SUMMARY:OPENING NIGHT | THE 2025 SÁMI FILM FESTIVAL
DESCRIPTION:The Annual Sámi Film Festival returns to Scandinavia House and virtually nationwide! Now in its 7th year\, the festival celebrates the rich storytelling traditions of the Sámi\, an Indigenous people of the northernmost parts of Finland\, Norway\, Sweden\, and the Kola Peninsula of Russia. This year’s program is curated by acclaimed visual artist Matti Aikio\, whose work in sound and video art has captivated audiences across the globe\, and one of 12 artists featured in Arctic Highways\, a 2023 exhibition exploring contemporary art by Indigenous artists from the Arctic. Presented annually in partnership with the National Nordic Museum in Seattle\, this year’s festival will also be co-presented with Anchorage Museum\, a significant art\, history\, ethnography\, ecology\, and science museum dedicated to studying and exploring the land\, peoples\, art\, and history of Alaska. \nOpening night screenings will be followed by a film talk with festival curator Matti Aikio. \nSCHEDULE\nBiegga bieggá /Wind is Winding (2024)\nDir. Jenni Laiti & Lada Suomenrinne | 42 min.\nThey swallow our rivers\, and the valleys turn into one big tear of grief. Yet\, there are beings who gather the grief for a journey\, for what they are carrying the wounded trees and all living beings. Their luggage is full of legacy from the world that is ending\, and they will find the path to a portal when the first snow of the winter falls. The wind blows and leads the voyagers to a utopia\, challenging them with the questions of being. \nSkierri – vaivaiskoivujen maa /Skierri – Land of the Dwarf Birches (1982)\nDir. Markku Lehmuskallio | 118 min.\nIn Sápmi\, a reindeer herder follows the traditional cycles of migratory life\, which keep him apart from his home and wife for long periods of time. “Two cultures collide\, the minority culture and the majority one. We try to show another way of thinking in this world\,” said director Markku Lehmuskallio. The director spent a year working with reindeer herders before filming to better understand the Sámi way of life. Skierri was the first Finnish feature film in which the Sámi people speak their language. The music of Erik Satie is combined with the sounds of nature. \nPurchase Tickets \n  \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:ARMAND
DESCRIPTION:On January 9\, see a special screening of Armand (Norway\, 2024)\, Norway’s official selection for Best International Feature Film at the 97th Academy Awards! \nElisabeth (Renate Reinsve) arrives at a parent-teacher meeting called on short notice. Her six-year-old son Armand has been accused of something — but that “something” seems unclear. As the principal\, the school nurse\, and another pair of parents become involved\, it’s revealed that a boundary has been crossed between Armand and his best friend. And as they disagree on how to handle it\, the school begins to lose control. A powerful and thought-provoking drama about the complexities of alleged sexual harassment between children\, Armand has been acclaimed as a “vivid\, creepy\, and uncomfortably funny debut” (IndieWire). \n“Resonant and haunting — and should spark plenty of post-screening discussions” (Jonathan Romney\, Screen Daily) \n\nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:NO OTHER LAND
DESCRIPTION:On January 6\, see No Other Land\, a Norwegian-produced\, vérité-style documentary by a Palestinian-Israeli collective of four directors. \nBasel Adra\, a Palestinian activist from Masafer Yatta\, has been fighting his community’s mass expulsion by Israeli occupation since childhood. Basel documents the gradual erasure of Masafer Yatta as soldiers destroy the homes of families — the largest single act of forced transfer carried out in the occupied West Bank. After he crosses paths with Yuval Abraham\, a young Israeli journalist\, the two spend half a decade fighting the expulsion. Their complex bond is haunted by the extreme inequality between them: Basel lives under a brutal military occupation\, and Yuval is unrestricted and free. Created during the darkest\, most terrifying times in the region\, No Other Land was filmed by Basel and Yuval alongside two fellow activists — Isareli Rachel Szor and Palestinian Hamdan Ballal. The film is an act of creative resistance to Apartheid and a search for a path towards equality and justice. (Norway & Palestine\, 2024). \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:THE LAST JOURNEY
DESCRIPTION:On December 7\, see The Last Journey (Sweden\, 2024)\, Sweden’s selection for Best International Feature at the 97th Academy Awards! Director Filip Hammar will be present for a film talk and Q&A following the screening. \nWhen Lars Hammar retired after 40 years as a French teacher in the small town of Köping\, he thought that he and his wife Tiina would enter a new phase of travels\, wine\, and experiences they’d never had time for. But as for many others\, retirement didn’t turn out how they imagined — and over the years Lars fell into a depression\, seemingly stuck at home in his Belgian leather armchair\, much to the despair of the energetic Tiina. \nIn a desperate attempt to help his father regain his zest for life\, filmmaker Filip Hammar took his dad on a surprise road trip to France\, retracing the journey they made every summer during Filip’s childhood. With the help of his best friend and fellow filmmaker Fredrik Wikingsson\, Filip aimed to invigorate his dad by reliving some of the best moments of his life. But over the course of their travels and film\, the metamorphosis Filip hoped for becomes another — a recognition of the inevitable\, and the process of aging. A film about life\, death\, friendship and a portrait of a humble man and his enduring legacy\, The Last Journey (Den sista resan) has been Sweden’s highest-grossing documentary and acclaimed as “life-affirming…humorous and heartbreaking” (Variety). \nPurchase Tickets \nSix-Film Package

