SUMMARY:SEX
DESCRIPTION:“A playful\, insightful character study”—On May 20th\, see SEX\, Norwegian director Dag Johan Haugerud’s second installment of the widely acclaimed Oslo Trilogy! \nAn ambitious trilogy from Norwegian novelist/filmmaker Dag Johan Haugerud\, LOVE–SEX–DREAMS are three distinct feature films linked by their themes of nontraditional intimacy\, but need not be seen in any particular order. In SEX\, two male-identified colleagues who are happily married to women share candidly their secrets: one reveals his unprecedented recent sexual encounter with another man; the other is haunted by a recurring dream featuring David Bowie and his own gender fluidity. Both men — shockingly yet with great sensitivity — seek transparency and understanding with their wives. SEX thus envisions honest\, warm-hearted possibilities for gender expansiveness within heterosexual monogamy\, while also enacting the intricacy of an authentic and generous love. \n“Superbly acted. The film is laced with dry humor but also poignancy and notes of melancholy. [Turns] the male character study on its head with a gentle subversiveness.” (David Rooney\, The Hollywood Reporter) \nPurchase Tickets \n

SUMMARY:BEGINNERS' KNITTING WITH HILARY SNELL
DESCRIPTION:Learn the knitting basics in a workshop led by Scandinavia House’s veteran knitter Hilary Snell! \nThe long-term benefits of knitting are widely recognized. Once you know the basics\, knitting can create what’s called a “flow state\,” similar to meditation. Knitting uses both sides of the brain\, making it a healthy way to focus while also stretching your brain muscles. And there are only two stitches in knitting — by combining those\, you can create hundreds of designs and patterns! \nIn this class designed for those who have never knit before\, or beginners who would like to practice their stitches\, you’ll learn to cast on\, knit and purl. After learning these skills\, you’ll be able to practice independently to make any projects you wish. Participants should bring size 9 US straight needles and some worsted weight yarn — we’ll provide a safe and friendly atmosphere to learn a new life-long skill! \nRegister

SUMMARY:NEXT IN NORDIC AMERICAN ARCHITECTURE: RESILIENCE MEETS WELLBEING
DESCRIPTION:Reflecting on Nordic design’s pivotal role in Modernism in America during the 20th century\, we turn again to the Nordic tradition for its resilient building strategies for climate action and wellbeing that offer tools for today and into the future. The four-part architecture series Nordic American Connections: Conversations on Architecture and Design engages contemporary Nordic and American architects and designers\, highlighting their sustainable design approaches with an emphasis on award-winning projects that shape the American landscape. \nThe fourth panel of the series\, marking Scandinavia House’s 25th Anniversary\, will close the series with contemporary Nordic American architects focusing on the challenges they face as designers in a rapidly changing environment—AI and technology\, economic volatility\, climate vulnerability—and what’s next for future practice. \nThese design leaders will highlight their firms’ approaches to innovation\, research and collaboration\, and cross-cultural influences used in their work. They will share strategies embodied in Nordic design for resilience and wellbeing: use of mass timber and natural materials\, alternative methods of construction\, community building and ‘complete design’. \nParticipants include Daniel Baumann\, Principal and Design Director at Henning Larsen; Bjarke Ingels\, founder of BIG-Bjarke Ingels Group; and Ingalill Wahlroos-Ritter\, Director of Architecture for Communities Los Angeles (ACLA). The program will be moderated by Susan Chin of DesignConnects. \nThe panel is organized by ASF with Susan Chin in collaboration with the American Institute of Architects New York\, and American Institute of Architects Continental Europe. \nTickets are now available HERE. \nAIANY Continuing Education Credits are approved for this session; attendees receive 1.5 Learning Units | 1.5 HSW credits.

