SUMMARY:Pilgrims
DESCRIPTION:The Fifth Annual New York Baltic Film Festival (NYBFF) presented by Scandinavia House: The Nordic Center in America returns in 2022 as a hybrid festival with both in-person and virtual screenings on November 2-13! From November 2 through 6\, in-person screenings and events will take place at Scandinavia House in New York\, presented in accordance with new COVID-19 safety guidance and protocols. Following the success of last year’s festival\, the online version will once again be available to viewers all across the U.S. via the Elevent streaming platform November 4-13. \nOn November 4\, see Pilgrims (Piligrimai\, dir. Laurynas Bareiša\, Lithuania\, 2021\, Narrative). Paulius (Giedrius Kiela) looks up Indrė (Gabija Bargailaitė) for an unusual request: to drive him back to the small town where Matas — his brother and her boyfriend — died. Unsure what to do with his pent-up emotions\, Paulius hopes that this trip will bring about a change\, in whatever form it may come. Though they haven’t spoken in a while\, Indrė agrees\, particularly as an injury has left Paulius incapable of driving. But as the two walk through Matas’ final days\, retracing his steps and meeting the people he saw\, it is unclear whether the journey will make them feel better or worse.\n\nA beautiful\, tender meditation on suffering that links personal struggles with communal ones\, Pilgrims has renewed urgency as we consider buried pains that have never come to light\, and historical suffering that can suddenly feel fresh. Never overwhelming and with a deceptively simple approach\, director Laurynas Bareiša confronts us to consider the nature of violence and closure.  \nPilgrims has been put forward as Lithuania’s candidate for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film. \nTickets to this event must be purchased in advance online at the link above; film screenings will take place in Victor Borge Hall. \nVirtual screenings of this film will take place from November 4-13. To read more and purchase virtual passes\, please click here. \n \nAbout the Director\nLaurynas Bareiša was born in Kaunas. He holds a bachelor’s degree in both applied mathematics from Vilnius University and in cinematography from the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theater. In 2016 he completed his studies for a master’s degree in film directing. His first short film Dembava (2014) premiered at Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival followed by The Camel (2016)\, By The Pool (2017) and Caucasus (2018)\, which premiered in Venice and Locarno film festivals.  \nHis short film Dummy (2020) premiered at the Berlin Film Festival. Pilgrims is his feature directorial debut. \nAbout the NYBFF\nEstablished in 2018\, the New York Baltic Film Festival is presented and organized by Scandinavia House in collaboration with the Consulate General of Estonia\, Consulate General of Lithuania\, and Daris Delins\, former Honorary Consul for Latvia in New York and founder of the festival. \nFinancial support for the festival comes from the Estonian Film Institute\, National Film Center of Latvia\, Lithuanian Film Center\, and the Edhard Corporation with additional sponsorship by the Estonian American National Council\, Lithuanian Culture Institute\, Lithuanian Foundation\, Consulate General of Estonia in New York\, Embassy of Latvia in Washington D.C.\, Permanent Mission of Latvia to the U.N. in New York\, Consulate General of Lithuania in New York\, American Latvian Association\, Investment and Development Agency of Latvia\, the PBLA Culture Fund\, and Sondra Litvaitytė. \nORGANIZERS & SPONSORS

SUMMARY:My Love Affair with Marriage
DESCRIPTION:The Fifth Annual New York Baltic Film Festival (NYBFF) presented by Scandinavia House: The Nordic Center in America returns in 2022 as a hybrid festival with both in-person and virtual screenings on November 2-13! From November 2 through 6\, in-person screenings and events will take place at Scandinavia House in New York\, presented in accordance with new COVID-19 safety guidance and protocols. Following the success of last year’s festival\, the online version will once again be available to viewers all across the U.S. via the Elevent streaming platform November 4-13. \nOn November 3\, see My Love Affair with Marriage (Mans laulību projekts\, dir. Signe Baumane\, Latvia/USA/Luxembourg\, 2022\, Narrative). My Love Affair with Marriage tells the story of Zelda (voiced by Dagmara Dominczyk) and her Biology (voiced by Michele Pawk). From an early age\, songs and fairytales convinced Zelma that Love with a capital “L” would solve all her problems. The rules for how to behave and dress in order to achieve happiness — i.e.\, to attract the attention of the opposite sex — are clear\, but the other girls in her class can play the part much better. There is\, however\, always a dissatisfied voice within Zelma questioning what she is told: quiet at first\, the voice grows ever louder\, and the more she tries to conform\, the more her body resists. Although she goes through several relationships and travels to different countries\, always accompanied by a singing Greek chorus\, she can never outrun her biology or her heritage. \nExecutive produced by Matthew Modine (who also provides the voice of Zelma’s second husband\, Bo)\, My Love Affair with Marriage is an unusual\,  dryly humorous animated\, coming-of-age story for adults of all ages. \nThis film will only be offered as an in-person screening. Tickets to this event must be purchased in advance online at the link above; film screenings will take place in Victor Borge Hall. \n \nAbout the Director\nSigne Baumane is a Latvian-born\, Brooklyn-based  filmmaker\, artist\, writer\, and animator.

