SUMMARY:KNITTING THURSDAYS! | LEARN TO KNIT WITH HILARY SNELL
DESCRIPTION:Learn to knit at Scandinavia House this fall in classes in October and November! \nWhen one thinks of Scandinavia\, one of the first things that comes to mind is the distinctive patterns of knitted sweaters. Knitting has been an essential part of Nordic culture since the early 1500s and people\, sheep and knitting have always been inextricably linked. The craft has been a source of artistic expression while also keeping generations warm during the long\, cold winters. \nKnitting is a symbol of self-sufficiency. Families tended the sheep\, spun the wool from those sheep and used yarn to clothe themselves and their loved ones. They would also sell their work to support their families. Denmark\, the Faroe Islands\, Finland\, Iceland\, Norway\, Sweden and Finland all have rich and varied knitting traditions and continue to express themselves through stunning design and wool work. \nJoin us for small\, two-hour workshops to learn the basics of knitting. In a casual and supportive setting\, you’ll learn how to cast on\, knit\, purl\, and cast off. You’ll leave with your own knitted piece to continue your work at home. Scandinavia House will supply the needles and the yarn. \nDID YOU KNOW? Repetitive motions like knitting\, where your mind becomes fully absorbed in the task\, can lead to increased happiness and decreased stress. \nABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR: \nHilary Snell\, a longtime visitor services staff member of Scandinavia House\, is of English\, Scottish\, and Irish descent\, and loves everything about Nordic culture. She was taught to knit by her grandmother and mother when she was eight years old and took it up again in her late 20s\, and has been knitting ever since. She enjoys sharing her love of the craft and of fiber arts in general. See her work at: https://www.instagram.com/lockwoodknits/ \nRegister

SUMMARY:THE EXALTED | NYBFF
DESCRIPTION:The 8th 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 Thursday\, November 6\, see The Exalted (Cildenie\, dir. Juris Kursietis\, Latvia/Estonia/Greece\, 2024); a talk with lead actor Juris Žagars follows the screening. \nThe film also screens on opening night (Wednesday\, November 5)\, also with a talk by Juris Žagars. \nIn this exquisite thriller exploring the boundaries of loyalty and greed\, Anna (Johanna Wokalek)\, is an internationally renowned organist whose partner Andris (Juris Zagars) a successful CEO\, is suspected of corruption. As Anna proceeds with a lavish birthday party in the countryside\, she must navigate a crumbling reputation\, moral dilemmas\, false accusations\, and religious uncertainty. The restless handheld camera draws us into her emotional turmoil\, as the foundation of her life collapses alongside her partner’s arrest. \nEstablished Latvian director Juris Kursietis‘ return to cinema is deeply atmospheric and character-driven\, deftly intertwining Anna’s professional life with her personal crisis. The Exalted presents  powerful commentary on loyalty\, moral conflict\, the weight of public perception and the intersection of personal and public turmoil. \n“A bracing\, sharp-toothed satire”—Wendy Id\, ScreenDaily \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:THE BLACK HOLE
DESCRIPTION:The 8th 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 6\, see the New York Premiere of the zany sci-fi parable The Black Hole (Must auk\, dir. Moonika Siimets\, Estonia/Finland\, 2024).  \nThe Black Hole is an absurdist\, genre-blending comedic anthology that follows three interconnected stories in a suburban Estonian apartment complex\, where residents encounter aliens and fantastical beings while grappling with everyday struggles like abuse\, loneliness\, and economic hardship. When a mysterious black hole appears among the lilac bushes of their district\, accompanied by aliens\, a giant spider\, and a shorts-wearing Austrian\, events begin to unfold that challenge the suburban residents’ hopes for a brighter future. \nThe film comprises a triptych following residents through their surreal encounters: Sirje (Anne Reemann) and Maret (Eva Koldits)\, dreaming of finding work abroad\, end up in an extraterrestrial science experiment; Jüri (Ursel Tilk)\, still living with his mother\, falls in love with his lustful neighbour\, Gertrud (Jekaterina Linnamäe); Mariliis (Doris Tislar)\, who dreams of a world without abusive men\, finds shelter at fearless bodybuilder Uma’s (Rea Lest) apartment full of giant spiders. The clever screenplay weaves together cosmic orgasms\, an existential lust for desire\, and ancient culinary wisdom – all inspired by Estonian short stories by Armin Kõomägi and Andrus Kivirähk. (115 min. In Estonian with English subtitles) \nPurchase Tickets