SUMMARY:THE GIRL WITH THE NEEDLE
DESCRIPTION:On December 4\, see a special screening of The Girl with the Needle (Denmark/Poland\, 2024)\, Denmark’s selection for Best International Feature at the 97th Academy Awards! Director Magnus von Horn will be present for a film talk and Q&A after the screening. \nKaroline\, a young seamstress\, finds herself abandoned and pregnant while striving to climb out of poverty in post-WWI Copenhagen. With her husband missing and presumed dead in the war\, she’s unable to pay rent and subsequently evicted. Destitute and soon pregnant to another man\, she falls under the spell of a charismatic candy-store owner\, Dagmar Overbye\, who promises Karoline a home\, job\, and solution to her problems. But the job itself comes at a terrible cost… and soon brings her face to face with a nightmarish reality. Inspired by one of Denmark’s most infamous serial killer cases\, The Girl with the Needle (Pigen med nålen) is at once chilling and timely — offering an unvarnished look at the lengths a woman will go to in order to survive a coldly patriarchal and unforgiving society. \n“Builds to a devastating climax\, taut as piano wire” (Leslie Felperin\, The Hollywood Reporter) \n“Invested with a supremely eerie folkloric edge – a bleak historical chapter made timeless” (Robbie Collin\, The Telegraph) \nThis screening is presented in this year’s Nordic & Baltic Oscar Contenders series.

SUMMARY:FAMILY TIME — SCREENING & DIRECTOR TALK
DESCRIPTION:See Finland’s contender for Best International Feature at the 97th Academy Awards\, Family Time\, in the Nordic & Baltic Oscar Contenders series! The screening will be followed by a film talk and Q&A with director Tia Kouvo.\n\n\nA family comes together for the holidays — and immediately starts falling apart. Just like every year\, middle-aged sisters Susanna and Helena are visiting their parents’ house with their families. And just like every year\, Grandpa Lasse drinks too much; Grandma Ella has to take care of everyone; the kids are fed up\, and the sisters are arguing about the most pointless things. Tia Kouvo’s bitingly humorous\, poignant debut digs into a universal question: Are we destined to remain stuck in the same patterns\, or can we ever change — and at last become a happy family?\n\n\nWinner of the Best Film Award at Riga IFF\, Lübeck Nordic Film Days\, and International Women’s FF Seoul\, as well as three Jussi Awards for Screenplay\, Directing\, and Film of the Year\, Family Time is “a tender film with relatable ideas or emotions at its core” (International Cinephile Society).\n\n\nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:THE REMARKABLE LIFE OF IBELIN | SCREENING & FILM TALK
DESCRIPTION:See the Nordic & Baltic Oscar Contenders this fall at Scandinavia House! On November 11\, we’ll be screening The Remarkable Life of Ibelin (dir. Benjamin Ree\, Norway\, 2024)\, a contender for Best Feature Documentary at the 97th Academy Awards\, following a screening of the short film Makayla’s Voice. *Director Benjamin Ree will be present for a film talk and Q&A following the screening.* \nWhen Norwegian gamer Mats Steen died at age 25\, his parents mourned what they thought was an isolated life. It was only once they had access to his blog that they discovered the deep friendships he created virtually before passing away from a degenerative muscular disease. Unbeknownst to them\, Mats had in fact been long leading a vibrant digital life that had left a profound impact on a community of fellow gamers. \nThe Remarkable Life of Ibelin takes us on a journey through the breadth of Mats Steen’s adventurous online life\, introducing us to Ibelin\, his charismatic World of Warcraft persona. Through reconstructed animated moments from Mats’ gameplay\, narrated entries from his blog and interviews with people who knew him as Ibelin\, a picture of a remarkable young man emerges\, one that underscores how community and soulful relationships can transcend the boundaries of the physical world. A winner of awards including World Cinema – Audience Award & Best Director at Sundance and Best Film at Tromsø International\, the film has been acclaimed as “a heartfelt digital eulogy” (Empire Magazine) and “a rare and beautiful thing: a moving documentary that excavates the question of the ‘real’ in a profoundly humanistic and unconventional way” (NYTimes). \nPreceding the feature film\, Maykayla’s Voice: A Letter to the World (dir. Julio Palacio\, 2024\, U.S.) introduces us to a remarkable teenage girl whose spirit and determination defy expectations. Makayla has spent her life grappling with a rare form of autism that has rendered her essentially nonverbal\, until her parents — filled with unwavering belief in their daughter’s potential —  embark on a transformative journey to discover the true depth of Makayla’s inner world. (Directed by Julio Palacio\, produced by Sasha Levinson and executive produced by Roger Ross Williams; 23 min. In English with English subtitles.) \nRegister

