SUMMARY:SOLD OUT — REYKJAVÍK: A CRIME STORY
DESCRIPTION:*This event is now sold out.* \nPrime Minister of Iceland Katrín Jakobsdóttir and international best-selling crime fiction author Ragnar Jónasson discuss their collaboration on Reykjavik: A Crime Story\, a lauded novel set during a transformative time in Iceland’s history — 1986\, a year that saw the city’s 200th anniversary and the Reagan-Gorbachev conference. The event will be moderated by Otto Penzler (owner of The Mysterious Bookshop\, NYC). \nIn 1956\, 14-year-old Lára decides to spend the summer working for a couple on the small island of Videy\, just off the coast of Reykjavík\, only to disappear without a trace in early August. As time passes\, the mystery becomes Iceland’s most infamous unsolved case. What happened to the young girl? Is she still alive? Did she leave the island\, or did something happen to her there? \nThirty years later\, as the city of Reykjavík celebrates its 200th anniversary\, journalist Valur Robertsson begins his own investigation into Lára’s case. \nBut as he draws closer to discovering the secret\, and with the eyes of Reykjavík upon him\, it soon becomes clear that Lára’s disappearance is a mystery that someone will stop at nothing to keep unsolved… \nBooks will be available for purchase and signing. \n“A slow-burning\, spellbinding whodunit. Agatha Christie\, to whom it’s dedicated\, would be proud” —Kirkus Reviews \nRegister

SUMMARY:MY SAILOR\, MY LOVE
DESCRIPTION:“A poignant and achingly moving tale of love and loss” — on September 15\, see Finnish filmmaker Klaus Härö’s My Sailor\, My Love at Scandinavia House! \nHoward (James Cosmo) is a widowed sailor living alone on the coast of Ireland. As he struggles to care for himself\, his daughter\, Grace (Catherine Walker) hires Annie (Bríd Brennan) to help out around the house. Though Howard initially rejects this imposition\, Annie’s charm and gentle care win him over\, and the two fall in love. But where Annie’s large and loving family welcomes Howard into their lives\, the new relationships only serve to illuminate the depth of pain and hurt between Howard and Grace\, who is facing challenges of her own. As her resentment tears at an otherwise idyllic love story\, they must learn to heal wounds of the past. \n\n\nA windswept drama deftly balances a universal family saga with a tender and timeless romance\, My Sailor\, My Love is “filled with sage wisdom and vulnerable people struggling to do the best that they can even when they are at their worst…a lovely indie” (San Jose Mercury News). \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:SICK OF MYSELF
DESCRIPTION:This fall at Scandinavia House\, experience Nordic comedy at its darkest with “Svart Humor”! “If there’s a dead body in Denmark\, someone is going to make a joke about it\,” director Anders Jensen once said; Nordic comedies are as known for their deadpan\, dry wit as for their occasionally noir subject matter\, celebrating the “svart/sort” (dark) side of life’s hilarities. \nThe series kicks off on September 13 with Sick of Myself /Syk Pike (dir. Kristoffer Borgli\, Norway/Denmark/Sweden/France\, 2022)\, a biting Norwegian satire hailed as “a 95-minute-long insanity spiral and nihilist’s delight” (Cinemacy)! Self-involved young Oslo residents Signe (Kristine Kujath) and Thomas (Eirik Sæther) are a perfectly toxic match; both are equally insufferable and desperate to be noticed. \nBut when Thomas’s burgeoning artistic success tips the power balance too far in his favor\, rising to fame with his sculptures made of stolen furniture\, Signe becomes hell-bent on attracting attention and sympathy\, beginning with faking a nut allergy. As she seeks out more drastic ways to reclaim attention within the milieu of Oslo’s culture elite\, the results become increasingly grotesque. \nA pitch-black “unromantic comedy” shot through with elements of Cronenbergian horror that was one of the highlights of Cannes 2022 (and one of John Waters’ “Best Films of 2022” and NY Magazine’s “Best Movies of 2023” )\, Sick of Myself is a delightfully unsparing dissection of our warped\, celebrity-obsessed times. \n“A cross between the malicious wit of Ruben Östlund’s recent pictures and the lurid excesses of John Waters’ early film Female Trouble… Comedies don’t get much darker than this”—The Guardian \nRegister

