SUMMARY:NORDIC BOOK CLUB ONLINE | LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR
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 December 9\, we’ll be discussing Lowest Common Denominator by Finnish author Pirkko Saisio\, translated from the Finnish by Mia Spangenberg. \n\nFor readers of Eileen Myles and Patti Smith\, Lowest Common Denominator is an ecstatic coming-of-age novel by the Finlandia-prize-winning author of The Red Book of Farewells \n\n\nWriting in the wake of her father’s death\, the narrator of Pirkko Saisio’s autofictional novel transports us to the 1950s Finland of her youth\, where she navigates life as an only child of communist parents. Convinced she will grow up to become a man\, a young Saisio keeps trying and failing to meet the expectations of the adults around her. Writing with her trademark wit and style\, each formative experience—with the Big Bad Wolf\, a bikini-clad circus announcer\, and Jesus Christ “who has a beard like a man but a skirt and long hair like a woman”—drives her further and further from her family and others. Struggling to understand her place in the world around her\, it’s in language that she discovers a refuge and a way to be seen at last. \nLowest Common Denominator is available in hardback and ebook from Bookshop.org and Amazon\, and in hardback from the Center for the Art of Translation. \n\n“Saisio beautifully captures the wonder and horror that can coexist in a child’s imagination”—Publishers Weekly \nRegister

SUMMARY:VIKTOR | NORDIC & BALTIC OSCAR CONTENDERS
DESCRIPTION:On December 10\, Scandinavia House presents a special screening and film talk of Denmark’s official entry for Best Documentary Feature Film at the 98th Academy Awards: the bold war documentary Viktor\, followed by a Q&A with director Olivier Sarbil. \nViktor\nDir. Olivier Sarbil | Denmark/Ukraine/France/United States of America\, 2024 \nFusing rigorous reportage with innovative cinematic subjectivity\, this bold documentary from veteran war photographer Olivier Sarbil is a uniquely intimate portrait of a Deaf person’s experience of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. \nPhotographer and samurai aficionado Viktor lives with his mother in Kharkiv\, Ukraine\, just 20 miles from the Russian border\, when the invasion begins. As a Deaf man denied the opportunity to fight\, his military ambitions shift from combat to documenting the war. With striking black-and-white cinematography and distinctive sound design\, the film immerses the viewer in Viktor’s powerful journey through air raids\, evacuations\, and the eerie silences in between. \nOne of the rare documentaries to premiere in the prestigious Platform programme at TIFF\, Viktor beautifully weaves black and white imagery with sound design that reflects Viktor’s own experience of the world. Acclaimed filmmaker and veteran war cinematographer Olivier Sarbil (Mosul\, On The President’s Orders) brought his unique experience with conflict and single-sided deafness to his relationship with Viktor\, creating a close collaboration that is\nreflected in the personal\, intimate story that unfolds on screen. Through his lens\, the audience witnesses a raw and intimate engagement with a war-torn world\, amplifying both the personal and universal impact of conflict. \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:KON TIKI
DESCRIPTION:“Seaworthy\, and then some” —on January 7\, see Kon Tiki and help bring our Silver Anniversary Rescreens into 2026! Directed by Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg\, this epic adventure film dramatizes Norwegian anthropologist Thor Heyerdahl’s real-life 1947 expedition across the Pacific on a balsawood raft. \nNorway’s most expensive production to date\, Kon Tiki (Norway\, 2013) was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film at the 85th Academy Awards\, and was screened here at Scandinavia House as a part of our Nordic Oscar Contenders in 2013. Now\, for our 25th anniversary\, we return to Heyerdahl’s (Pål Sverre Hagen) epic gambit to prove that South Americans had settled in the Polynesian islands\, a theory that remains a matter of debate\, and to retrace their steps using only the resources available to potential pre-Columbian settlers. \nThough he himself cannot swim or sail\, he sets out on the treacherous 4\,300-nautical-mile journey across the Pacific from Peru to Polynesia aboard the small raft– the Kon Tiki\, named after the Inca sun god –along with his crew of five men (and a macaw named Lorita). Kon Tiki takes us through the exploits of Heyerdahl and the embattled crew as they embark on their three-month sail equipped with only a radio– facing down tidal waves\, sharks\, and demons of the deep. \n“A ravishingly photographed\, old-fashioned man-against-the-elements epic propelled by human-scaled heroics.” (RogerEbert.com) \n“A rousing and thoroughly enjoyable Old Hollywood-style adventure…” (NPR) \nPurchase tickets \nThis program has been supported by the Monika and Charles Heimbold Fund for Exhibitions and Programs. \n

