SUMMARY:The Purity of Vengeance
DESCRIPTION:“Fast-paced and highly polished” (Variety) — on December 8\, see the fourth film in the gripping Department Q Danish crime series\, The Purity of Vengeance (dir. Christoffer Boe; Denmark\, 2018) in New Nordic Cinema at Scandinavia House! \nBased on Jussi Adler-Olsen’s international bestsellers\, the riveting Department Q series follows maverick detective Carl Mørck (Nikolaj Lie Kaas) who\, with his partner Assad (Fares Fares) and secretary Rose (Johanne Louise Schmidt)\, digs into shocking unsolved mysteries in cold cases. The Purity of Vengeance begins with a terrifying discovery made by construction workers in an old Copenhagen apartment: three mummified corpses sitting around a dinner table\, with one open seat\, behind a fake wall.

SUMMARY:Friluftsliv or Lost in the Mountains: Nature Literature from Norway
DESCRIPTION:Join us on November 7 for a special Norwegian literary evening with authors Torbjørn Ekelund & Are Kalvø! Norway is known for its dramatic and beautiful nature\, with fjords\, mountains and endless hiking trails. Norwegians love to spend time outside\, so called friluftsliv. In tonight’s event\, get to know two fantastic authors with different approaches to nature. This event takes place live at Scandinavia House and will also be streamed virtually. \nTorbjørn Ekelund is a writer\, historian and part-owner of the online magazine Harvest. His book In Praise of Paths (Greystone Books\, May 2020) takes readers on a fascinating journey from the first humans wandering across Europe\, after the last ice age\, up until present-day organized hiking trails. Woven together in narrative through philosophy\, biology\, literature\, archeology and mythology\, In Praise of Paths is about movement and residence\, migration and shortcuts; about the fascinating migratory routes of birds and animals\, and our inherent need to relocate; and also about what has been lost in an age where we all sit in offices\, and drive cars\, and navigate using GPS on our smartphones. \nCity-dweller and stand-up comedian Are Kalvø grew up right in the middle of a postcard in northwestern Norway\, surrounded by fjords and mountains that people from halfway across the globe travel to see. Yet he has never been much of an outdoorsman — once he moved to the city\, he never looked back. This was never a problem until recently\, when Kalvø began losing friends to the mountains. One day\, Kalvø realized that he did not have a single Facebook-friend who had not posted a single photo of themselves on a mountain! In fear of missing out\, he headed out to the mountains himself. His resulting adventures are compiled in the book The Hiking Book from Hell (Greystone Books\, May 2022)\, and will be the basis for his stand-up presentation today. \nTonight’s event will begin with a literary talk with Ekelund in conversation with a moderator. Next\, see a stand-up routine from Kalvø. After their presentations\, the writers will hold a Q&A\, followed by a book signing. \nRegistration is required for attendance at Scandinavia House; check back to this page for a registration link. \nThis program is co-presented with the Royal Norwegian Consulate General and NORLA (Norwegian Literature Abroad).

SUMMARY:The Pastor by Hanne Ørstavik
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 December 7\, we’ll be discussing The Pastor by award-winning Norwegian novelist Hanne Ørstavik\, who recently joined us for a virtual panel now streaming here. \nLiv\, an intense and reticent theologian\, is fascinated by words and their edges and echoes\, and researches how the language of the Bible was wielded against the indigenous Sami people during the 1800s. When she moves to a bitterly cold fishing village to to work as the church’s new pastor following the death of her dearest friend\, Kristiane\, she begins planning her sermons while studying the violent interplay of Norway’s Christian colonial past. \nBecoming acquainted with the villagers and their private tragedies\, excavating their past and her own\, Liv searches for meaning from scenes such as of Sami children gathering cloudberries and figs\, from the memory of the magical weaver woman from an Astrid Lindgren fairytale she read as a child\, or in how misstep and misunderstandings can lead to isolation and pain. \nWith each new experience and confrontation\, fresh questions about scripture and empathy and who she is arise; as she wonders how “language\, in all its plasticity\, became so stiff and unbending\,” she slowly bends it back toward her\, building her own vocabulary of healing.

In Swedish\, English\, French\, Italian\, and Japanese with English subtitles) \n“Haunting… a psychologically probing portrait”—New York Times\n“One of the few documentaries to dwell so gravely and persuasively on how sudden fame can ruin a young life\, bypassing any perks of stardom”—Vogue \nTickets to this event must be purchased in advance online at the link above; film screenings will take place in Victor Borge Hall.

