SUMMARY:The Employees by Olga Ravn
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 January 10\, we’ll be discussing The Employees by Olga Ravn\, who discussed the novel with us in May 2021 with translator Martin Aitken. \nIn the near-distant future\, millions of kilometers from Earth\, the crew of the Six-Thousand Ship consists of those who were born\, and those who were made; those who will die\, and those who will not. When the ship takes on a number of strange objects from the planet New Discovery\, the crew is perplexed to find itself becoming deeply attached to them\, and human and humanoid employees alike start aching for the same things: warmth and intimacy; loved ones who have passed; shopping and child-rearing; our shared\, far-away Earth\, which now only persists in memory. \nGradually\, the crew members come to see their work in a new light\, and each employee is compelled to ask themselves whether they can carry on as before – and what it means to be truly living. \nStructured as a series of witness statements compiled by a workplace commission\, Ravn’s crackling prose is as chilling as it is moving\, as exhilarating as it is foreboding. Wracked by all kinds of longing\, The Employees probes into what it means to be human\, emotionally and ontologically\, while simultaneously delivering an overdue critique of a life governed by work and the logic of productivity. \n“A powerful and philosophical sci-fi experiment from a near-distant future\, exploring what it means to be human and alive.”– Børsen \nAbout the Author\nOlga Ravn (b. 1986) is a Danish novelist and poet. Her novel Celestine appeared to critical acclaim in 2015. She is also a literary critic and has written for Politiken and several other Danish publications. Alongside Johanne Lykke Holm\, she runs the feminist performance group and writing school Hekseskolen.

SUMMARY:Red Milk by Sjón
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 6\, we’ll be discussing Red Milk by Icelandic author Sjón\, out now in translation by Victoria Cribb. \n\n\nIn this timely and provocative novel about a mysterious Icelandic neo-Nazi and the enduring global allure of fascism\, in 1962 England in 1962 an Icelandic man is found dead on a train bound for Cheltenham Spa. In his possession\, policemen find a map on which a swastika has been drawn with a red pen. Who was he\, and where was he going? Through biography and mystery we learn the story of Gunnar Kampen\, founder of Iceland’s antisemitic nationalist party\, with ties to a burgeoning network of neo-Nazi groups across the globe. \n\n\n\n\nTold in a series of scenes and letters spanning Kampen’s lifetime — from his childhood in Reykjavík during the Second World War\, in a household strongly opposed to Hitler and his views\, through his education\, political radicalization\, and final clandestine mission to England — Red Milk urges readers to confront the international legacy of twentieth-century fascism and the often unknowable forces that drive some people to extremism. Based on one of the ringleaders of a little-known neo-Nazi group that operated in Reykjavík in the late 1950s and early 1960s\, this taut and potent novel explores what shapes a young man and the enduring\, disturbing allure of Nazi ideology.\n\n\n\n“A worthy companion to anti-fascist works by Hannah Arendt and Jean-Paul Sartre”—Publisher’s Weekly\n\n\nAbout the Author\nBorn in Reykjavík in 1962\, Sjón is the author of the novels The Blue Fox\, The Whispering Muse\, From the Mouth of the Whale\, Moonstone\, and CoDex 1962\, for which he won several awards\, including the Nordic Council’s Literature Prize and the Icelandic Literary Prize. He has also been short-listed for the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award and the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize\, and his work has been translated into 35 \nThis illuminating tale makes for worthy companion to anti-fascist works by Hannah Arendt and Jean-Paul Sartre.  languages. \nIn addition\, Sjón has written more than seven poetry collections\, several opera librettos\, and lyrics for various artists\, including Björk. He was nominated for an Oscar for his lyrics in Dancer in the Dark\, and he cowrote the script of the film The Northman with its director\, Robert Eggers. In 2017 he became the third writer – following Margaret Atwood and David Mitchell – to contribute to Future Library\, a public artwork based in Norway spanning one hundred years. He lives in Reykjavík\, Iceland.

SUMMARY:War Sailor
DESCRIPTION:The Nordic & Baltic Oscar Contenders series at Scandinavia House returns this season with screenings of films chosen by the Nordic & Baltic countries to compete for the Oscar nomination for the Best International Feature Film! On December 2\, see Norway’s official nomination for the 95th Academy Awards\, War Sailor (dir. Gunnar Vikene\, Norway\, 2022). Director Gunnar Vikene will be present for a film talk and Q&A after the event. \nIn 1939\, working-class Alfred Garnes (Kristoffer Joner) has recently become father to his third child when he and his childhood friend Sigbjørn (Pål Sverre Hagen) sign up to work on a merchant ship in the mid-Atlantic Ocean. When World War II breaks out shortly thereafter\, they find themselves unarmed civilians on the front lines of a war they never asked to join — clinging to survival in a spiral of violence and death\, where at any moment German submarines may attack their valuable vessels. Meanwhile\, as months stretch into years\, Alfred’s wife Cecilia struggles through the war alone in Bergen with their children\, not knowing whether she will see her husband again. When British aircraft attempts to bomb a German submarine bunker instead hit civilian homes in Nøstet — as well as the primary school in Laksevåg  — and news of civilian deaths reaches Alfred and Wally\, they soon wonder if they will have anything awaiting them at home. The war sailors have two goals: to survive\, and to return. \n“Psychologically complex…a war epic that doesn’t feel like a war movie”—Seventh Row \nThis screening will take place in-person at Scandinavia House in Victor Borge Hall. \n \nThis program is supported by the Consulate General of Norway in New York. \n \nAbout the Director\nGunnar Vikene directed his first feature film\, Falling Sky (Himmelfall) in 2002.