SUMMARY:Homo Sovieticus
DESCRIPTION:The Fifth Annual New York Baltic Film Festival (NYBFF) presented by Scandinavia House: The Nordic Center in America returns in 2022 as a hybrid festival with both in-person and virtual screenings on November 2-13! From November 2 through 6\, in-person screenings and events will take place at Scandinavia House in New York\, presented in accordance with new COVID-19 safety guidance and protocols. Following the success of last year’s festival\, the online version will once again be available to viewers all across the U.S. via the Elevent streaming platform November 4-13. \nOn November 3\, see Homo Sovieticus (dir. Ivo Briedis\, Latvia/Lithuania/Czechia\, 2021\, Documentary). Three decades after the collapse of the Soviet Union\, the symbols and strong-man rhetoric of totalitarianism have now come crashing back into global politics. Could this rise be subconsciously aided by remnants of servility that persisted in peoples’ minds even as the Soviet Union crumbled? Homo Sovieticus takes its name from a term that was used pejoratively to describe the average conformist person in the Soviet Union and other countries of the former Eastern Bloc. \nThe film’s director Ivo Briedis and screenwriter\, journalist Rita Ruduša — both born in the USSR — take a highly personal journey to explore the phenomenon of “Homo Sovieticus\,” investigating whether they can define this mindset within themselves.  \nMeeting with their contemporaries in various Eastern European countries\, they also explore whether people who possess the totalitarian mindset belong to a specific geographical space: After all\, the Ninth of May Victory Day demonstrations to commemorate the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany in 1945 are held annually as far and wide as Berlin\, Australia\, and even New York. \nTickets to this event must be purchased in advance online at the link above; film screenings will take place in Victor Borge Hall. \nVirtual screenings of this film will take place from November 4-13. To read more and purchase virtual passes\, please click here. \n \nAbout the Director\nIvo Briedis is a professional cinema and theater script writer and director. His film The Film (2012) was awarded the best non-feature length film in Latvia. He has written and co – written the scripts for two TV series\, The Red Forest (2019) and the drama series Emily. Queen of Press (2021). In 2021\, his documentary Homo Sovieticus premiered at the One World International Human Rights Documentary FF in Prague. \nAbout the NYBFF\nEstablished in 2018\, the New York Baltic Film Festival is presented and organized by Scandinavia House in collaboration with the Consulate General of Estonia\, Consulate General of Lithuania\, and Daris Delins\, former Honorary Consul for Latvia in New York and founder of the festival. \nFinancial support for the festival comes from the Estonian Film Institute\, National Film Center of Latvia\, Lithuanian Film Center\, and the Edhard Corporation with additional sponsorship by the Estonian American National Council\, Lithuanian Culture Institute\, Lithuanian Foundation\, Consulate General of Estonia in New York\, Embassy of Latvia in Washington D.C.\, Permanent Mission of Latvia to the U.N. in New York\, Consulate General of Lithuania in New York\, American Latvian Association\, Investment and Development Agency of Latvia\, the PBLA Culture Fund\, and Sondra Litvaitytė. \nOrganizers & Sponsors

DESCRIPTION:The Fifth Annual New York Baltic Film Festival (NYBFF) presented by Scandinavia House: The Nordic Center in America returns in 2022 as a hybrid festival with both in-person and virtual screenings on November 2-13! From November 2 through 6\, in-person screenings and events will take place at Scandinavia House in New York\, presented in accordance with new COVID-19 safety guidance and protocols. Following the success of last year’s festival\, the online version will once again be available to viewers all across the U.S. via the Elevent streaming platform November 4-13. \nIn our Opening Night Celebration at Scandinavia House open to VIP pass holders and invited guests only\, see My Love Affair with Marriage (Mans laulību projekts\, dir. Signe Baumane\, Latvia/USA/Luxembourg\, 2022\, Narrative). My Love Affair with Marriage tells the story of Zelda (voiced by Dagmara Dominczyk) and her Biology (voiced by Michele Pawk). From an early age\, songs and fairytales convinced Zelma that Love with a capital “L” would solve all her problems. The rules for how to behave and dress in order to achieve happiness — i.e.