SUMMARY:THE SQUIRREL | SCREENING & DIRECTOR TALK
DESCRIPTION:On November 17\, Scandinavia House presents a special screening and director talk featuring Finland’s official entry for Best International Feature Film at the 99th Academy Awards: the absurd\, warm-hearted dystopian drama The Squirrel. Director Markus Lehmusruusu will be present for a film talk and Q&A. \nThe Squirrel / Orava\nDir. Markus Lehmusruusu\, Finland/Germany/Netherlands/Sweden\, 2026 | 93 min.\nIn Finnish with English subtitles \nIn the far future\, in a sterile\, frictionless world without nature or animals – Pasi\, a lonely\, compassionate designer of synthetic pets\, stumbles upon the last surviving squirrel by chance. He decides to defy the very strict regulations of interaction with what little nature is left in the world and help ease the squirrel back into its natural habitat. However\, when his actions lead to unexpected consequences\, Pasi is confronted with a profound dilemma: should he venture into the wild with the squirrel or jeopardize the safety of his fragile\, tightly-regulated world to keep the squirrel by his side? \nDeftly balancing biting satire\, a portrait of an authoritarian dystopia\, and a timid romance\, Markus Lehmusruusu kindles those fires of humanity in a world where they have nearly been extinguished. Its chilly aesthetic and deadpan humor inevitably evoke Aki Kaurismäki\, yet beneath the cold exterior lies a surprisingly warm story about resisting conformity and stepping beyond one’s comfort zone. \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:AMERICAN DOCTOR | NORDIC & BALTIC OSCAR CONTENDERS
DESCRIPTION:On November 18\, Scandinavia House presents a screening of the unflinching\, visceral documentary American Doctor\, a Danish qualifier for Best Documentary Feature Film at the 99th Academy Awards. \n\n\n\nAmerican Doctor follows three prominent physicians — Palestinian\, Jewish\, and Zoroastrian — who\, despite their differing backgrounds\, are united by a shared calling to confront injustice and uphold their oath to save lives. Dr. Thaer Ahmad is measured and strategic; Dr. Mark Perlmutter is blunt and wears his heart on his sleeve; and Dr. Feroze Sidhwa is media-savvy and prolific. Filmed in unfolding\, on-the-ground vérité scenes\, the story traces their journey from a Gazan hospital under siege to the halls of Congress. Together\, they fight to keep a promise to their Palestinian colleagues and patients to continue the struggle where it matters most: in the United States. \n\n\n\nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:JUST LOOK UP | SCREENING + FILM TALK
DESCRIPTION:On November 30\, Scandinavia House presents a screening and film talk of the defiant\, propulsive climate documentary Just Look Up\, a Danish qualifier for Best Documentary Feature Film at the 99th Academy Awards. Directors Emma Wall and Betsy Hershey and producer Signe Byrge Sorensen will be present for a Q&A following the screening. \n\n\n\nHaving lived through decades of stagnant government response to sedate climate change protests\, Climate Defiance and founder/executive director Michael Greenberg pivot toward a different tack. This organization of young activists weasels their way into business conferences and crashes public and private events in order to nonviolently — but often wildly confrontationally — denounce the fossil fuel CEOs and politicians under the industry’s influence. Taking cues from the shock civil disobedience strategies of prior direct-action movements\, they aim to make these contentious and viral engagements impossible for today’s media ecosystem to ignore. \nDirectors Emma Wall and Betsy Hershey follow Greenberg and his fellow activists in their actions\, their crises\, and their breakthroughs. They share a desperation over the apathetic attitude toward the climate\, but that does not mean they agree on everything. With their non-violent actions\, they shake society awake and create viral waves on social media. And in Just Look Up\, this is fuelled musically by the likes of Chappell Roan\, Doechii and Billie Eilish – voices that\, like Greenberg himself\, speak on behalf of a generation that wants change now. \n\n\n\nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:THE SECRET READING CLUB OF KABUL | NORDIC & BALTIC OSCAR CONTENDERS
DESCRIPTION:On December 2\, Scandinavia House presents a special screening and director talk of a Finnish qualifier for Best Documentary Feature Film at the 99th Academy Awards: the powerful documentary The Secret Reading Club of Kabul. \nIn Taliban-controlled Afghanistan\, where women are denied the right to study\, work\, and speak freely\, a group of young women make a radical choice: they read. Inspired by Anne Frank\, they secretly form a reading club and begin writing their own diaries — not as victims\, but as witnesses. The Secret Reading Club becomes an act of resistance: documenting their lives as a timeless defense of humanity\, beyond borders or eras. \nPartially filmed by the women themselves\, The Secret Reading Club of Kabul is an intimate and confidential testimony to the power of art to keep hope and humanism alive. It is also a moving declaration of love for literature and for the act of reading itself.  The story is interwoven with director Shakiba Adil’s own journey. As a girl\, she grew up under the first Taliban regime\, and after the fall of the Taliban\, she became the first woman to appear on Afghan television. After being forced to flee her homeland twice\, she has now dedicated her film to the new generation facing the same oppression she herself has endured. \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:HOW TO DIVORCE DURING THE WAR | NORDIC & BALTIC OSCAR CONTENDERS
DESCRIPTION:On December 3\, Scandinavia House presents a special screening featuring Lithuania’s official entry for Best International Feature Film at the 99th Academy Awards: the “smart\, dryly humorous” and widely lauded How to Divorce During the War. \nVilnius\, 2022. High-flying executive Marija chooses the worst possible moment to inform her husband Vytas she wants a divorce: just one day before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Suddenly the couple must navigate separating in the middle of a refugee and mid-life crisis. As the reason for their divorce gradually becomes clear\, the dissolution of the marriage and the turmoil of world events creates conflicts and opportunities for them both—and for their ever-observant young daughter. Packed with surprises along with much heartache and soul searching\, Andrius Blaževičius’ nuanced and timely family drama skillfully depicts the fallout of a marriage against the backdrop of extraordinary events with humor and compassion. \n“A subtly searing comedy… both empathetic and surgical.” (Variety) \nPurchase Tickets
