SUMMARY:Maria's Paradise & The Reformist — New Nordic Virtual Cinema
DESCRIPTION:FRI—February 26 through THU—March 4\nFilm tickets $13 ($8 ASF Members)\nDouble-feature pass $20 ($12 ASF Members)\n**Members will receive an email from ASF with their discount code for all films.** \nNew Nordic Cinema at Scandinavia House returns in a virtual format! Celebrate contemporary Nordic filmmaking with us from home by catching some of the best new films in weekend sessions of contemporary feature films and documentaries. Films in the second session of the series from the week February 26 through March 4 are Maria’s Paradise /Marian paratiisi (Finland\, 2019; dir. Zaida Bergroth) and The Reformist — A Female Imam /Reformisten (Denmark\, 2019; dir. Marie Skovgard). \nIn Maria’s Paradise /Marian paratiisi\, orphaned at a young age\, Salome is among the many devoted followers of Maria Åkerblom\, a charismatic seer who claims that God visits her in her dreams. Living in a commune in a rural farmhouse\, where she spends her days looking after the younger children in the cult\, Salome has also never experienced life outside of their sheltered existence. But when one day she accompanies Maria on a trip to town\, Salome meets Malin\, an irreverent and cynical street girl who shares Salome’s motherless background\, and they develop a friendship that brings Malin to the commune. But when Malin quickly sees through Maria’s ruse\, Salome is inspired to question her leader’s teachings for the very first time. An intense\, intelligent\, and often chilling study of cults based on a scandal that took place in Finland in the 1920s\, Maria’s Paradise holds up a not-so-distant mirror to our own time\, reminding us that demagoguery — whether religious\, political\, or often a twisted combination of the two — is still very much with us. Acclaimed as an “unsettling\, nuanced\, fact-based drama” (The Hollywood Reporter) and “intriguing\, well-heeled period drama” (Screen Daily). Directed by Zaida Bergroth (110 minutes. In Finnish with English subtitles.) \nThe Reformist — A Female Imam follows Danish activist and progressive Muslim leader Sherin Khankan over her work to establish Europe’s first mosque led by female imams. Aiming to confront and challenge the fear surrounding Islam\, while calling for a new feminist agenda\, Khankan and fellow female imam Saliha Marie Fetteh opened the Mariam mosque in Copenhagen in 2016. For more than three years\, Danish director Marie Skovgard followed Khankan as she argued to reform the patriarchal interpretations of the Qu’ran\, confronting both Islamophobia and Islamic conservatism to champion that idea that the leadership of religious societies should be governed by the wisest and most knowledgeable\, regardless of gender. In creating a space to empower women in the community\, an encouraging alternate religious interpretations\, Sherin and her supporters hope to inspire change. “This well-crafted film is never less than involving and thought-provoking” (Screen Daily). Directed by Marie Skovgard (110 minutes. In Danish\, Swedish\, and Arabic with English subtitles.) \nFestival films will be available to ticket holders all over the U.S. Each session is limited to 250 tickets in an effort to preserve the intimate and communal experience. The sessions will take place over seven days (Friday — Thursday)\, with all films available for viewing on a virtual cinema screening platform throughout this period. To download viewing instructions and an FAQ\, please click here.

SUMMARY:Virtual Workshop and Studio Visit with Tero Kuitunen
DESCRIPTION:SAT—February 27—11 AM (ET) through SAT—March 6 \n*The YouTube Premiere will air from 11-11:30 AM on February 27 and remain live on this page through March 6.* \nPremiere Link\nOn Saturday\, February 27 at 11 AM ET\, join us for a workshop and a visit to Tero Kuitunen’s colorful studio in Kruununhaka\, Helsinki! A spatial and product designer\, Kuitunen has also created several curated exhibitions\, and will be one of the three artists on view in the studio exhibition Between Us at Amos Rex this spring. Through his haptic work creating handmade art and design objects\, Tero wants to find something that moves and touches people; materials and colors are often his biggest inspiration when starting a new design project. \nDuring the studio visit\, we will also learn how to make a woven wall hanging with paper yarn and craft mesh in a craft workshop! This simple but impressive technique Tero has lately applied to his design work blurs the line between art and design.

SUMMARY:The Making of a Man — Virtual Cinema
DESCRIPTION:In coordination with the March 9 panel “Masculinity & Culture — The Making of a Man” with writer/filmmaker Lo Dagerman and author Mark Greene\, Scandinavia House presents a Virtual Cinema event of Lo Dagerman’s 2019 film The Making of a Man from March 1 through 14. \nThe Making of a Man explores courage\, cowardice and toxic masculinity across time and place (postwar France\, Sweden and the contemporary U.S.). Its point of departure is a play by Swedish writer Stig Dagerman set in postwar France\, when French manhood had been badly bruised by the Nazi occupation\, and was being restored through false narratives and myth-making about French courage.
