SUMMARY:BATTLE OF OSLO | NEW NORDIC CINEMA
DESCRIPTION:On September 2\, see the gripping war drama Battle of Oslo! A box office hit in Norway\, this gripping true story of courage under fire recounts the decisive actions of Colonel Birger Eriksen\, whose fateful choice shaped Norway’s destiny. \n9 April 1940. Norway stands under siege as German warships steam toward Oslo. Colonel Birger Eriksen (Bjørn Sundquist)\, commander of the undermanned Oscarsborg Fortress\, has no reinforcements\, no clear orders\, and time is slipping away. In a bold decision that alters history\, he orders the launch of the first shots against the invasion\, sinking the heavy cruiser Blücher in a stunning blow. \nIn a symbol of defiance\, they heroically stall the enemy advance and buy precious hours before a full-scale occupation can take hold. Yet victory comes at a steep cost. For ten gruelling hours\, Eriksen and his brave garrison endure relentless German bombardment\, trapped on their island stronghold. With shells raining down and the fortress crumbling amid the chaos of unyielding assault\, Eriksen fights not only to protect his beleaguered nation\, but to safeguard the lives of his closest comrades and family. \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:WEIGHTLESS | NEW NORDIC CINEMA
DESCRIPTION:“A smart\, striking debut” (Leslie Felperin\, The Hollywood Reporter)—On September 9\, see the tender coming-of-age story Weightless! Emilie Thalund’s debut feature shines a light on self-acceptance\, friendship\, desire and growing up. \n\nFifteen-year-old Lea is spending her summer at a health camp tucked between the forest and the sea. Her new roommate\, Sasha\, is everything Lea wishes she could be: bold\, magnetic\, and unafraid to take up space in the world. While Sasha flirts with the local boys\, Lea’s gaze is fixed on Rune\, the camp’s charming instructor. When Rune reciprocates her attention\, something awakens within Lea; an unfamiliar yet thrilling desire. \nWinner of the New Directors Competition at the San Sebastián Film Festival 2025 and the FIPRESCI Prize at this year’s Göteborg Film Festival\, WEIGHTLESS has already enjoyed major festival success. From debut director Emilie Thalund\, the film presents a bold and intimate exploration of adolescent desire and identity\, following 15-year-old Lea during a transformative summer\, capturing the delicate balance between longing\, self-discovery\, and the complexities of emerging sexuality. This poignant coming-of-age story offers a fresh and honest voice in contemporary cinema. \n\nPhotos: Louise McLaughlin \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:THE QUIET BEEKEEPER | NEW NORDIC CINEMA
DESCRIPTION:“A warmly melancholic\, affirmative slice of imperfect humanity”—On September 16\, see the poignant\, meditative family drama The Quiet Beekeeper! Winner of the Audience Award at the 2026 Göteborg Film Festival\, The Quiet Beekeeper is a quiet and deeply affecting drama inspired by real-life events exploring love\, nature\, and the cycles of life. \n\nSet in the small\, rustic town of Åmotfors in the Swedish region of Värmland\, close to the Norwegian border\, the film follows father Olof and daughter Lise who long for connection and carry shared grief in different ways. Like his forefathers\, beekeeper Olof (a stellar Adam Lundgren) keeps bees and drives a snowplough in wintertime to keep the bills paid for his family\, consisting of his mother\, sister and his prickly teenage daughter Lise. \nWith a delicate touch\, the film deftly captures life in the countryside\, portraying both the everyday and the existential\, from the humming of beehives to a relationship on the verge of collapse. Directed and co-written by Marcus Carlsson\, who co-wrote the script with star Adam Lundgren\, and featuring an atmospheric score by Janne Schaffer\, this is a sensitive story of loss\, silence\, longing for closeness\, hope and facing our fears. \n\nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:A LIGHT THAT NEVER GOES OUT | NEW NORDIC CINEMA

SUMMARY:TELL EVERYONE | NEW NORDIC CINEMA
DESCRIPTION:“A compelling and ultimately compassionate story”—On October 21\, see the striking period drama Tell Everyone! Director Alli Haapasalo and lead actress Marketta Tikkanen will be present for a Q&A following the screening. \nOn a remote island where troublesome women are sent to be forgotten\, an emotionally charged struggle for liberation unfolds in a dazzlingly beautiful and deeply moving historical drama. \n\nFollowing her acclaimed Girl Picture (2022)\, director Alli Haapasalo takes the female body’s built-in violence and imbues that bottled up fury into 19th-century Finland on a little island called Seili. The year is 1898\, and Amanda (Marketta Tikkanen) arrives at the institution on the island of Seili in the Finnish archipelago. She has been committed after living a wandering\, decadent life\, marked by episodes of “madness” once a month caused by severe menstrual pain. Amanda considers her stay on the island strictly temporary\, but as she begins to form bonds with the other women\, doubt takes root. Marketta Tikkanen shines in the lead role\, supported by Alma Pöysti\, Krista Kosonen and Aamu Milonoff\, who together create a richly layered gallery of female fates in a genuinely affecting drama. \n\nPurchase Tickets
