SUMMARY:Virtual Cinema — The County
DESCRIPTION:From April 15 through 18\, see virtual screenings of the new film The County /Héraðið (Iceland\, 2019)\, available to audiences throughout the U.S. Screenings are co-presented by Scandinavia House with National Nordic Museum & Scandinavian Film Festival of Los Angeles. \nSet in a small Icelandic farming community\, The County tells the story of Inga\, a middle-aged dairy farmer who rebels against the monopolistic practices of the Erpsfjörður\, a powerful local farming cooperative. After launching a one-person battle\, Inga attempts to persuade other farmers join her in rising up against the cooperative’s corruption\, but encounters great resistance\, forcing her to confront the community’s dependence and loyalty to its single\, dominant enterprise. To break free of the cooperative’s grasp\, Inga must use her resourcefulness and cunning to finally live life on her own terms. (Directed by Grímur Hákonarson; 92 min. In Icelandic with English subtitles.) Special thanks to Dekanalog. \n“(An) audience-pleasing\, humanist drama… Full of feisty female energy and imagery\, and sprinkled with rousing “you go girl!” comic moments”—Variety \n“Egilsdóttir is fantastic in the lead role thanks to a relatable mixture of futility working a tireless job and ferocity… The County shows that it only takes one person to beat the drum for change to occur”—The Film Stage \nScreenings will take place over four days (Thursday – Sunday) and will be available for viewing on a virtual cinema screening platform throughout this period. Members can now access discounted pricing automatically by logging in to Elevent with the email address associated with their membership; contact mem@amscan.org with any questions. National Nordic Museum members will receive their discount code separately by the museum.

SUMMARY:Big Heart\, Strong Hands — Virtual Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:On April 17\, American-Scandinavian Foundation invites you to a virtual talk with photographer Anne Helene Gjelstad on her documentary book Big Heart\, Strong Hands\, out now from Dewi Lewis Publishing. She will be joined by moderator & photographer Erika Larsen (Sàmi: Walking with Reindeer).  \nBig Heart\, Strong Hands is the story of the women on the Estonian islands Kihnu and Manija in the Baltic Sea. Geographically isolated\, over centuries a strong sense of community spirit and a steadfast attachment to their ancestor’s customs has developed. Often viewed as the last matriarchal society in Europe\, the women here take care of almost everything on land as their husbands travel the seas. \nGjelstad has photographed the daily lives and activities of the women\, their clothing\, bedrooms\, kitchens and farmhouses as well as the surrounding landscape ­– even a ceremony in a deceased person’s kitchen only three hours after she had passed away. She has also interviewed the women about their lives\, struggles and losses and their thoughts on the future. We learn of the development of this unique society\, the harsh conditions it endured over many decades as part of the Soviet Union\, as well as its culture and folk dressing customs. These are the hushed voices of culture bearers who need to be heard\, for this is a small society rapidly moving towards Western standards\, and where traditional culture and identity is inevitably slipping away. \nIn today’s event\, Gjelstad and Larsen will discuss the work over the past 11 years that went into the project\, as well as the lives and culture it portrays; including the matriarchal order of the islands\, their work with textiles\, and the preservation of the society. They will also discuss how to work on such lengthy and immersive projects\, and how to be able to gain access to and build connections in closed societies. \nThis 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. \n“Anne Helene Gjelstad’s documentary project is remarkable. She has found a way to photograph the women\, which draws the viewer into their world and souls. You can feel the passion the photographer has for this project – it transports and leaves us wanting to know and see more.”—Joyce Tenneson \nThis event has been organized by the American-Scandinavian Foundation with the Consulate General of Estonia in New York & the Royal Norwegian Consulate General in New York. \n