SUMMARY:LOVE
DESCRIPTION:“Utterly enrapturing”—On April 29th\, see LOVE\, Norwegian director Dag Johan Haugerud’s first installment of the widely acclaimed Oslo Trilogy! \nAn ambitious trilogy from Norwegian novelist/filmmaker Dag Johan Haugerud\, LOVE–SEX–DREAMS are three distinct feature films linked by their themes of nontraditional intimacy\, but need not be seen in any particular order. LOVE focuses on two colleagues at an Oslo hospital — Marianne\, a straight (and straitlaced) doctor\, and Tor\, a gay male nurse. Both single\, they cross paths by chance after hours and confide in each other: Marianne confesses her desire to be more adventurous and open in her encounters with men; Tor shares his fatigue with Grindr hook-ups. Their conversations form the heart of exploration of desire and emotional fulfillment. \n“Dag Johan Haugerud’s gently humanistic drama is one of those films that feels akin to a prism\, refracting its theme into the array of colors it contains…it’s so beautiful that you want to just keep dwelling in its world.” (Alissa Wilkinson\, The New York Times) \nPurchase Tickets \n

SUMMARY:NORDIC BOOK CLUB ONLINE | THE SCHOOL OF NIGHT
DESCRIPTION:Read and discuss literature with our Nordic Book Club Online! Nordic Book Club meets monthly via Zoom to discuss contemporary literature in translation. On May 12\, 2026\, in coordination with our West Nordic art exhibition Inside Voices\, Outside Light\, we’ll be discussing The School of Night by Karl Ove Knausgård. \nKristian Hadeland\, young and ambitious\, has moved to London to study photography; he knows that he and his art are destined for more. His family never understood him\, and his fellow photography students bore him. But when he meets Hans\, an eccentric Dutch artist\, the future he yearns for becomes possible—as long as he is willing to sacrifice everything and stop at nothing. Twenty-four years later\, Kristian sees his dreams come to fruition when a major retrospective of his work is held in New York City. As his past catches up to him\, Kristian’s world begins to crumble. Success comes at a price\, but is he prepared to pay it? \nIn a thrilling twist on Christopher Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus\, Karl Ove Knausgaard masterfully spins a cautionary tale about the lengths that we will go to achieve success—and how far we are willing to fall. His most daring and macabre novel yet\, The School of Night is an indelible tale about dark temptations and moral depravity\, and what we forget when we bargain with the devil. \nThe School of Night is available in paperback and e-book from Penguin Random House and from Bookshop.org and other retailers. \n\nRegister

SUMMARY:THE SQUARE | SILVER ANNIVERSARY RESCREENS
DESCRIPTION:On May 6\, see The Square to wrap up our series of Silver Anniversary Rescreens! First screened at Scandinavia House in 2018\, this gripping sociological suspense story by director Ruben Östlund dives into the ethics of moral responsibility\, privilege\, and media sensationalism. \n\nChristian is the respected curator of a contemporary art museum\, a divorced but devoted father of two\, who drives an electric car and supports good causes. His next exhibition\, “The Square\,” is an installation that invites passersby to altruistic deeds\, reminding them of their role as responsible human beings. But sometimes it’s difficult to live up to your own ideas: When Christian’s phone is stolen\, his foolish response drags him into a shameful situation. And when the museum’s PR agency creates an unexpected campaign for “The Square\,” the overblown reaction from the public sends Christian\, as well as the museum\, into an existential crisis. \n\n\nThe Square was shortlisted for the 2017 Oscars as the Best Foreign Language Film nominee. It has received numerous distinctions since its premiere\, including six awards at the European Film Awards\, including Best European Film; and the Palme D’Or Winner at the Cannes Film Festival\, 2017. \n“Ruben Östlund’s sprawling and daringly surreal satire The Square turns a contemporary art museum into a city-state of bizarre\, dysfunctional and Ballardian strangeness… It sets out to make your jaw drop. And it succeeds.” —Peter Bradshaw\, The Guardian \n “[Östlund] creates suspense in a new-fangled way\, turning the space between people into an alarming existential battleground.” —Owen Gleiberman\, Variety \n\nPurchase tickets \nThis program has been supported by the Monika and Charles Heimbold Fund for Exhibitions and Programs. \n

