SUMMARY:APOLONIA\, APOLONIA; KNIGHT OF FORTUNE — SCREENINGS & FILM TALKS
DESCRIPTION:See two Oscar-shortlisted Danish films—Apolonia\, Apolonia and Knight of Fortune—on Thursday\, January 11 at Scandinavia House! \n5:30 PM: Screening of KNIGHT OF FORTUNE\n6 PM: Film Talk with Director Lasse Lyskjær Noer\n7 PM: Screening of APOLONIA\, APOLONIA\n9 PM: Film Talk with Director Lea Glob and Producer Sidsel Lønvig Siersted \nKNIGHT OF FORTUNE\nShort film | Denmark | 2023 | 25 minutes | Danish & Swedish with English subtitles \nShortlisted for Best Live Action Short at the 96th Academy Awards\, Knight of Fortune (Denmark\, 2023) is the powerful story of an emergent friendship between two widowers. Grief and comedy come together in filmmaker Lasse Lyskjær Noer’s directorial and writing debut\, which takes place at a morgue where two perfect strangers—Karl and Torben—find\, in each other\, a shoulder to cry and even laugh on.  \nAPOLONIA\, APOLONIA\nFeature film | Denmark | 2022 | 116 minutes | Danish\, French\, English\, Polish & Russian with English subtitles\n\nApolonia\, Apolonia\, shortlisted for Best Documentary Feature at the 96th Academy Awards\, returns to Scandinavia House on January 11! — See Danish filmmaker Lea Glob’s fascinating portrait of an artist as a young woman (Denmark/Poland\, 2023)\, “an impressively idiosyncratic\, far-reaching work” (Variety). The screening will be followed by a film talk with Lea Glob and producer Sidsel Lønvig Siersted. \nWhen Lea Glob first met (and filmed) Apolonia Sokol in 2009\, she appeared to be leading a storybook life. The talented young painter was born in an underground theater in Paris and grew up in an artists’ community — the ultimate bohemian existence — later studying in her 20s at the Beaux-Arts de Paris\, one of the most prestigious art academies in Europe. Over the next 13 years\, Glob continued to film the charismatic Apolonia\, as a special bond developed between the two young women. In the resulting documentary\, we see a young woman trying to find her place in the art world: one who is confident in her talent\, but does not always find herself on an easy path. Apolonia soon learns that women painters have to make more sacrifices and overcome greater obstacles than their male counterparts do\, a lesson that applies both herself and her longtime friend Oksana Shachko\, one of the founders of the feminist action group Femen. \n“It may seem like an ambitious prospect for a filmmaker to take ‘life’ and ‘art’ as her stated subject\, but that is precisely the feat Lea Glob has pulled off with her tender new documentary… The viewer is getting to know Apolonia deeply – and what a pleasure” (Payton McCarty-Simas\, Film Inquiry) \nPurchase Tickets
