SUMMARY:APOLONIA\, APOLONIA | SCREENING & DIRECTOR TALK
DESCRIPTION:“An impressively idiosyncratic\, far-reaching work…” (Variety) — see Danish filmmaker Lea Glob’s fascinating portrait of an artist as a young woman\, Apolonia\, Apolonia (Denmark/Poland\, 20223)! Returning this November and December\, the New York Baltic Oscar Contenders series features films chosen for Oscar nominations at the 96th Annual Academy Awards. The director will be present for a talk about her film\, which has been selected as a contender for Best Documentary Feature Film. \nWhen Lea Glob first met (and filmed) Apolonia Sokol in 2009\, she appeared to be leading a storybook life. The talented young painter was born in an underground theater in Paris and grew up in an artists’ community — the ultimate bohemian existence — later studying in her 20s at the Beaux-Arts de Paris\, one of the most prestigious art academies in Europe. Over the next 13 years\, Glob continued to film the charismatic Apolonia\, as a special bond developed between the two young women. In the resulting documentary\, we see a young woman trying to find her place in the art world: one who is confident in her talent\, but does not always find herself on an easy path. Apolonia soon learns that women painters have to make more sacrifices and overcome greater obstacles than their male counterparts do\, a lesson that applies both herself and her longtime friend Oksana Shachko\, one of the founders of the feminist action group Femen. \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:MY FREEDOM | NORDIC & BALTIC OSCAR CONTENDERS
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of My Freedom (dir. Ilze Kunga-Melgaile\, Latvia\, 2023) in the Nordic & Baltic Oscar Contenders series at Scandinavia House! The series returns this year with screenings of films chosen by the Nordic & Baltic countries to compete for the Oscar nomination for the Best International Feature Film\, including this year’s candidate for Latvia. \nBased on historical events\, My Freedom takes place in perestroika-era Latvia\, a time when the winds of change are blowing. The freethinking and charismatic Alicija\, a Latvian of Polish extraction\, is blissfully married to Ilgvars\, a conservatively minded professor of mathematics. Despite her husband’s concerns\, Alicija becomes active in the anti-Soviet Popular Front\, a movement still relegated to the underground. When her friends and peers encourage her to run for a seat in the Latvian Supreme Council\, Alicija receives an anonymous letter threatening to upend her life and her marriage. Unsure of who to trust\, she must consider the question: love or independence? \nPurchase Tickets
