SUMMARY:FJORD | NORDIC & BALTIC OSCAR CONTENDERS
DESCRIPTION:“A brilliantly knotted social drama” (Variety) — On November 10\, Scandinavia House presents a special screening of the 2026 Palme d’Or winner and Romania’s official entry for Best International Feature Film at the 99th Academy Awards: the thorny\, riveting\, and Norwegian-set drama Fjord. \nRomanian-Norwegian couple Lisbet (Renate Reinsve) and Mihai (Sebastian Stan) move with their five children to Lisbet’s remote Norwegian hometown\, where their conservative Evangelical beliefs set them apart from the otherwise progressive community.  When they come under suspicion over their parenting\, Norway’s child-protection system enters their private lives\, and as their beliefs face public scrutiny\, a clash of values turns into an morally prickly battle over who gets to decide what constitutes a good family. \nA foundational figure of 21st-century Romanian cinema\, Cristian Mungiu earned his second Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival for this searing\, discomfiting social drama. Sebastian Stan and Renate Reinsve give superbly restrained performances as Mihai and Lisbet. Mungiu refuses to supply easy answers or simple paths to identification in this compelling provocation\, which poses unresolvable questions to viewers about our biases and presumptions. Fjord returns the director to many of his recurring themes: the freedom of the individual within contemporary political systems\, the culture clash between modernity and tradition\, and how human care can imperceptibly evolve into a form of control. \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:GROWTH OF THE SOIL | WITH HANS PETTER MOLAND & ASTA KAMMA AUGUST
DESCRIPTION:On November 11\, Scandinavia House presents a special screening and director talk of Norway’s official entry for Best International Feature Film at the 99th Academy Awards: the “robustly classical\, weatherbeaten” epic Growth of the Soil! This program takes place as part of our Films from the Fjords series. The screening will be followed by a film talk with director Hans Petter Moland and lead actor Asta Kamma August. \nA stranger appears over the mountain\, carrying little more than his determination. Isak (Herbert Nordrum\, The Worst Person in the World)\, a man without a past\, seeks a place to settle and carve life from the earth. High above the tree line\, he finds a barren stretch of land\, as unforgiving as it is full of promise. The land tests him to his limits\, until he meets Inger (Asta Kamma August)\, a solitary woman shaped by resilience and quiet secrecy. Together\, they endure the elements and build a life\, cultivating both the soil and a growing family as the seasons turn. Yet as years pass and the world closes in\, and time\, hardship and desire reshape them. \nA director best known for his collaborations with actor Stellan Skarsgård\, Hans Petter Moland demonstrates formidable command of his art with this powerful and richly textured adaptation of Growth of the Soil\, the 1917 novel that won its author Knut Hamsun the Nobel Prize in Literature. Sharing the original’s fervently realistic style and reverence for the natural world\, Moland’s latest feature opens as the captivating story of one man’s battle with a dauntingly rugged environment. \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:BELOVED | SCREENING & FILM TALK: FILMS FROM THE FJORDS
DESCRIPTION:“A love story full of the unspoken\, tenderness\, and mystery” — On November 12\, Scandinavia House presents a special screening to wrap up our Films From the Fjords series: the sparse\, beautifully-rendered drama Beloved. The screening will be accompanied by a film talk (details TBA). \nIn a small coastal town\, Asle and Gerd find each other in a tavern and become parents to a boy\, building a seemingly-idyllic life in the crook of the fjord. But soon enough\, their perfect love is put to test. Asle\, a sailor\, is inexorably drawn by the call of the sea\, leaving Gerd alone with the child as distance grows between them. Told in Fosse’s minimalist style\, through silence\, glances and landscape\, the story rests on deep compassion for three lives\, and asks how much distance love can endure before it breaks. \n\nDirected by internationally acclaimed Norwegian filmmaker Erik Poppe (U-July 22\, 2018; Quisling\, 2024)\, BELOVED is an intimate relationship drama based on the only original screenplay by 2023 Nobel Prize-winning author Jon Fosse\, whose minimalist and deeply human language shapes a story of love\, distance and emotional rupture. Poppe’s precise visual storytelling and profound sensitivity to human vulnerability elevate the narrative into a universal exploration of intimacy\, absence and the fragile architecture of family life. The film stars Leo Magnus de la Nuez (Beforeigners\, 2019) and Kristi-Helene Giæver Engeberg (War Sailor\, 2022). \n\nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:SEASIDERS | SCREENING & DIRECTOR TALK: FILMS FROM THE FJORDS
DESCRIPTION:On November 14\, Scandinavia House presents a special screening as a part of our Films From the Fjords series: the witty\, unrestrained documentary Seasiders. Directors Elisabeth Kleppe\, Henrik Hylland Uhlving\, and Elin Sander will be present for a Q&A following the screening. \nBlending a century of archive footage with the voices of storytellers\, Seasiders follows the Norwegian coast and its people through different eras\, memories and experiences. These people live at the mercy of the unruly weather and sea\, far from the centers of power – facing the open horizon and the world beyond. How has this affected their disposition\, sense of community and way of life? Do the people of the sea have their own distinct identity\, and is it still alive today?  \n\nGarnering the Launch of the Year title at the 2026 Norwegian International Film Festival\, SEASIDERS is a humorous\, epic and unsentimental love letter to the people who live along Norway’s coastline. Combining unique historical archive footage with the passionate storytellers from the coast\, the film is an abundant depiction of a culture anchoring many\, and concerning everyone. \n\nPurchase Tickets