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT — MR. NOBODY AGAINST PUTIN + EXTREMIST | NORDIC & BALTIC OSCAR CONTENDERS
DESCRIPTION:*This event is now sold out.* \nOn January 9\, Scandinavia House presents a special double screening featuring two eligible films for the 98th Academy Awards: the poignant first-hand documentary Mr. Nobody Against Putin\, Denmark’s official entry for Best International Feature Film\, and the Oscar-eligible animated short Extremist (Latvia)\, followed by director talks by Pasha Talankin and David Borenstein. \nMr. Nobody Against Putin\nDir. Pavel Talankin & David Borenstein | Denmark & Czech Republic\, 2025 | 90 min\nIn Russian with English subtitles \n“A must-watch\, indelible document of ideological warfare”—Pasha Talankin is an unlikely hero: a beloved Russian primary school teacher\, known as a mentor and prankster who offers students a safe haven in his office. After Russia invades Ukraine\, Pasha’s role in the school changes dramatically as he is reluctantly drawn into Putin’s propaganda machine. Forced to promote state-sanctioned messages and horrified by the militarization of his school and community\, he wrestles with guilt and a sense of powerlessness\, leading him to become an international whistleblower. \nAs the school’s videographer\, Pasha documents intimate and revealing footage of Putin’s regime\, capturing the rise of militarized children’s groups\, repressive laws\, fervent nationalism\, and the recruitment of graduating students to fight in the war. When he learns his own life may be at risk\, Pasha is forced to plan a dangerous escape from Russia. \nThe winner of the World Cinema Documentary Special Jury Award at Sundance\, this uniquely collaborative film is as captivating and joyful as it is eye-opening and sobering. Mr. Nobody Against Putin showcases rare footage that reveals the profound impact of Putin’s regime on the lives of everyday Russians\, particularly its children. \nЭкстремистка / Extremist\nDir. Aleksandr Molochnikov | Latvia\, 2025 | 17 min\nIn Estonian with English subtitles \nInspired by the real-life case of Aleksandra Skochilenko\, Extremist follows a young Russian artist who makes an anti-war statement by swapping food labels with pacifist messages in a Moscow supermarket\, leading to her arrest and the threat of a 10-year prison sentence. The film reimagines the so-called crime that made Skochilenko famous\, an avatar for both the cruelty of Putin’s system\, and the bravery of the few who would risk their fates and freedom to oppose it. \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:FOLKTALES | NORDIC & BALTIC OSCAR CONTENDERS
DESCRIPTION:On January 10\, Scandinavia House presents a special screening and film talk of a Norwegian qualifier for Best Documentary Feature Film at the 98th Academy Awards: the tender\, deeply affecting documentary Folktales\, followed by a film talk by Oscar®-nominated filmmakers Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady! In this life-affirming masterpiece\, teenagers converge at a traditional folk high school in Arctic Norway where they must rely on only themselves\, one another\, and a loyal pack of sled dogs as they all grow in unexpected directions. \nIn Norse mythology\, the three “Norns” are powerful deities who weave the threads of fate and shape humans’ futures. Today\, Pasvik Folk High School in northern Norway aims to produce a similar life-changing effect on its students. Folktales tells the timely and heartwarming story of teenagers who choose to spend an unconventional “gap year” learning to dog sled and survive the Arctic wilderness\, in hopes of finding connection and meaning in the modern world. Guided by patient teachers and a yard full of heroic Alaskan huskies\, they discover their own potential and develop deep relationships with the land\, animals and humans around them. Through intimate verité storytelling and exhilarating cinematography\, Ewing and Grady examine humans on the cusp of adulthood\, finding themselves at the edge of the world. \nRegister \n

