Despite Kensuke’s rigid boundaries and rules for the island\, a friendship begins to form. It couldn’t come at a more fortuitous time\, as dangerous invaders begin to threaten their secret world and they must work together to preserve their fragile paradise. (89 min. Ages 8+ | Dir.

Kids challenge teachers\, mean girls pick fights\, and Mona barely knows any German. What she does know is soccer\, even if she vowed never to play after leaving her Syrian team and her cherished aunt Helin. Things don’t get any better when her new teacher and coach convinces her to join the team. Mona and her mates know that teamwork doesn’t come easy\, but there’s only one way to win. (119 min.

SUMMARY:DOROGU
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday\, March 9 join us for a screening of the Dorogu trilogy (dir. Jyrki Haapala\, Finland\, 2024)\, the first ever Karelian-language film in cinematic history! Karelia\, a region of northeastern Europe on the border between Finland and Russia\, is a site of incredible geopolitical tension in the era of Russia’s war of aggression. A film talk featuring lead actors Anna Hakkarainen and Minna Karttunen will follow the screening. \nDorogu—On the Mystical Paths of Karelia film trilogy comprises of three Karelian-language short films Veneh\, Lindu and Ilmu. The name of the trilogy\, Dorogu\, means “road\,” and these films take the viewer on a journey of transition. Dorogu depicts the sacred and important rites of passage which hold high significance in the Karelian culture and traditions. The trilogy also documents and exhibits the ancient tradition of reciting lamentations and spells\, which were of great importance when any transitional rituals took place. Nature plays a central role in the films\, almost hypnotically taking viewers on a journey to a mythical landscape. \nVeneh depicts the Karelian lament wedding tradition\, held at the bride’s home. Viewers follow her last day at her family home\, before the groom collects her to bring her away to his family. Lindu concerns Karelian mythology and ritualism related to death. The film follows the journey of a dead man’s soul to his home\, as he is guided by a soul bird. Ilmu explores birth and related Karelian mythology and ritualism.

SUMMARY:INTERCEPTED
DESCRIPTION:See three of the shortlisted finalists for this year’s LUX Audience Awards this season at Scandinavia House! On March 27 we’ll be screening Intercepted\, a documentary by Oksana Karpovych contrasting quiet compositions of everyday Ukrainian life since the full-scale invasion with intercepted phone conversations between Russian soldiers and their families. \nWhat drives the people who come to your country to wage war? Intercepted is an attempt to find an answer by showing two parallel worlds. The camera registers images of destruction in unhurried shots\, in which we see Ukrainian villages\, towns\, houses and motorways after their liberation from the Russian occupation. We look closely – not into the abyss of destruction and death\, but rather at landscapes being filled again with life. This gives hope and serves to balance out the media’s normalization of horror. They are frames set against the flood of images. Throughout the film\, the soundtrack forms a shocking counterpoint. We listen to the recordings of telephone conversations intercepted in 2022 by the Ukrainian Secret Service between Russian soldiers in trenches in Ukraine and their families. It is hard to decide which element is more devastating: the soldiers’ confessions of the rape\, looting and brutal torture of Ukrainian civilians and prisoners of war or the (mainly) female voices from “back home” that bear witness to chauvinism and hatred\, disinformation and schizophrenic propaganda. Sound and image stare each other in the face\, stunned\, brought together in a cinematic space. \nThis event has been organized by the European Parliament in partnership with Scandinavia House. The LUX Audience Award is a joint initiative of the European Parliament and the European Film Academy in collaboration with the European Commission and Europa Cinemas. It is the largest audience award worldwide and the only film prize in the world where citizens together with Members of the European Parliament — with each group weighting 50 percent — can decide who the winner will be by rating the nominated films online. The LUX Audience Award fosters dialogue and engagement between politics and the public through the medium of film. The nominated films address European values and raise awareness about some of today’s main social and political issues such as mental health\, poverty\, climate change\, freedom of expression\, gender equality\, and LGBTIQ+ rights.