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

SUMMARY:HANDLING THE UNDEAD
DESCRIPTION:On October 16\, join us for a screening of the Norwegian zombie thriller Handling the Undead\, a “meditative\, mind-shattering experience that gets under your skin” (Fort Worth Report) adapted from the 2005 novel by Let the Right One In author John Ajvide Lindqvist. \nOn a hot summer day in Oslo\, the dead mysteriously awaken\, and three families are thrown into chaos when their deceased loved ones come back to them. Who are they\, and what do they want? A family is faced with the mother’s reawakening before they have even mourned her death after a car accident; an elderly woman gets the love of her life back the same day she has buried her; a grandfather rescues his grandchild from the gravesite in a desperate attempt to get his daughter out of her depression. Handling the Undead is a drama with elements of horror about three families\, a story about grief and loss\, but also about hope and understanding of what we can’t comprehend or control. \n“Handling the Undead … eschews any of the practical questions\, but with a more humanist intent: to lean single-mindedly into its characters’ emotions — and also its eerie mythical resonance” (Alissa Wilkinson\, New York Times) \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:NO OTHER LAND
DESCRIPTION:On October 14\, see No Other Land\, a Norwegian-produced\, vérité-style documentary by a Palestinian-Israeli collective of four directors. *A film talk and Q&A follows the screening with co-directors Basel Adra\, Yuval Abraham\, and Rachel Szor.* \nBasel Adra\, a Palestinian activist from Masafer Yatta\, has been fighting his community’s mass expulsion by Israeli occupation since childhood. Basel documents the gradual erasure of Masafer Yatta as soldiers destroy the homes of families — the largest single act of forced transfer carried out in the occupied West Bank. After he crosses paths with Yuval Abraham\, a young Israeli journalist\, the two spend half a decade fighting the expulsion. Their complex bond is haunted by the extreme inequality between them: Basel lives under a brutal military occupation\, and Yuval is unrestricted and free. Created during the darkest\, most terrifying times in the region\, No Other Land was filmed by Basel and Yuval alongside two fellow activists — Isareli Rachel Szor and Palestinian Hamdan Ballal. The film is an act of creative resistance to Apartheid and a search for a path towards equality and justice. (Norway & Palestine\, 2024). \nPurchase Tickets

Abbe Hassan\, Sweden\, 2022)\, a gripping new drama about the global migration crisis as seen through the eyes of a shifty smuggler and the innocent young girl he takes under his wing\, on May 15! \nAt the Istanbul international airport\, Amal\, a 12-year-old refugee from Syria\, breaks free from the people holding her captive and collides with 40-year-old Sam\, a professional human smuggler whose operation has just gone wrong. Though Sam is initially reluctant to save her\, they soon find themselves speeding away from airport together in a taxi\, where Sam learns of Amal’s hopes to be reunited with her sisters in Romania. As the pair join forces on a harrowing journey first by inflatable boat across the Black Sea\, and on from Greece to Sweden\, an unexpectedly warm friendship develops between the quick-witted young girl and her jaded traveling partner. And amid the peril of their surroundings\, the journey becomes both their survival and their awakening. \nA warm-hearted story of survival and friendship inspired by Abbe Hassan’s experience leaving war-torn Beirut for Sweden as a child\, Exodus has been hailed as a “tender thriller” (Deadline) exploring the joy of human connection amid the heartbreaking circumstances of the Syrian Refugee Crisis. \nPurchase Tickets