SUMMARY:Kalev and Sierra
DESCRIPTION:The Nordic & Baltic Oscar Contenders series at Scandinavia House returns this season with screenings of films chosen by the Nordic & Baltic countries to compete for the Oscar nomination for the Best International Feature Film! On November 30\, see a special screening with Estonia’s official nomination for the 95th Academy Awards\, Kalev (dir. Ove Musting\, Estonia\, 2022)\, as well as the Estonian short film Sierra\, submitted for this year’s Best Animated Short Film. Director Ove Musting will be present for a film talk and Q&A following the event. \nIn the summer of 1990\, the Soviet Union is teetering on the verge of collapse\, while the Baltic nations are struggling to take back their lost independence. As the USSR’s basketball championship is set to begin against this deeply divided backdrop\, the Estonian team Kalev faces a momentous decision — whether to participate amid a rising tide of public opposition\, or to bow out. As professional athletes\, the team makes the unpopular choice. And as the championship begins\, the turbulent moment intertwines with fierce battles on the court.  (94 min. In Estonian with English subtitles) \n“Director Musting’s thoughtful approach to the subtle balance between truth and fiction speaks highly of his dedication to the story of the Estonian beloved team”—Ion Cinema  \nIn the short film Sierra by director Sander Joon (Estonia\, 2022)\, a father and son are losing a footrace. In order to win\, the boy turns himself into a car tire! Loosely inspired by the director’s childhood\, Sierra pulls us into a surreal car-racing world. Sierra has won an Oscar-qualifying awards at Palm Springs Shortfest\, AFI FEST and San Francisco International Film Festival and is the first Estonian film acquired by the Criterion Channel.(16 min. In Estonia with English subtitles) \nThis screening will take place in-person at Scandinavia House in Victor Borge Hall. \n \n \nThis program is supported by the Consulate General of Estonia in New York. \n \nAbout the Director\nDirector Ove Musting was born in 1977 and was brought up in Sõmerpalu\, deep in Southern Estonia – part of the Soviet Union back then. His childhood was spent buried in books and music. He even founded a punk band which turned out to be quite successful! He was 14 when he saw Kalev\, one of Estonia’s biggest basketball teams to this day\, play that crucial game against the Russians\, and win. He remembers clearly and exactly how meaningful that victory was for him and for an entire Estonian nation on the brink of becoming a sovereign country. \nOve’s dad first introduced him to filmmaking\, as he made a number of amateur films himself. Those early cinematic experiences made a huge impression and put that young\, punk rock farm boy on the path to becoming a film director. He was soon accepted by the Tallinn University (formerly Tallinn Pedagogical University) film department\, beginning his studies in 1996. \nAfter graduation\, he made a number of short films that were successful on the festival circuit and collected a number of awards along the way. ‘30 Minutes of Silence’ (2003) had its world premiere at the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival\, while ‘Paradise of Old Men’ (2005) was awarded the best feature film prize of the Estonian Cultural Endowment in 2005\, competing against seven full features – quite extraordinary for a short film. ‘Dear Friend\, I Respect You’ was completed in 2011 and received the best domestic short film prize at PÖFF Shorts (part of Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival). \nLater on\, his creative gaze extended to directing music videos\, high profile TVC-s and social campaigns\, one of which were award-winning and even made it to the Cannes Lions’ finals. At the same time\, Ove began working in TV: from 2008 to 2019\, he acted as a director of the Estonian preliminary for the Eurovision Song Contest. He helped to create the show format and was awarded the title Director of the Year in 2017. During this time\, he discovered and enjoyed the multi-camera format and honed his storytelling talent: over 10 years\, he directed the performances of more than 150 different artists. Ove’s passion for multi-camera usage\, his fond childhood memories of Estonia’s basketball victory\, his vast TV-directing experience and intrinsic filmmaking talent all came together to form the feature film project ‘Kalev’\, entering development in 2016. Initially he joined as a director but early on found his voice as co-writer too\, adding his personal touch to the project depicting the hope seen in Estonian independence and the struggles of those times. \n‘Kalev’ is Ove’s debut feature\, which – after a prolonged production period burdened by pandemic restrictions was greeted by an 8-minute standing ovation on its domestic release.
