SUMMARY:REMEMBER TO BLINK — NEW YORK BALTIC FILM FESTIVAL
DESCRIPTION:The 6th Annual New York Baltic Film Festival (NYBFF) presented by Scandinavia House: The Nordic Center in America returns this November with the best new films from the Baltic region! On November 8\, see the North American Premiere of Remember to Blink\, Austėja Urbaitė’s captivating drama exploring cultural conflicts amid the intricacies of human behavior. \nHaving adopted two Lithuanian children\, French couple Leon (Arthur Igual) and Jacqueline (Anne Azoulay)\, who live in a beautiful house in the French mountains\, enlist young Lithuanian student Gabriele (Dovile Kundrotaite) to serve as an interpreter and nanny. When the children arrive\, however\, their idyllic façade of their new family arrangement gives way to underlying tensions and cultural clashes — the couple might not be familiar with their adopted children’s origins\, leading to conflicts and misunderstandings\, and unearthing the complexities of parenthood and culture. \nDirector Austėja Urbaitė’s debut is a thought-provoking exploration of the subtle dynamics of what it means to become a family. The film skillfully unveils the characters’ multifaceted and irrational traits\, weaving a tapestry of relationships that question the boundaries of culture and identity\, and exposes a form of “Neo-colonialism” reflecting broader cultural conflicts. Urbaitė deftly employs unpredictability of her characters with nuanced performances to maintain viewer engagement\, while cinematographer Julius Sičiūnas juxtaposes the serene natural surroundings with the mounting tension within the confined household. \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:MELCHIOR THE APOTHECARY: THE EXECUTIONER'S DAUGHTER — NEW YORK BALTIC FILM FESTIVAL
DESCRIPTION:The 6th Annual New York Baltic Film Festival (NYBFF) presented by Scandinavia House: The Nordic Center in America returns this November with the best new films from the Baltic region! This year’s lineup includes the North American Premiere of the third film in the series Melchior the Apothecary\, The Executioner’s Daughter (Apteeker Melchior. Timuka tütar\, dir.

In The Executioner’s Daughter\, screenwriters Hargla\, Nüganen\, and Olle Mirme adapt events from Apothecary Melchior and the Hangman’s Daughter with new and exciting twists and turns. When Melchior’s wife Keterlyn (Gabriele Amine Ahwazian) witnesses a brutal attack\, the unknown young man is saved but has lost his memory\, and does not know who he is nor how he ended up in Tallinn. When a ring found at the scene leads Melchior to the night brotherhood\, the bizarre troupe who performed on Fair Day also raise questions; and frightening signs suggest that not only is the recovering victim still in danger\, but also Melchior and Keterlyn. At the same time\, the pope’s envoy\, known as a ruthless witch-hunter\, arrives in the city. \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:SOVIET MILK — NEW YORK BALTIC FILM FESTIVAL
DESCRIPTION:The 6th Annual New York Baltic Film Festival (NYBFF) presented by Scandinavia House: The Nordic Center in America returns this November with the best new films from the Baltic region! This year’s lineup includes the International Premiere of Ināra Kolmane’s Soviet Milk(Mātes piens\, Latvia/Belgium\, 2023)\, a poignant exploration of resilience and sacrifice set against the backdrop of Soviet-occupied Latvia from 1945-89. The film will screen in-person at Scandinavia House on November 11 at 6 PM and virtually from November 12-19. \nIn this gripping tale based on Nora Ikstena’s bestselling novel\, Soviet Milk chronicles the life of Astra (Maija Doveika)\, a talented young doctor whose life unravels in her defiant struggle against the totalitarian regime of occupied Soviet Latvia. Stripped of her career\, her joy for life\, and even her maternal instincts (resulting in her denying her baby breast milk)\, Astra finds herself adrift in a repressive society — until her teenage daughter Nora (Rūta Kronberga) and intersex friend Jesse (Zane Bierande) begin to emerge as her steadfast allies. As Nora and Jesse begin to navigate the same oppressive landscape seeking truth and purpose\, they form a tight-knit support system to aid Astra’s battle with her overwhelming depression. \nPurchase Tickets