SUMMARY:MARTIN A HANSEN'S THE LIAR
DESCRIPTION:Read and discuss Scandinavian literature in translation as part of our Nordic Book Club\, now online! Each month we select a novel from some of the best Nordic literary voices. On September 12\, we’ll be discussing Martin A. Hansen’s The Liar\, one of the greatest works of modern Scandinavian fiction\, out now in new translation by Paul Larkin\, who recently discussed the book with us in a talk streaming here. \nFirst published in 1950\, The Liar tells the story of Johannes Lye\, a teacher and parish clerk on tiny Sand Island off the coast of Denmark\, a place that in winter is entirely cut off from the world at large by ice. It is winter when the book begins\, and for years now Johannes has lived alone\, even as he nurses a secret passion for Annemari\, a former pupil. Annemari is engaged to a local man\, Olaf\, who has left the island but is due to return come spring. She is also being courted by a young engineer from the mainland. \n\n\nSuch are the chief players in a compact drama\, recorded in Johannes’s ironic\, self-lacerating\, and anything but reliable diary. \nMartin A. Hansen’s novel beautifully evokes the stark landscape of Sand Island and the immemorial circuit of the seasons as well as the mysterious passage of time in the human heart\, all the while proceeding to a supremely suspenseful conclusion. \n“A great work of art. . . . There is a palpable unease in every sentence.” —Tom Kristensen \nRegister

SUMMARY:FORCE MAJEURE
DESCRIPTION:This summer at Scandinavia House\, see the critically acclaimed Nordic films that inspired American remakes in the series “The Nordics Do It Better”! You’ve seen the Hollywood version — did you know how good the original was?\n\nOn August 2\, see Swedish director Ruben Östlund’s wickedy funny and precisely observed psychodrama Force Majeure /Turist\, which in 2020 was adapted in the U.S. as the film Downhill starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Will Ferrell. Swedish businessman Tomas (Johannes Kuhnke)\, his willowy wife Ebba (Lisa Loven Kongsli)\, and their two blond children seem to be a model family during their skiing holiday in the French Alps. \n\n\nBut one perfect\, sunny ski day\, the family is enjoying lunch at a mountainside when disaster strikes — an avalanche threatens to bury them along with diners at a mountainside restaurant. As people flee in all directions and as his wife and children panic\, Tomas makes a decision that will shake his marriage to its core and leave him struggling to reclaim his role as family patriarch. \nForce Majeure questions some of our guarded truths: What if you learn that you are not the person you thought you were? \n \n\nPURCHASE TICKETS

SUMMARY:IN ORDER OF DISAPPEARANCE
DESCRIPTION:This summer at Scandinavia House\, see the critically acclaimed Nordic films that inspired American remakes in the series “The Nordics Do It Better”! You’ve seen the Hollywood version — did you know how good the original was? \nA vengeance tale with equal parts Coen Brothers humor and Tarantino-style action\, In Order of Disappearance /Kraftidioten (Norway\, 2016) stars Stellan Skarsgård as the introverted and hard-working snowplow drive Nils\, who has just been named “Citizen of the Year” when he receives news that his son has died of a heroin overdose. Disbelieving the official report\, Nils soon uncovers evidence that his son was murdered as a result of a turf war between a buffoonish local mob boss known as “The Count” (Pål Sverre Hagan) and his Serbian rivals. \n  \n\n\nArmed with heavy machinery and a good dose of beginner’s luck\, Nils embarks upon a quest for revenge that soon escalates into full-blown war\, with the body count spiraling ever higher among drug traffickers\, con artists\, and kingpins. A wintry thriller with satisfying intelligence — and more than a few laughs — In Order of Disappearance was remade by Norwegian director Hans Petter Moland in 2019 as the American thriller Cold Pursuit\, starring Liam Neeson. \n\n \nPURCHASE TICKETS

