SUMMARY:Virtual Screenings — NYBFF 2024
DESCRIPTION:The 7th Annual New York Baltic Film Festival (NYBFF) presented by Scandinavia House: The Nordic Center in America returns this November continuing its tradition of bringing the best new films from the Baltic region to New York audiences. The festival will once again take place in a hybrid festival with both in-person and virtual screenings. Virtual films in the festival will once again be available to viewers all across the U.S. via the Elevent streaming platform November 9-17. \nSix films from this year’s film will be available following their premieres at Scandinavia House\, and will remain available to stream through November 17. \nVIRTUAL SCHEDULE\nBeginning Saturday\, November 9 \n8 Views of Lake Biwa (dir. Marko Raat\, Estonia\, 2024) *Academy Awards Contender*\nEstonia’s contender for Best International Feature at this year’s Academy Awards is a poetic fairy tale set in an Estonian fishing village. In the wake of a recent tragedy\, two teenage girls watch ships sail to Kyoto\, while villagers create erotic art and engage in spiritual spells; hailed as “one of the most unique films of the year” (Cineuropa). \nA Postcard From Rome (dir. Elza Gauja\, Latvia\, 2024)\nIn the gentle love story Latvian couple Ernests and Alvīne use a lottery scheme to fulfill their lifelong dream of traveling to Rome. As they embark on their holiday\, it becomes clear that Alvīne’s Alzheimer’s disease is rapidly progressing — something with which neither is ready to cope. \nThe Mammoth Hunt(dir. Aistė Stonytė\, Lithuania\, 2024)\nThe documentary revisits 1968 Lithuania\, where theater director Jonas Jurasas directs a popular and thinly veiled anti-Soviet production titled “The Mammoth Hunt.” When word gets back to Moscow\, he flees to the U.S.\, while the play’s cast stages a final act of defiance. Director Aistė Stonytė tracks down recollections from its surviving participants. \nBeginning Sunday\, November 10 \nLife and Love (Elu ja armastus\, dir. Helen Takkin\, Estonia\, 2024)\nSet during the Great Depression in 1933\, Life and Love follows Irma\, a young woman who leaves her rural home to pursue a writing career in the city. There\, she is pulled into a toxic relationship with her boss at a local print shop\, and as political tensions rise\, Irma realizes that love and ambition come at a steep cost. \nMaria’s Silence (dir. Davis Simanis\, Latvia\, 2024) *North American Premiere*\nThis powerful historical drama about Maria Leiko\, a famous silent-film actress\, follows her as she forced to abandon her career to join Skatuve\, the Latvian State Theater in Moscow\, where she is manipulated amid purges of political enemies; a film “rich in historical references and complex visual poeticism” (Cineuropa). \nBeginning Monday\, November 11 \nParade (dir. Titas Laucius\, Lithuania\, 2022)\nA dramedy following a former couple’s decision to finalize their divorce through Catholic Court — with unexpected consequences; Parade is “a cracking comedy that bounces its sharply observed characters against the immovable absurdity of Catholic dogma” (Screen International).

SUMMARY:PARADE | NYBFF
DESCRIPTION:The 7th 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 10\, see Parade (dir. Titas Laucius\, Lithuania\, 2022)\, a dramedy following a former couple’s decision to finalize their divorce through Catholic Court — with unexpected consequences. Miglė has been divorced for 26 years\, or so she thought. But then one day she receives a strange request from her former husband: In order for him to marry his new girlfriend\, they must also get a divorce through “Catholic Court\,” the only institution with the power to undo the bonds of Christian marriage. As a series of awkward and embarrassing meetings with priests ensues\, Miglė and her ex-husband find themselves growing closer together…perhaps even closer than they’d been in marriage. \n“Parade is a real pleasure — a cracking comedy that bounces its sharply observed characters against the immovable absurdity of Catholic dogma” (Wendy Ide\, Screen International) \n“Laucius has a warm approach to comedy\, allowing the humour to develop from the enjoyable messy ins and outs of the situations the characters find themselves in” (Amber Wilkinson\, Eye for Film)\nThis film will also screen virtually from November 11-17.\nPurchase Tickets

On Sunday\, November 10 see the Estonian documentary Kelly — Someone Else’s Dream (dir. Helen Lõhmus\, Estonia\, 2024). Freestyle skier Kelly Sildaru shot to international fame in 2016 when\, at the age of 13\, she became the youngest Winter X-Games gold medalist of all time in slopestyle\, the most dangerous discipline of freestyle skiing. Coached by her father\, she became a media sensation\, breaking countless records. She also became the sweetheart of a nation harboring hopes for the next Winter Olympics.

Delving into the dark side of competitive sports\, the documentary explores the immense pressure young athletes face and the toll it takes on their mental well-being. A story of resilience and courage\, Kelly — Someone Else’s Dream celebrates a young athlete as she looks back on her life — and charts a new path forward. \n“A fast-paced documentary that keeps viewers hooked… an uplifting message of hope and empowerment” (Cineuropa) \n“A tough but courageous film [that] explores the dark side of professional sports (POV Magazine) \nPurchase Tickets
