SUMMARY:YOUR ABSENCE IS DARKNESS | NORDIC BOOK CLUB ONLINE
DESCRIPTION:Read and discuss literature with our Nordic Book Club Online! On January 14\, we’ll be discussing award-winning Icelandic novelist Jón Kalman Stefánsson’s Your Absence Is Darkness\, a spellbinding saga about the inhabitants of a rural community on the Snæfellsnes peninsula\, out now in translation by Philip Roughton. \nA man comes to awareness in a cold church in the Icelandic countryside\, not knowing who he is\, why he’s there or how he arrived\, with a stranger staring mockingly from a few pews back. Startled by the man’s cryptic questions\, he leaves—and plunges into a history spanning centuries. A city girl is drawn to the fjords by the memory of a blue-eyed gaze\, and a generation earlier\, a farmer’s wife writes an essay about earthworms that changes the course of lives. A pastor who writes letters to dead poets falls in love with a faraway stranger\, and a rock musician\, plagued by cosmic loneliness\, discovers that his past has been a lie. Faced with the violence of fate and the effects of choices\,  each discovers the cost of following the magnetic needle of the heart. \nIncandescent and elemental\, hope-filled and humane\, Your Absence Is Darkness is a comedy about mortality\, music\, and the strange salve of time. \n“Comparisons do not do justice to the complexity of Stefánsson’s book\, nor the uniqueness of his prose\, rendered here in a tumblingly beautiful translation by Philip Roughton” (Daniel Mason\, New York Times). \nRegister

SUMMARY:NEW SWEDISH POETRY
DESCRIPTION:Join us on January 14 for a virtual book talk on Katarina Frostenson’s The Space of Time (Songs and Formulae)\, (Threadsuns Press\, October 2024) and Ann Jäderlund’s Lonespeech (Nightboat Books\, May 2024). Frostenson’s translator Brad Harmon and Jäderlund’s translator Johannes Göransson will be joined by moderator Robin Myers for readings and discussions.  \nWinner of the 2016 Nordic Council Literature Prize\, The Space of Time is an unsentimental and smoldering study of the ecological and utopic function of grief. Frostenson seems to speak to the universal orphan lost in the Open\, in the landscape\, in literature\, in bedwarmth\, and in lamentation.  \nIn Lonespeech\, Ann Jäderlund rewires the correspondence between writers Ingeborg Bachmann and Paul Celan into a series of stark\, runic poems about the fraught act of communication and its failures. Forsaking her reputation as a baroque poet\, Jäderlund uses simple words and phrases in favor of an almost childlike simplicity\, giving her poems\, on first glance\, the appearance of parables: mountains\, sunlight\, rivers\, aortas. Upon closer inspection\, the poems glitch\, bend\, and torque into something else\, enigmatic and forceful\, lending them\, as Jäderlund says\, the force of “clear velocity.” \nRegister

SUMMARY:ARMAND
DESCRIPTION:On January 9\, see a special screening of Armand (Norway\, 2024)\, Norway’s official selection for Best International Feature Film at the 97th Academy Awards! \nElisabeth (Renate Reinsve) arrives at a parent-teacher meeting called on short notice. Her six-year-old son Armand has been accused of something — but that “something” seems unclear. As the principal\, the school nurse\, and another pair of parents become involved\, it’s revealed that a boundary has been crossed between Armand and his best friend. And as they disagree on how to handle it\, the school begins to lose control. A powerful and thought-provoking drama about the complexities of alleged sexual harassment between children\, Armand has been acclaimed as a “vivid\, creepy\, and uncomfortably funny debut” (IndieWire). \n“Resonant and haunting — and should spark plenty of post-screening discussions” (Jonathan Romney\, Screen Daily) \n\nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:A WOMAN LOOKS OVER HER SHOULDER
DESCRIPTION:On January 9\, join us for a book talk with Icelandic author Brynja Hjálmsdóttir and ASF Translation Prizewinner Rachel Britton for a discussion on A Woman Looks Over Her Shoulder\, out now from Circumference Press! \nIn A Woman Looks Over Her Shoulder\, one woman lives in a glass ball that is being shaken by someone else. This book of poems\, however\, is always shaking itself up\, leaping between the extreme and the daily\, the gross and the delicious\, between being scared and being scary. These surreal\, visceral\, and somehow polite poems explore what it can be like to be a woman and to slither through and away from threat to find voice and form and power\, no matter how strange. The apocalyptic utopia we arrive at in this book—The Whore’s City—is a perfect model to move to in one’s head: feminist\, funny\, odd\, and a little disgusting\, all towards transformation. \n“A sly\, refreshing\, and vivid book” (Emily Hunt)\n“A strange and compelling book which relentlessly pokes at and pokes fun at the I/thou dynamic of Women and Men in our culture” (Matthew Rohrer) \nRegister