SUMMARY:LET THE RIGHT ONE IN
DESCRIPTION:This summer at Scandinavia House\, see the critically acclaimed Nordic films that inspired American remakes in the series “The Nordics Do It Better”! You’ve seen the Hollywood version — did you know how good the original was? \nOn July 19\, see the critically lauded Swedish romantic horror film Let the Right One In /Låt den rätte komma in (dir. Tomas Alfredson\, 2008)\, based on the 2004 novel of the same name by John Ajvide Lindqvist\, which was later adapted to the 2010 American film Let Me In (starring Kodi Smit-McPhee and Chloë Grace Moretz) and the 2022 Showtime TV series Let the Right One In. A fragile\, anxious boy\, 12-year-old Oskar is regularly bullied by his stronger classmates but never strikes back. His wish for a friend seems to come true when he meets Eli\, a pale and serious young girl who has just moved in next door with her father\, and who only comes out at night. Coinciding with her arrival\, a series of inexplicable disappearances and murders occur — in which blood seems to be the common denominator. \n\n\nAs Oscar begins to realize that Eli may be more than she first seemed\, a subtle romance also begins to blossom between them\, as Eli gives him strength to fight back against his aggressors. But as he also becomes increasingly aware of the tragic and inhuman dimensions of Eli’s plight\, he also cannot bring himself to forsake her. \nHailed as “a spectrally beautiful vampire film that’s more than the sum of its chills and estimable technique” (Manohla Dargis\, NY Times)\, Let the Right One In won numerous awards including four Guldbagge Awards\, the Founders Award for Best Narrative Feature at Tribeca Film Festival\, the Méliès d’Argent (Silver Méliès)\, and others. Swedish filmmaker Tomas Alfredson weaves friendship\, rejection and loyalty into a disturbing and darkly atmospheric\, yet poetic and unexpectedly tender tableau of adolescence. \n\n\n \n  \nPURCHASE TICKETS

SUMMARY:THE GUILTY
DESCRIPTION:This summer at Scandinavia House\, see the critically acclaimed Nordic films that inspired American remakes in the series “The Nordics Do It Better”! You’ve seen the Hollywood version — but did you know how good the original was?\n\n\n\n\nOn July 11\, see 2018 Danish crime thriller The Guilty /Den Skyldige (dir. Gustav Möller\, Denmark\, 2018)\, which was in 2021 was remade as the Netflix film The Guilty\, starring and produced by Jake Gyllenhaal. When police officer Asger Holm (Jakob Cedergren) is demoted to deskwork\, he expects a sleepy beat as an emergency dispatcher. But that all changes when one night he receives an emergency call from a kidnapped woman — who states that she is currently being driven out of Copenhagen against her will — and he embarks on an increasingly hair-raising journey to probe the mystery by any means necessary. \n\n\nAs he uses others as his eyes and ears to bring the missing woman to safety\, a ticking clock and his own personal demons conspire against him\, and the search to find her and her assailant will take every bit of his intuition and skill. \nIn this innovative and unrelenting Danish thriller that uses a single location to great effect\,  director Gustav Möller expertly frames the increasingly messy proceedings against the clean Scandinavian sterility of the police department\, while Cedergren’s strong performance places the audience squarely in Holm’s tragically flawed yet well-intentioned mindspace. Shortlisted as the Danish submission for Best Foreign Language Film at the 91st Academy Awards\, The Guilty was hailed as “a masterclass in wringing breathless tension from just a few key ingredients” (Wendy Ide\, Observer). \n\n\n\n \n\nPURCHASE TICKETS

SUMMARY:MY MEN
DESCRIPTION:Join us on July 12 for a book talk with Norwegian author Victoria Kielland on My Men\, a fictional account of one broken woman’s descent into inescapable madness\, out on June 27 from Astra Publishing House! Kielland will discuss her novel\, which is based on the true story of Norwegian maid turned Midwestern farmwife Belle Gunness\, the first known female serial killer in American history\, with translator Damian Searls. \nAmong thousands of other Norwegian immigrants seeking freedom\, Brynhild Størset emigrated to the American Upper Midwest in the late 19th century\, changing her name and her life. As Bella\, later Belle Gunness\, she came in search of not only fortune and true faith but\, most of all\, love. In this literary reimagining of her harrowing true story\, Kielland’s Belle grows increasingly alienated\, ruthless\, and perversely compelling in her pursuit of the American Dream. Raw\, visceral\, and altogether hypnotic\, My Men is a brutal yet radically empathetic glimpse into the world of a woman consumed by desire. \n\n\nThis event will take place at Scandinavia House. Advance registration is recommended; sign up at the link above. \n“This fascinating\, off-kilter novel about a female serial killer is an unexpectedly thrilling read.”\n—Karl Ove Knausgård\, author of My Struggle and The Morning Star \n“Kielland’s dense\, lyrical novel offers both insight and opacity . . .  Despite the subject matter\, this novel is not your typical thriller. The language\, in Searls’ translation\, is dense\, poetic\, and deeply figurative.” —Kirkus Reviews