\, to attract the attention of the opposite sex — are clear\, but the other girls in her class can play the part much better. There is\, however\, always a dissatisfied voice within Zelma questioning what she is told: quiet at first\, the voice grows ever louder\, and the more she tries to conform\, the more her body resists. \nTonight’s event is only open to VIP pass holders and invited guests; the film will later screen in-person on November 3. Learn more and get tickets here.  \n \nAbout the Director\nSigne Baumane is a Latvian-born\, Brooklyn-based  filmmaker\, artist\, writer\, and animator. She has made 17 award-winning animated shorts but is best known for her first animated feature Rocks in my Pockets\, which premiered at Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in 2014. Baumane’s new animated feature My Love Affair With Marriage fuses animation with music\, theater\, science\, photography\, three-dimensional sets and traditional hand-drawn animation. Baumane is a Guggenheim Fellow and a Fellow in Film for New York Foundation for the Arts. She has a degree in Philosophy from Moscow State University. \nAbout the NYBFF\nEstablished in 2018\, the New York Baltic Film Festival is presented and organized by Scandinavia House in collaboration with the Consulate General of Estonia\, Consulate General of Lithuania\, and Daris Delins\, former Honorary Consul for Latvia in New York and founder of the festival.

SUMMARY:Royal Copenhagen and Bing & Grøndahl Ceramics — Through the Eyes of a Collector
DESCRIPTION:Founded in 1775\, Royal Copenhagen remains one the oldest porcelain manufacturers still in operation today. Throughout its long history\, the factory has experienced numerous highs from the major World’s Fairs and lows from multiple wars and has weathered more than 130 years of competition from the Bing & Grøndahl Porcelain Factory. After 1882\, the two factories were located less than a mile apart\, with their flagship stores remaining next-door neighbors until their eventual merger in 1987. \nIn today’s lecture\, Dr. Elliot Todd\, a second-generation collector of Royal Copenhagen and Bing & Grøndahl porcelain\, stoneware and faience\, will review the history and wide array of works produced by both firms from their inception to their eventual merger\, along with their many technical and artistic successes. \nTopics covered will include the time-honored blue mussel pattern along with other 18th-century pieces; production during Denmark’s 19th-century “Golden Age”; unique and production underglaze works from the Art Nouveau period\, which revolutionized porcelain production throughout Europe; crystalline\, craquelé\, overglaze\, and contemporary porcelain; as well as stoneware and art faience. \nThis program will take place in-person at Scandinavia House. RSVP is required; please register at the link above. \nAbout Elliot Todd\nDr. Elliot Todd‘s father Frederick (1920-2001) purchased his first piece of Danish porcelain in 1947 — a Royal Copenhagen figurine\, chosen as a wedding gift for a friend. Born in 1957 into a home filled with Danish porcelain\, Elliot soon became fascinated with his father’s collection\, and spent many hours perusing the numerous books and magazines that he had acquired over the years\, most of which were in Danish. His father would often share stories about where he found this or that piece as well as the proverbial “one that got away.” \nHis father’s passion eventually became contagious\, and Elliot now has actively sought pieces over the last 40 years to further expand and round out this two-generation collection of porcelain\, stoneware\, and faience\, all of which has been exhaustively researched and documented though the factory’s archives in Denmark. Professionally\, Elliot recently retired as Professor Emeritus from a leading American university where he was an internationally recognized researcher and educator.