SUMMARY:NORDIC BOOK CLUB ONLINE | THE SISTERS
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 January 13\, 2026\, we’ll be discussing Jonas Hassen Khemiri’s addictively entertaining family saga The Sisters. \nMeet the Mikkola sisters: Ina\, Evelyn\, and Anastasia. Their mother is a Tunisian carpet seller\, their father a mysterious Swede who left them when they were young. Ina is tall\, serious\, a compulsive organizer. Evelyn is dreamy\, magnetic\, a smooth talker. And Anastasia is moody\, chaotic\, a shape-shifting presence\, quick to anger. \nIna meets her future husband when she’s dragged to a New Year’s rave by her sisters\, only to suffer the ultimate betrayal. Evelyn drifts through life before embarking on a wild career as an actress. And Anastasia runs off to Tunisia\, where she falls in love with a woman who\, years later\, will transform her life. \nFollowing the sisters from afar is Jonas\, the son of a Swedish mother and a Tunisian father. Over the course of three decades\, his life intersects with the sisters\, from a chance encounter in Tunis to the scene of a fighter jet crash in Stockholm. When Evelyn disappears on a trip to New York\, Jonas manages to track her down—and helps her to break the curse that has been looming over the Mikkolas for decades. In the process\, a shocking revelation changes everything about who they think they are. \nNarrated in six parts\, each spanning a period ranging from a year to a day to a single minute\, Jonas Hassen Khemiri’s The Sisters is a big\, vivid family story of the highest order—an tour de force that has been longlisted for prizes including the 2025 National Book Award for Fiction and the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction. \n\nThe Sisters is available in hardcover\, paperback\, e-book and digital audio. \nRegister

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT — SENTIMENTAL VALUE | NORDIC & BALTIC OSCAR CONTENDERS
DESCRIPTION:*This event is now sold out.* \nOn January 14\, Scandinavia House presents a special screening featuring Norway’s official entry for Best International Feature Film at the 98th Academy Awards: the poignant drama Sentimental Value\, followed by a filmmaker panel featuring director Joachim Trier! \nSentimental Value\nDir. Joachim Trier | Norway\, 2025 | 134 min\nIn Norwegian with English subtitles \n“The best film of the year” (Vogue) —Sisters Nora (Renate Reinsve) and Agnes (Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas) reunite with their estranged father\, the charismatic Gustav (Stellan Skarsgård\, in a remarkable performance)\, a once-renowned director who offers stage actress Nora a role in what he hopes will be his comeback film. When she declines\, Gustav casts an up-and-coming young Hollywood star (Elle Fanning) instead\, forcing the family to confront long-buried tensions as the striving outsider becomes entangled in their fraught dynamic. \nWith Sentimental Value\, Danish-Norwegian auteur Joachim Trier follows his critically acclaimed The Worst Person in the World (2021) with a magnetic comedy-drama about legacy\, art\, and the performances that bind—and divide—families. Trier’s insightful and captivating adult drama\, which won the Grand Prix at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival\, furthers the writer-director’s piercing exploration of the frayed ties that bind us to one another and to our creative selves. \n“A transcendent\, moving masterpiece” (IndieWire) \nRegister \n

SUMMARY:WATER-BASED PAINTING
DESCRIPTION:This series offers a gentle introduction to the tactile qualities of materials such as paper\, pastel\, paint\, graphite pencil\, and ink.

There are no expectations for finished pieces or specific outcomes —the class itself is the experience and the goal. Each session will close with a supportive group reflection\, where we’ll share and appreciate each other’s progress\, process\, and discoveries. \nIn this course\, students will explore and experiment with water-based colored paint and water using brushes on paper. \nThe series can be experienced as a complete progression or as individual\, standalone classes.