SUMMARY:DREAMS
DESCRIPTION:“An intensely compelling story about first love”—On April 29th\, see DREAMS\, Norwegian director Dag Johan Haugerud’s third installment of the widely acclaimed Oslo Trilogy and winner of the Golden Bear at the 2025 Berlin International Film Festival! \n17-year-old Johanne drifts and daydreams like any teenager\, until one day her restlessness morphs into all-consuming passion for her charismatic French teacher\, Johanna. From her vulnerable yet never maudlin inner monologue\, to her frank confessions to her poet grandmother and over-curious mother\, to nuanced scenes of intimacy with Johanna\, Haugerud paints a complex\, endearing\, and intoxicating portrait of youthful infatuation and self-discovery\, laced with the lightest touch of moral inquiry. \n“It sweeps you up\, assuredly and indeed dreamily… The film’s precise juxtapositions of sight and sound produce brilliant flashes of insight…and a cumulatively seductive\, almost musical flow.”  (Justin Chang\, The New Yorker) \nPurchase Tickets \n

SUMMARY:NORTHERN PATTERNS: LEARN TRADITIONAL ARCTIC BEADING DETAILS
DESCRIPTION:This hands-on workshop draws inspiration from the work of master bone carver Inna Eilyuvna Iadne\, whose intricate sculptures and jewelry reflect the cultural depth and artistic traditions of the Indigenous peoples of Yamal. Participants will explore Northern ornamental traditions through beadweaving\, translating symbolic patterns and storytelling elements into contemporary wearable art. \nThrough guided practice\, attendees will learn 1 to 3 beadweaving techniques and create an original jewelry piece such as earrings\, a bracelet\, or a pendant. Along the way\, they will gain insight into the symbolism\, composition\, and cultural context that inform Northern decorative arts\, as seen in Iadne’s meticulous attention to detail and narrative craftsmanship. \nThe workshop aims to develop artistic taste\, strengthen compositional thinking\, and equip participants with the skills to independently design and create meaningful handmade pieces that connect traditional heritage with modern expression. \n\nPurchase tickets

SUMMARY:SUDDEN OUTBURSTS OF EMOTIONS
DESCRIPTION:“An insightful\, compassionate\, and witty debut”—On April 8\, see Sudden Outbursts of Emotions\, a tender dramedy about the complexities of modern love and mid-life crises! \nTravel agent Jane (Iina Kuustonen) lives a comfortable\, stable yuppie existence in Helsinki with Mikki (Riku Nieminen)\, her theatre-actor boyfriend of 10 years. While their sex life appears active and content on the surface\, Jane is thrown for a loop when Mikki suggests trying an “open relationship” to spice things up. Jane is initially resistant but eventually agrees to attend an exclusive sex-positive weekend retreat\, where the 40-ish couple can explore other romantic pursuits. While Mikki wanders off\, Jane bumps into Valma (Laura Malmivaara)\, a free-spirited woman and veteran of the polyamorous lifestyle\, who encourages Jane to explore hidden facets of her love language. As their bond deepens\, Jane finds herself navigating unfamiliar territory—desire\, jealousy\, and self-discovery—while her once-stable life begins to unravel. What began as an experiment in freedom becomes a profound turning point that challenges everything Jane thought she knew about relationships. \nThis debut feature from Finnish TV writer/director Paula Korva\, could be called a “rom-dramedy” for its skillful depiction of the awkwardness\, excitement\, and befuddlement felt by newbies to the 3D chess game of polyamory. Korva treats her characters with grace and humor\, allowing them room to evolve gradually in this modern spin on the joys and absurdities of gender-fluid dating. \nPurchase Tickets \n