SUMMARY:EVIL FLOWERS BY GUNNHILD ØYEHAUG
DESCRIPTION:Read and discuss Scandinavian literature in translation as part of our Nordic Book Club\, now online! Each month we select a novel from some of the best Nordic literary voices. On July 11\, we’ll be discussing Evil Flowers by award-winning Norwegian writer Gunnhild Øyehaug (Present Tense Machine)\, who recently discussed the book with us in a virtual talk streaming here. \nIn Evil Flowers\, a precise but madcap collection of short stories now in translation by Kari Dickson\, Gunnhild Øyehaug extracts the bizarre from the mundane and reveals the strange\, startling brilliance of everyday life. A section of a woman’s brain slips into the toilet bowl\, removing her ability to remember or recognize types of birds — though she is an ornithologist. Medicinal leeches ingest information from fiberoptic cables\, and a new museum sinks into the ground. \n\n\nAcross 25 stories\, Øyehaug renovates the form again and again\, confirming Lydia Davis’s observation that her every story is “a formal surprise\, smart and droll.” Inspired by Charles Baudelaire\, a dreamer and romantic in the era of realism\, Øyehaug revolts against the ordinary\, reaching instead for the wonder to be found in fantasy and absurdity. \nBrimming with wit\, ingenuity\, and irrepressible joy\, these stories mark another triumph from a dazzling international writer. \nREGISTER

DESCRIPTION:This summer at Scandinavia House\, see the critically acclaimed Nordic films that inspired American remakes in the series “The Nordics Do It Better”! You’ve seen the Hollywood version — did you know how good the original was? \nThe series kicks off with a June 28 screening of A Man Called Ove /En man som heter Ove\, the comic and touching tale of Ove\, a stubborn\, short-tempered\, and cantankerous widower who is given a new lease on life after meeting a new and very different neighbor\, which has now been remade in the Tom Hanks-led 2022 film A Man Called Otto in theaters now. Based on the international best-selling novel of the same name by Fredrik Backman\, and adapted for the screen by writer-director Hannes Holm\, A Man Called Ove is one of Sweden’s biggest hits and won the 2016 Audience\, Best Actor\, and Best Make-Up Guldbagge awards (Sweden’s Academy Awards). \n\n\nOve (Rolf Lassgård) is a widower\, recently downsized out of his longtime job\, and the grumpiest man on the block. Despite being voted out as president of the resident’s association years ago\, he still polices all neighborhood infractions with an iron fist. When pregnant Parvaneh (Bahar Pars) and her family move into the house opposite Ove’s\, they accidentally back their car into his mailbox\, beginning an unexpected friendship between the curmudgeon and his newest neighbors. \nUnfolding in both the present and the past\, writer-director Hannes Holm gradually reveals the events that have led a sensitive and resourceful small town boy to grow into the older man whose prickly exterior is but a facade for a rich\, multi-layered\, and ultimately poignant character. \n \n\n\n\n  \n\n\nPURCHASE TICKETS

