SUMMARY:Run Uje Run — New Nordic Virtual Cinema Week 11
DESCRIPTION:FRI—May 7 through THU—May 13\nFilm tickets $13 ($8 ASF Members)\n**ASF Members will receive their discount by logging in to Elevent using the email address associated with their member account.** \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. The ninth session of the series from May 7-13 features the film Run Uje Run /Spring Uje Spring (Sweden\, 2020; dir. Henrik Schyffert). \nThe autobiographical story of Uje Brandelius\, a family father\, radio host and keyboard player in his pop band Doktor Kosmos\, Run Uje Run stars Uje and his family in their initially harmonious and ordinary suburban life outside Stockholm: where family dinners\, homework\, negotiation on drop-offs to the kindergarten\, and his daughter’s chess and fencing training are their main concerns. But Uje finds himself faced with a life-changing crisis upon learning that he has Parkinson’s disease — which he at first keeps as a secret\, while also reflecting on many of the the big questions in life. As he starts to put himself around people and situations he would not otherwise be in\, taking chances that end in embarrassment and unexpected comedy\, his unusual behavior sparks conflicts at home and at work. \nA warm comedy where everyday scenes and pop music are woven together against the backdrop of heavier future prospects\, Run Uje Run is about the turns that life takes after being diagnosed with a disease; what you have to catch up to in life\, and what you do not. Winner of the Best Film & Amanda Kernell Best Director\, Swedish Guldbagge Awards (78 min. In Swedish with English subtitles.) \n  \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:Anxious People by Fredrik Backman Online Nordic Book Club
DESCRIPTION:TUE—May 11—6 PM\, free \n**Nordic Book Club will take place as an online meeting** \nRead and discuss Scandinavian literature in translation as part of our Nordic Book Club\, now online! Each month we select a novel from some of the best Nordic literary voices. Discussions have typically taken place the last Tuesday of the month at Scandinavia House but will now be taking place bi-weekly as an online meeting. \nBook club participants will all appear online at the start of the meeting when they log in so that they are able to take part in the conversation. For participants who would prefer not to be visible onscreen\, see an easy tutorial online here on how to set a profile image that will appear onscreen instead. \nOn May 11\, we’ll be discussing the new book Anxious People by Fredrik Backman (A Man Called Ove\, Beartown). \nLooking at real estate isn’t usually a life-or-death situation\, but an apartment open house becomes just that when a failed bank robber bursts in and takes a group of strangers hostage. The captives: a recently retired couple with unaddressed marriage problems; a wealthy bank director too busy for relationships; an 87-year-old woman who has lived too long to be afraid of anyone; and a young couple expecting their first child\, while unable to agree on anything else. Add to the mix a flustered but still-ready-to-make-a-deal real estate agent and a mystery man who has locked himself in the apartment’s only bathroom\, and you’ve got the worst group of hostages in the world. But as authorities and media surround the premises\, these reluctant allies will reveal surprising truths about themselves and set in motion an entirely unexpected chain of events. \nRich with Fredrik Backman’s “pitch-perfect dialogue and an unparalleled understanding of human nature” (Shelf Awareness)\, Anxious People is an ingeniously constructed story about the enduring power of friendship\, forgiveness\, and hope—the things that save us\, even in the most anxious times. \nRegister