SUMMARY:Music on Park Avenue with Per Tengstrand
DESCRIPTION:Music on Park Avenue is back! The popular series hosted by Scandinavia House and Per Tengstrand welcomes its audience back to Victor Borge Hall in the fall of 2021. In the second concert in the series\, Tengstrand will perform Beethoven’s “33 Variations over a Waltz by Diabelli.”  \nIn 1819\, the music publisher Anton Diabelli asked a large group of composers to write one variation each on a waltz. Beethoven submitted not one\, but 33\, and it is celebrated as perhaps the greatest set of piano variations next to Bach’s “Goldberg Variations.” With relentless imagination\, Beethoven turns this simple and banal theme into creations full of beauty\, drama and\, in fact\, mockery. \nDo not miss Per Tengstrand’s interpretation of one of the most important piano works in history! \n“The greatest of all piano works“—Alfred Brendel \nTickets to this event must be purchased in advance online at the link above; screenings will take place in Victor Borge Hall. Attendees are required to follow all Scandinavia House safety protocols\, including wearing masks during the program and observing social distancing rules in signage. Please read our full safety protocols here. \nMusic on Park Avenue will continue with performances on January 6\, February 17\, March 17\, and April 21\, 2022. \nThe Music on Park Avenue concert series is supported in part by a generous grant from The Barbro Osher Pro Suecia Foundation and in part by the Lynn Carter Fund of the ASF. \nAbout Per Tengstrand\nPer Tengstrand has firmly established himself as one of today’s most exciting pianists. He has been described by The Washington Post as “technically resplendent\, powerful\, intuitively secure\,” and by The New York Times as “a superb Swedish pianist” whose recital “was rewarding\, both for its unusual programming and for his eloquent\, technically polished performances.”Tengstrand is the subject of the acclaimed Swedish documentary The Soloist\, directed by Magnus Gertten and Stefan Berg (Sweden\, 2003)\, which was featured at the International Festival of Cinema and Technology in New York. \nIn 2005 he was decorated by King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden with the “Litteris et Artibus” Medal for outstanding service to the arts. During the pandemic\, Per started making music documentaries which were viewed and appreciated by people all over the world. As this line of work will continue\, the documentary Beethoven and the Freedom of the Will is planned to have its world premiere at Scandinavia House in 2022.

SUMMARY:Radiograph of a Family — Virtual Screening
DESCRIPTION:The Nordic & Baltic Oscar Contenders series at Scandinavia House returns this season with select in-house and virtual screenings of films chosen by the Nordic & Baltic countries to compete for this year’s Academy Awards. Screening virtually only from December 2 through December 5\, see the documentary Radiograph of a Family (dir. Firouzeh Khosrovani; Norway/Iran/Switzerland\, 2020)\, which has been submitted for Best Documentary. A virtual film Q&A will accompany the screenings; please check back here for details. \nA love story with two different beliefs and a family in the turmoil of Iran’s modern history\, director Firouzeh Khosravani’s Radiograph of a Family explores a personal history beginning with her mother’s marriage to her father in Tehran by photograph\, when he was then studying radiology in Switzerland. For her mother\, with her religious background\, living in Europe was a challenge: sin was everywhere. Her father came from a liberal and secular family and was a lover of culture\, fine arts\, classical music; her mother never understood how he could treasure a painting depicting nude bodies. Shortly after Firouzeh’s birth\, the family moved back from Switzerland back to Tehran\, after which the Revolution happened and changed everything upside down. Her mother found new reason and new identity\, an important space for herself: She became a religious activist\, school principal and did military training. Her father sat quietly in his favorite chair at home and listened to Bach. Throughout Firouzeh’s childhood\, she was forced to choose between her parents; each day\, enduring imposition from one side and acceptance from the other. (82 min. In French and Farsi with English subtitles) \n“Immersive and lyrical”—THR \nVirtual Screenings will take place over four days (Thursday — Sunday)\, with all films available for viewing on a virtual cinema screening platform throughout this period. To download viewing instructions and an FAQ\, please click here. \n \nThis film has been supported by the Consulate General of Sweden\, New York. \n \nABOUT THE DIRECTOR\nBorn in Tehran\, Firouzeh Khosrovani settled in Italy to pursue her artistic studies at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera.