SUMMARY:HISTORJÁ – STITCHES FOR SÁPMI
DESCRIPTION:On June 21\, see the powerful documentary Historjá – Stitches For Sápmi (dir. Thomas Jackson\, Sweden\, 2022)\, depicting world-renowned artist and activist Britta Marakatt-Labba’s battle for her culture against the threats of climate change\, presented in coordination with our ongoing exhibition Arctic Highways!\n\n\nBritta Marakatt-Labba has for decades depicted the indigenous Samí people’s mythology\, relation to nature and political struggle\, as in her piece Historjá\, a 24-meter-long embroidery depicting motifs from Sami history. With small stitches\, Marakatt-Labba evokes the history and mythology of the Sami people\, as well as stories of colonialism\, state-supported racism and political strife. After decades of protesting her people’s rights through art\, she is now facing another struggle: the fight against climate change as it threatens traditional ways of life on the Arctic tundra. After generations of family reindeer-herding\, will her son be able to carry on the family tradition? \n“Nature truly comes alive in this stunningly beautiful story about the Sámi worldview and mythology” (Business Doc Europe); Historjá is a poetic and visually stunning story of indigenous peoples’ struggle against climate change\, told through the visual landscape of one of the world’s most sought-after artists\, who represented Sapmi and Sweden at the Nordic pavilion in the Venice Biennale\, 2022. Winner of Best Documentary Film\, Guldbaggen Awards 2023. \n \n\n\n\n\n\nPURCHASE TICKETS

SUMMARY:IN CONVERSATION: SIMEN JOHAN WITH W.M. HUNT
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion with acclaimed artist Simen Johan in conversation with curator\, writer and collector W.M. Hunt on the publication of Johan’s third monograph\, published by powerHouse Books. With a unique creative process that combines candid wildlife photography with digital manipulation\, cinematic drama\, and a painterly approach\, Simen Johan summons a metaphorically dense world into being where human fantasy and nature collide. Representing 15 years of the artist’s career and gathered here for the very first time in this deluxe volume are his celebrated uncanny animal portraits\, otherworldly landscapes\, and psychologically-charged narrative natural scenes. \nEach image reveals poetic and often unexpected relationships that speak to the illusory and multifaceted nature of existence. Tensions between what is revealed and what is concealed\, what is alluring and what is menacing\, what is fact and what is fiction\, both shape and unsettle the scenes. Johan presents us with paradoxical photographic worlds that echo uncanny versions of our own. \n\n\nThis event will take place at Scandinavia House. Advance registration is recommended; sign up at the link above. Catalogues will be available for purchase. \n“Johan’s photographs underscore the importance of the creative act in photography\, not as an act in itself\, but as a means towards a conceptual and narrative goal.” —David E. Little\, Executive Director of the International Center of Photography \nSpecial thanks to the Royal Norwegian Consulate\, New York. \n \n\n\n\nREGISTER

SUMMARY:MUNCH
DESCRIPTION:On June 14\, see the epic and time-shifting biopic of one of the world’s most significant modern painters\, Henrik M. Dahlsbakken’s Munch (Norway\, 2023)! Misunderstood by his peers\, rejected by the art establishment\, wracked with grief over the loss of his younger sister and tortured by addiction\, the Norwegian artist Edvard Munch remains today one of the most relevant and revered artists worldwide. In this intimate and nuanced portrait of the artist across four significant chapters  — played by four actors\, Alfred Ekker Strande (Ida Takes Charge)\, Mattis Herman Nyquist (Headhunters)\, Ola G. Furuseth (Made in Oslo) and Anne Krigsvoll (Lilyhammer) — we see Munch at ages 21\, 30\, 45\, and 80\, across early heartbreak and the beginnings of his career to middle-aged battles with alcoholism and mental illness\, to his final years in Nazi-occupied Norway\, each informing one another through alternating vignettes. A final chapter takes place in modern-day Berlin\, bringing a contemporary edge to the story of a legendary artist.\n\n“A multifaceted three-century portrait of a character unbound by location… In reinterpreting the conventional biopic\, Munch captures the spirit of the man as opposed to his mere life” (Journey Into Cinema) \n \nSpecial thanks to Juno Films. Munch opens theatrically at The Quad on June 16. \n\n\n\n\n\nPURCHASE TICKETS