SUMMARY:Erna at War
DESCRIPTION:“A compelling story of courage and maternal love” (Cineuropa) — See the moving Danish WWI drama Erna at War (dir. Henrik Ruben Genz\, Denmark/Estonia/Belgium\, 2020) at Scandinavia House! \nIn 1918\, as World War I rages on and able-bodied Southern Jutlandic men under Prussian rule are conscripted into the German army\, Erna Jensen (Trine Dyrholm) tends to her quiet life and her developmentally disabled son Kalle in the village of Bramstrup. But when Kalle is summoned for military service\, Erna will do everything she can in order to protect her boy — dressing in a German uniform to sneak her way into the barracks\, where she comes under the protection of an interested field sergeant. Soon\, however\, Erna and her regiment are sent off in stock cars for the trenches\, where it isn’t only the enemy Erna must face\, but her encounters with fellow soldiers. With Anton\, the blacksmith from Jels (Anders W. Berthelsen)\, Erna is challenged on several fronts: as a self-sacrificing mother\, as a soldier on an equal footing\, and as a woman for good or ill. Based on the critically acclaimed novel by Erling Jepsen\, Erna at War tells an unusual and fateful tale from a dramatic time in Danish history\, of South Jutland patriotism\, and of an indomitable woman’s motherly love and determined drive. (100 min. In Danish & German with English subtitles) \n \nSpecial thanks to the Danish Film Institute. \nAbout the Director\nDirector Henrik Ruben Genz\, born in 1959\, originally comes from Gram in Southern Jutland.

SUMMARY:The Swedish Theory of Love
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a book talk with Henrik Berggren and Lars Trägårdh on their new publication The Swedish Theory of Love\, out in August 22 from University of Washington Press! Berggren and Trägårdh will discuss their exploration on how socialist collectivism and individuality co-exist in the Nordic nation\, a bestseller in Sweden that has just been released in English translation by Stephen Donovan. \nIn 2020 Sweden’s response to COVID-19 drew renewed attention to the Nordic nation in a way that put the finger on a seeming paradox. Long celebrated for its commitment to social solidarity\, Sweden suddenly emerged as the last country in the West to resist lockdown while defending individual rights and responsibilities. To explain these contradictions\, Henrik Berggren and Lars Trägårdh argue that the long-standing view of Sweden’s welfare state as the result of socialist collectivism is flawed. While social values have been and remain strong\, they have co-existed with a radical form of individualism. The English edition of the Swedish bestseller Är svensken människa?\, The Swedish Theory of Love examines a political culture that stresses individual autonomy on the one hand and trust in the state on the other. \nDelving into Swedish philosophy\, cultural studies\, sociology\, literary criticism\, and political science\, the book moves beyond the perspective of rational social engineering to uncover the moral logic behind Sweden’s welfare state: the notion that human relationships based on dependency and subordination lead to inauthenticity and that equality and autonomy are preconditions for genuine love and affection. \n“With a remarkably wide range of sources and richness of argumentation\, The Swedish Theory of Love explains the success of “the Swedish model” and its apparent paradox: that Swedes value individualism extremely highly but also exhibit a high degree of dependency on the state” (Lynn Wilkinson\, University of Texas at Austin) \nThis program will take place in-person at Scandinavia House; RSVP required. \nAbout the Authors\nHenrik Berggren is a historian\, journalist and biographer\, and has written extensively on Swedish political culture. In 2010\, he published a biography of Olof Palme that has been translated into six languages\, and his first novel was published in 2014. His biography Dag Hammarskjöld – Markings of His Life was published in 2016 by Bokförlaget Max Ström and is available in Swedish and English. Berggren obtained his MA in 1986 at the University of California\, Berkeley in Modern European History\, and completed his Ph.D. at the University of Stockholm 1995 in History. He served as Guest Professor at JWG-university\, Frankfurt-am-Main in 1997\, and his career in journalism involves several senior positions at Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter. \nLars Trägårdh is a historian who has mostly lived in the US since 1970\, while maintaining his personal and professional ties to Sweden. After many years as entrepreneur and businessman\, he returned to academic studies in 1986. He received his Ph.D. in history from UC Berkeley in 1993 after living and carrying out research for several years in both Germany and Sweden. He then took up at position teaching Modern European history at Barnard College\, Columbia University\, where he remained for ten years. During his years in the U.S.\, he also served as a guest professor at the University of Linköping\, teaching graduate courses\, and he also conducted a research project at Södertörn University College\, which resulted in the celebrated book – Är svensken människa? Gemenskap och oberoende i det moderna Sverige (2006\, pocket 2009\, revised and extended edition 2015\, German translation 2016) – co-written with Henrik Berggren. In 2010 he returned to Sweden where he now serves as professor oh history and civil society studies at Ersta Sköndal Bräcke University College.