SUMMARY:Tigers
DESCRIPTION:The Nordic & Baltic Oscar Contenders series at Scandinavia House returns this season with select in-house and virtual screenings of films chosen by the Nordic & Baltic countries to compete for the Oscar nomination for the Best International Feature Film. On December 11 at Scandinavia House\, see the film Tigers/Tigrar (dir. Ronnie Sandahl; Sweden/Italy/Denmark\, 2020)\, Sweden’s official nomination for the 94th Academy Awards. Following the screening\, Ronnie Sandahl will present a film Q&A.  \nA life-or-death rollercoaster ride through the modern-day football industry\, Tigers follows Martin\, one of the most promising football talents Sweden has ever seen. At 16\, his lifelong dream comes true when he is bought by one of Italy’s most prestigious clubs; yet that dream comes at a very high price in terms of sacrifice\, dedication\, pressure and — most of all — loneliness. Before long\, Martin begins to question whether this is actually the life he yearned for. With a unique perspective on the world of professional sports\, Ronnie Sandahl’s coming-of-age drama based on Martin Bengtsson’s autobiography In the Shadow of San Siro looks at a young man’s burning obsession in a world where everything\, and everyone\, has a price tag. \n“A compelling look at the dark side of sports glory”—THR \nTickets to this event must be purchased in advance online at the link above; film screenings will take place in Victor Borge Hall.

SUMMARY:Uncle
DESCRIPTION:On November 17\, see the award-winning film Uncle (Denmark\, 2019; dir. Frelle Petersen) in New Nordic Cinema at Scandinavia House! \nKris (Jette Søndergaard) lives on a derelict farm in a small Danish town that she runs with her disabled uncle\, with a quirky but loving relationship filled with daily routines and moments of comfortable silence. But when one day she miraculously saves the life of a newborn calf\, her dream of becoming a veterinarian — which she had put on hold to care for her uncle — is rekindled. In pursuit of her studies\, she develops a friendship with the chatty veterinarian Johannes\, and begins to branch out into the world beyond her small farm — even starting a relationship with a young man in town. But her overprotective role in her relationship with her uncle\, and her heavy workload in maintaining their farm\, continue to get in the way of her blossoming new life. \nA beautiful exploration of small-town Danish life that is both stunningly picturesque and quaintly endearing in its navigation of young love and complicated relationships\, Uncle has been acclaimed as “a film of revelatory detail (ScreenDaily) and a “quite exquisite slice of humanity” (Cineurope). Winner of the Tokyo Grand Prix Best Film\, 2020 Tokyo International Film Festival; Official Selection\, 2020 Tallinn Black Nights and Göteborg film festivals. Directed by Frelle Petersen (105 min. In Danish with English subtitles) \nFilm screenings will take place as a 3 PM matinee and 7 PM evening showing.

DESCRIPTION:On November 16\, join us for a virtual book talk on the new fiction anthology The Book of Reykjavik: A City in Short Fiction\, out November 11 from Comma Press! Authors Kristín Eiríksdóttir & Björn Halldórsson and translator Larissa Kyzer will discuss the novel and its translation\, as well as the themes explored in the book\, with moderator Halla Þórlaug Óskarsdóttir. \nIceland is a land of stories; from the epic sagas of its mythic past\, to its claim today of being home to more writers\, more published books and more avid readers\, per head\, than anywhere in the world. As its capital (and indeed only city)\, Reykjavik has long been an inspiration for these stories. But as this collection demonstrates\, this fishing-village-turned-metropolis at the farthest fringe of Europe has been both revered and reviled by Icelanders over the years. The tension between the city and the surrounding countryside\, its rural past and urban present\, weaves its way through The Book of Reykjavik\, forming an outline of a fragmented city marked by both contradiction and creativity. \nEdited by Becca Parkinson & Vera Juliusdottir and featuring stories by Friðgeir Einarsson\, Kristín Eiríksdóttir\, Þórarinn Eldjárn\, Einar Már Guðmundsson\, Björn Halldórsson\, Fríða Ísberg\, Auður Jónsdóttir\, Guðrún Eva Mínervudóttir\, Andri Snær Magnason & Ágúst Borgþór Sverrisson\, as well as an introduction by award-winning Icelandic author Sjón\, The Book of Reykjavik has been hailed as “a fine anthology of tales that illuminate the character of the city\, urban identity\, the complications of life\, dysfunctional relationships\, second beginnings\, looking for love and the impressions of the past” (NB Magazine). \nThis event will take place as a Zoom webinar; please ask questions in the chat or send them in advance to  info@amscan.org. Registration is required; please sign up at the link above. \nAbout the Speakers\nKristín Eiríksdóttir is an award-winning novelist\, short story writer\, poet\, and playwright from Reykjavík\, Iceland.