SUMMARY:THE FRIDAY NIGHT CLUB: A NOVEL OF ARTIST HILMA AF KLINT
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a talk with authors Sofia Lundberg\, Alyson Richman and M.J. Rose on their new book The Friday Night Club: A Novel of Artist Hilma af Klint and Her Creative Circle\, out May 16 from Penguin Random House! The authors will discuss their illuminating historical novel about the groundbreaking Swedish artist af Klint\, considered now to be the true creator of abstractionism\, and four of her contemporaries.\n\n\n\nIt’s the early 1900s\, and the world belongs to men. The art world in Stockholm\, Sweden\, is no different\, until Hilma af Klint brings together a mysterious group of female painters and writers—Anna\, Cornelia\, Sigrid\, and Mathilda—to form their own emotional and artistic support system. The members of the Friday Night Club find themselves thrust into uncharted territory when Hilma and her best friend\, Anna\, begin dabbling in the occult\, believing that through séances they can channel unseen spirits to help them achieve their potential as artists. “The Five\,” as Hilma referred to them\, was a group of immensely talented\, fascinating women whose lives and work were cast into obscurity… until now. \nOver a century later\, an associate curator at the Guggenheim Museum\, Eben Elliot\, brings the Hilma af Klint show to New York where he uncovers questions about the Five and how the modern day art world is funded\, which puts him in a precarious position both emotionally and professionally\, as he witnesses how history can be manipulated. \n\n\nWith rich characterizations\, evocative language\, and a seamless narrative\, Lundberg\, Richman\, and Rose bring to life Hilma af Klint and her creative circle\, who influenced the course of modern art but whose stories have never been told before. \nNew York Times bestselling coauthor of The Personal Librarian\, Marie Benedict\, says\, “Co-authors Sofia Lundberg\, Alyson Richman\, and M.J. Rose have unearthed the captivating story of the ground-breaking Swedish artist Hilma af Klint\, arguably the world’s first abstract artist who may well have inspired male painters like Wassily Kandinksy who typically receive credit for pioneering abstraction. This spell-binding exploration of the life and legacy of a long-forgotten woman and the circle of gifted friends who worked alongside her is a must-read.” \nThis program will take place in-person at Scandinavia House.

SUMMARY:Stolen by Ann-Helén Laestadius
DESCRIPTION:Read and discuss Scandinavian literature in translation as part of our Nordic Book Club\, now online! Each month we select a novel from some of the best Nordic literary voices. On June 6\, we’ll be discussing the novel Stolen by Ann-Helén Laestadius\, out now in translation by Rachel Willson-Broyles from Simon & Schuster. \nLouise Erdrich meets Jo Nesbø in this spellbinding Swedish novel that follows a young indigenous woman as she struggles to defend her family’s reindeer herd and culture amidst xenophobia\, climate change\, and a devious hunter whose targeted kills are considered mere theft in the eyes of the law. On a winter day north of the Arctic Circle\, nine-year-old Elsa—daughter of Sámi reindeer herders—sees a man brutally kill her beloved reindeer calf and threaten her into silence. When her father takes her to report the crime\, local police tell them that there is nothing they can do about these “stolen” animals. \nKillings like these are classified as theft in the reports that continue to pile up\, uninvestigated. But reindeer are not just the Sámi’s livelihood\, they also hold spiritual significance; attacking a reindeer is an attack on the culture itself. \nTen years later\, hatred and threats against the Sámi keep escalating\, and more reindeer are tortured and killed in Elsa’s community. Finally\, she’s had enough and decides to push back on the apathetic police force—but the hunter comes after her this time\, leading to a catastrophic final confrontation. \nBased on real events\, Ann-Helén Laestadius’s award-winning novel Stolen is part coming-of-age story\, part love song to a disappearing natural world\, and part electrifying countdown to a dramatic resolution—a searing depiction of a forgotten part of Sweden. \n“Nuanced . . . an affecting portrait of the Sámi’s disenfranchisement . . . [and] a family torn apart by cultural tensions” —Publishers Weekly \nAnn-Helén Laestadius is an author and journalist from Kiruna\, Sweden. She is Sámi and of Tornedalian descent\, two of Sweden’s national minorities. \nIn 2016\, Laestadius was awarded the prestigious August Prize for Best Young Adult and Children’s Novel for Ten Past One\, for which she was also awarded Norrland’s Literature Prize. Stolen is her first adult novel and was named Sweden’s Book of the Year.
