SUMMARY:Aalto — New Nordic Virtual Cinema Week 8
DESCRIPTION:New Nordic Cinema at Scandinavia House returns in a virtual format! Celebrate contemporary Nordic filmmaking with us from home in week-long sessions of contemporary feature films and documentaries. The eighth session of the series from April 9 through 15 features the film Aalto (dir. Virpi Suutari; 2020\, Finland)\, a documentary and love story of Finnish modern architecture/design masters Alvar and Aino Aalto\, and an enchanting journey to their creations and influence around the world. Director Virpi Suutari will join us for a virtual film talk with Peter Reed (former Senior Deputy Director for Curatorial Affairs\, MoMA) in coordination with the screenings; please check back here for more details closer to the date. \nAalto tells the story of Alvar and Aino Aalto\, a couple who shared their lives and great passion for the organic human-scale architecture. Together they worked to create a better and a more democratic modern world; in their philosophy\, the “little human” was always in the center. In 1949\, Alvar suffered the great tragedy of Aino’s death; he later married the architect Elissa Aalto\, and experienced one of his most significant periods throughout the 1950s\, continuing to work until he died in 1976. \nThe film shares for the first time Alvar and Aino’s intimate love story\, highlighting Aino’s importance as an equal architect colleague and visionary designer\, and takes us on a cinematic tour of their creative processes and iconic buildings\, including a library in Russia\, a student dormitory at MIT\, an art collector’s private house near Paris\, and a pavilion in Venice. Combining contemporary film material and rare unforeseen archives\, Aalto dives into the colorful history of modernism\, where we also meet the Rockefellers\, Le Corbusier and László Moholy-Nagy\, with narration both from the designers’ contemporaries and from researchers throughout the world. (102 min. In Finnish 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:My Friend Natalia — Virtual Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:On April 10\, join us for a book talk with Laura Linstedt and translator David Hackston on My Friend Natalia\, the author’s U.S. debut\, available from Liveright Publishing on March 23\, 2021. \n My Friend Natalia is a linguistic sexual thriller centered on one woman’s potent affliction: Natalia cannot stop thinking about sex. The unnamed\, ungendered therapist who narrates the novel has leapt at the chance to employ their most experimental methods — “Something flared within me\,” the therapist notes. “And it wasn’t exclusively sympathy…? It was more like a sudden experience of harmony\, wholly inappropriate given the circumstances” — combining philosophy and literature\, repressed childhood memories and explicitly unrepressed erotic experiences\, through sessions that quickly shed all inhibitions. But it is clear from the moment that Natalia steps into her new therapist’s office that she has motives beyond simply fixing her sex life; and as tension percolates\, the therapist can’t shake the question: What does Natalia really want? \nIn prose that prickles with sharp banter and double entendres as the therapist hurls strange—and hilarious—experimental exercises at Natalia\, building to an explosive climax\, My Friend Natalia presents a gripping examination of the power dynamics always present but rarely ever spoken about in therapy and sexuality. \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. To learn more about the book and see how to purchase\, please click here. \n“Smart\, dark\, funny\, and weirdly exhilarating\, Laura Lindstedt’s My Friend Natalia is both pitched on the brink and absolutely alive. An absorbing discourse of sex\, power\, and boundaries\, in sentences that lift like music”—Paul Lisicky (Later: My Life at the Edge of the World) \n“I was tremendously impressed by My Friend Natalia . . . Lindstedt has a very Finnish take on sophistication (downbeat\, deadpan)\, is disconcerting\, dissonant\, peerless in deferred resolution\, a blithe dissolver of the regular association of ideas”—Helen DeWitt (Some Trick: Thirteen Stories)