SUMMARY:NO OTHER LAND
DESCRIPTION:On January 6\, see No Other Land\, a Norwegian-produced\, vérité-style documentary by a Palestinian-Israeli collective of four directors. \nBasel Adra\, a Palestinian activist from Masafer Yatta\, has been fighting his community’s mass expulsion by Israeli occupation since childhood. Basel documents the gradual erasure of Masafer Yatta as soldiers destroy the homes of families — the largest single act of forced transfer carried out in the occupied West Bank. After he crosses paths with Yuval Abraham\, a young Israeli journalist\, the two spend half a decade fighting the expulsion. Their complex bond is haunted by the extreme inequality between them: Basel lives under a brutal military occupation\, and Yuval is unrestricted and free. Created during the darkest\, most terrifying times in the region\, No Other Land was filmed by Basel and Yuval alongside two fellow activists — Isareli Rachel Szor and Palestinian Hamdan Ballal. The film is an act of creative resistance to Apartheid and a search for a path towards equality and justice. (Norway & Palestine\, 2024). \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:LIFE AND DEATH OF A CHRISTMAS TREE
DESCRIPTION:Join us on December 13 for a screening of Life and Death of a Christmas Tree! Lithuanian documentary filmmaker Arturas Jevdokimovas will be present for a discussion on how he went behind the scenes to discover the billion-dollar business of a magical holiday tradition\, with producer Ringailė Leščinskienė discussion after the film screening which will be moderated by independent writer Elissaveta M. Brandon. \nIf you stop someone in any European town to tell them that their festive\, bushy Christmas tree originated in Georgia\, they will be surprised — the trees are often labeled in Danish. But in fact the seeds of the fir cones are harvested every autumn in Georgia. Only later are they sold to the Danish\, who grow the seedlings and then sell the trees across Europe. \nIn this social drama set between two communities\, Jevdokimovas explores the Christmas tree businesses in both countries\, observing their sharp differences in living conditions\, attitudes and mentality. Where the Danish Christmas trees growers belong to the middle class in wealthy Northern Europe\, the Georgians live in a remote mountainous poor part of Georgia\, exhausted by several wars and painful transfer from Soviet regime to democracy. In contrast to the relative safety of the Danish tree business\, Georgian cone pickers face daily danger — scaling up to 60 meters to reach the tops of Georgian firs. As we follow this journey of ultimate winter symbol from their Georgian seeds to our homes\, the film reflects on the meaning of this festive tradition\, and its human cost against a backdrop of consumerism.

SUMMARY:IF ONLY BY VIGDIS HJORTH
DESCRIPTION:Read and discuss literature with our Nordic Book Club Online! On December 10\, we’ll be discussing award-winning Norwegian author Vigdis Hjorth’s If Only\, a groundbreaking yet timeless early work now out in English translation by Charlotte Barslund. \nA relatively young woman\, aged thirty. She married in her early twenties\, had two children. It is winter. January and minus 14°C\, white\, frosty mist around the parked car\, around the spruces\, the mailbox on its post\, but higher up the sky is blue\, clear\, the sun has come back. She has written in her diary that she is waiting for the heartbreak that will turn her into her true self. She has an impending sense of doom or possibly her own death. \nSo opens Vigids Hjorth’s ground-breaking novel from 2001\, which melds the yearning\, doomed potency of Annie Ernaux’s A Simple Passion with the scale and force of Anna Karenina. Can passion be mistaken for love? When Ida meets Arnold\, also married\, at a conference\, she impulsively invites him to share her bed. She returns home\, already half-obsessed\, and the dissolution of her marriage and break-up of her family pass almost without her noticing. Arnold has a more relaxed attitude toward the affair. But neither his coolness nor the alarming talk she hears about him can dampen her desire. When she finally has Arnold for herself\, their mounting jealousies and insecurities metastasize\, resulting in violence and addiction. \nIn urgent prose\, with layers of candid and vivid detail\, Hjorth shows just how devastating love can be when it binds the wrong people. \nRegister

SUMMARY:THE LAST JOURNEY
DESCRIPTION:On December 7\, see The Last Journey (Sweden\, 2024)\, Sweden’s selection for Best International Feature at the 97th Academy Awards! Director Filip Hammar will be present for a film talk and Q&A following the screening. \nWhen Lars Hammar retired after 40 years as a French teacher in the small town of Köping\, he thought that he and his wife Tiina would enter a new phase of travels\, wine\, and experiences they’d never had time for. But as for many others\, retirement didn’t turn out how they imagined — and over the years Lars fell into a depression\, seemingly stuck at home in his Belgian leather armchair\, much to the despair of the energetic Tiina. \nIn a desperate attempt to help his father regain his zest for life\, filmmaker Filip Hammar took his dad on a surprise road trip to France\, retracing the journey they made every summer during Filip’s childhood. With the help of his best friend and fellow filmmaker Fredrik Wikingsson\, Filip aimed to invigorate his dad by reliving some of the best moments of his life. But over the course of their travels and film\, the metamorphosis Filip hoped for becomes another — a recognition of the inevitable\, and the process of aging. A film about life\, death\, friendship and a portrait of a humble man and his enduring legacy\, The Last Journey (Den sista resan) has been Sweden’s highest-grossing documentary and acclaimed as “life-affirming…humorous and heartbreaking” (Variety). \nPurchase Tickets \nSix-Film Package

