’s characteristic crispness\, The Last Ones explores the messiness of human nature and fate. \n“Vividly conveys a sense of place and of a faltering way of life…a naturalistic account of the hard-partying\, hard-working mining community”—ScreenDaily \nMy Dear Corpses/Mu kallid laibad (Estonia\, 2020; dir. German Golub). 34 min. In Estonian and Russian with English subtitles.\nScreening with The Last Ones \nUnexpectedly evicted from his house\, Erki faces a rather difficult task to take care of his lonely mother: becoming a corpse carrier. But the situation is about to get a whole lot worse\, as Erki meets a new colleague who sees the job as just another day in the field. Made by Baltic Film\, Media\, Arts and Communication School students\, My Dear Corpses was a gold medal winner at the Student Academy Awards.

SUMMARY:Virtual Book Talk — The Women I Think About at Night With Mia Kankimäki & Heli Serviö
DESCRIPTION:TUE—January 7—1 PM ET \n*This program will take place as a virtual event* \nOn January 7\, Mia Kankimäki joins us for a book talk of her The Women I Think About at Night: Traveling the Paths of My Heroes\, out now in translation by Douglas Robinson! With moderator Heli Serviö\, Mia Kankimäki will discuss her new novel blending travelogue\, memoir\, and biography as she recounts her travels around the world to retrace the steps of ten remarkable female pioneers from history. \nBored with her life and feeling stuck in her mid-40s\, Mia Kankimäki decided to leave her job\, sell her apartment\, and travel the world to follow the paths of  female explorers and artists from history who inspired her. From Tanzania and Kenya\, she sought out the location where Karen Blixen of Out of Africa lived in the 1920s;  in Japan\, Mia attempted to cure her depression while researching famed contemporary artist Yayoi Kusama\, who has voluntarily lived in a psychiatric hospital for decades. In Italy\, Mia searched for the works of forgotten Renaissance women painters of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence\, finally finding  her heroines in the portraits of Sofonisba Anguissola\, Lavinia Fontana\, and Artemisia Gentileschi. If these women could make it in the world hundreds of years ago\, why can’t Mia? \nThe Women I Think About at Night is part travelogue and part thrilling exploration of the lost women adventurers of history who defied expectations in order to see—and change—the world. \nThe event will take place as a Zoom webinar; please ask questions in the chat or send them in advance to  info@amscan.org. Registration is required; please sign up at the link above. The book was released on November 10 from Simon & Schuster. Mia Kankimäki is represented by Elina Ahlback Literary Agency and her book will be published in 17 languages; read more and see how to purchase here. \nRegister