SUMMARY:NORDIC BOOK CLUB ONLINE | OUT OF THE BLUE: NEW SHORT FICTION FROM ICELAND
DESCRIPTION:Read and discuss literature with our Nordic Book Club Online! Nordic Book Club meets monthly via Zoom to discuss contemporary literature in translation. On April 7\, 2026\, in coordination with our upcoming West Nordic art exhibition Inside Voices\, Outside Light\, we’ll be discussing Out of the Blue: New Short Fiction from Iceland\, edited by Helen Mitsios. \nThis extraordinary collection\, the first anthology of Icelandic short fiction published in English translation\, features work by twenty of Iceland’s most popular and celebrated living authors—including Andri Snær Magnason\, Jón Kalman Stefánsson\, Kristín Ómarsdóttir\, and Auður Jónsdóttir—granddaughter of Halldór Laxness\, who won the 1955 Nobel Prize in Literature. \nCelebrated in Europe and Scandinavia but less known in the English-speaking world\, these writers traverse realms of darkness and light that will be familiar to readers who have fallen under the spell of Scandinavian fiction. While uniquely Icelandic in topography and tenor\, with a touch of the island’s supernatural charm\, the stories traffic in the enduring and universal complexities of human nature. Here is a fictional universe where the ghosts of Vikings and spirits tread\, volcanoes grumble underfoot\, and writers trip the Northern Lights fantastic across the landscape of the Icelandic imagination. \n\nOut of the Blue is available in paperback and e-book from University of Minnesota Press and from Barnes and Noble and other retailers. \n\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:WOMAN AT WAR | SILVER ANNIVERSARY RESCREENS
DESCRIPTION:“A thoughtful and dynamic blend of genres”—On April 1\, see Woman at War to continue our Silver Anniversary Rescreens! First screened at Scandinavia House in 2020\, this contemporary environmental fable follows one Icelandic woman’s stubborn efforts to be on the right side of history. \nBehind the scenes of her quiet routine\, the independent 50-year-old Halla leads a double life as a passionate environmental activist. Known to others only by her alias “The Woman of the Mountain\,” Halla secretly wages a one-woman-war on the local aluminium industry. As Halla’s actions grow bolder\, from petty vandalism to outright industrial sabotage\, she succeeds in pausing the negotiations between the Icelandic government and the corporation building a new aluminium smelter in the mountains. \nBut right as she begins planning her biggest and boldest operation yet\, she receives an unexpected letter that changes everything: her application to adopt a child has finally been accepted\, and a little girl is waiting for her in Ukraine. As Halla prepares to abandon her role as saboteur and savior of the Highlands to fulfill her dream of becoming a mother\, she decides to plot one final attack to deal the aluminium industry a crippling blow. \n“Deftly centralizes a profound humanity…” (Variety) \nPurchase tickets \nThis program has been supported by the Monika and Charles Heimbold Fund for Exhibitions and Programs. \n

SUMMARY:DEAF (SORDA) | LUX AUDIENCE AWARDS 2026
DESCRIPTION:See five of the shortlisted finalists for this year’s LUX Audience Awards this season at Scandinavia House! On March 27 we’ll be screening Deaf (Sorda)\, a “beautifully nuanced” debut by Spanish director Eva Libertad. Winner of the International Confederation of Arthouse Cinemas and the coveted Audience Award at the Panorama Section of the Berlinale\, Sorda offers a personal\, vital\, and profoundly moving look into the complexity and rarely explored relationship between the deaf and hearing worlds. \nÁngela\, a deaf woman\, and Héctor\, her hearing partner\, are expecting a child. They are excited about the pregnancy\, although they do not yet know whether the baby will be deaf or hearing. Despite both claiming they can handle whatever comes\, their underlying concerns are evident. After a complicated and emotionally intense labor\, Ángela gives birth to their daughter\, but the pair will have to wait a couple of months to learn if the baby is hearing or not. Navigating this limbo\, Héctor struggles to fully grasp the challenges Ángela is facing\, while she must come to terms with raising a daughter who may not share her experience of the world.

SUMMARY:THE GOOD TRAITOR
DESCRIPTION:On March 26\, Scandinavia House is proud to present the 2020 film The Good Traitor (Vores mand I Amerika)! \nApril 9\, 1940: Denmark is invaded by Nazi Germany with demands for immediate and unconditional surrender. The government surrenders after a few hours and begins cooperating with the Nazis. On the other side of the Atlantic is Denmark’s ambassador to the United States of America\, a daredevil and a man of the world — Henrik Kauffmann\, who is willing to put everything on the line. He refuses to follow the German directives and engineers a rebellious plan to defeat Hitler and give the Danish people their freedom back. \nBased on a true story and starring Ulrich Thomsen\, Burn Gorman\, and Zoë Tapper\, The Good Traitor explores the actions of Ambassador Kauffmann’s unsung heroism in WWII history. \nPurchase Tickets