SUMMARY:I TALK ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME | BOOK TALK
DESCRIPTION:Join us on December 7 for a book talk on Camara Lundestad Joof’s I Talk about It All the Time\, out now from University of Wisconsin Press! Translator Olivia Noble Gunn (Assistant Professor and Sverre Arestad Chair in Norwegian Studies\, UW Seattle) and moderator Monica L. Miller (Professor of Africana Studies and Chair of the Africana Studies Department at Barnard College) will be present in-person for a virtual talk with Joof\, to discuss the Norwegian performance artist and playwright’s biting\, lyrical memoir about her experiences as a queer Black Norwegian woman. This program is co-presented with the University of Washington – Scandinavian Department.  \nWhat does it mean to be Norwegian? Born in Bodø to Norwegian and Gambian parents\, Joof experiences microaggressions that belie the myth of a colorblind contemporary Scandinavia. She wrestles with the fickle palimpsest of memory\, demanding communion with her readers even as she recognizes her own exhaustion in the face of constantly being asked to educate others. \n“I regularly decide to quit talking to white people about racism\,” writes Joof. Such discussions often feel unproductive\, the occasional spark of hope coming at enormous personal cost. But not talking about it is impossible\, a betrayal of self. The book is a self-examination as well as societal indictment. It is an open challenge to readers\, to hear her as she talks about it\, all the time. \nThe speakers will discuss the story behind the writing of the memoir\, and how Joof developed its themes in her recent playscripts for Norway’s National Theater. \n“[Joof’s] collection of fragmented anecdotes is radical\, candid\, and unapologetic\, documenting with introspection the experience of being Black in a white society in which macro- and microaggressions are ubiquitous. . . . Sharp\, complex\, and lingering\, the memoir I Talk about It All the Time places its masterful compilation of devastating truths in the context of Scandinavian racism” (Foreword Reviews). \n“This gemlike book relentlessly dramatizes the particularities of Norwegian racism. The power of Joof’s observations increases in proportion to their understated precision. Her gentle voice is wholly deceptive. She slices through the delusions\, denials\, and defensiveness that distinguish the unthinkable racism of Scandinavian society” (Paul Gilroy\, English sociologist and cultural studies scholar). \nThanks to University of Washington Press & NORLA. \nRegister

SUMMARY:ARMAND
DESCRIPTION:On December 5\, see a special screening of Armand (Norway\, 2024)\, Norway’s official selection for Best International Feature at the 97th Academy Awards! \nElisabeth (Renate Reinsve) arrives at a parent-teacher meeting called on short notice. Her six-year-old son Armand has been accused of something — but that “something” seems unclear. As the principal\, the school nurse\, and another pair of parents become involved\, it’s revealed that a boundary has been crossed between Armand and his best friend. And as they disagree on how to handle it\, the school begins to lose control. A powerful and thought-provoking drama about the complexities of alleged sexual harassment between children\, Armand has been acclaimed as a “vivid\, creepy\, and uncomfortably funny debut” (IndieWire). \n“Resonant and haunting — and should spark plenty of post-screening discussions” (Jonathan Romney\, Screen Daily) \n\n\nPurchase Tickets

Director Magnus von Horn will be present for a film talk and Q&A after the screening. \nKaroline\, a young seamstress\, finds herself abandoned and pregnant while striving to climb out of poverty in post-WWI Copenhagen. With her husband missing and presumed dead in the war\, she’s unable to pay rent and subsequently evicted. Destitute and soon pregnant to another man\, she falls under the spell of a charismatic candy-store owner\, Dagmar Overbye\, who promises Karoline a home\, job\, and solution to her problems. But the job itself comes at a terrible cost… and soon brings her face to face with a nightmarish reality. Inspired by one of Denmark’s most infamous serial killer cases\, The Girl with the Needle (Pigen med nålen) is at once chilling and timely — offering an unvarnished look at the lengths a woman will go to in order to survive a coldly patriarchal and unforgiving society. \n“Builds to a devastating climax\, taut as piano wire” (Leslie Felperin\, The Hollywood Reporter) \n“Invested with a supremely eerie folkloric edge – a bleak historical chapter made timeless” (Robbie Collin\, The Telegraph) \nThis screening is presented in this year’s Nordic & Baltic Oscar Contenders series. See all films here.  \nPurchase Tickets \nSix-Film Package
