SUMMARY:A LIGHT THAT NEVER GOES OUT | NEW NORDIC CINEMA
DESCRIPTION:“[One] of the most interesting films at Cannes… rooted in a place but allowed to grow outwards” (Philip Oltermann\, The Guardian) —On October 21\, see the charming comedy-drama A Light That Never Goes Out! Written and directed by Finnish screenwriter Lauri-Matti Parppei in his feature directorial debut\, and loaded with deadpan humor\, A Light That Never Goes Out is a charming and tender feel-good drama about the power of music and community. \nAfter a breakdown\, 29-year-old classical flute player Pauli returns from Helsinki to his small Finnish hometown to recuperate at his parents’ house. Unable to play his instrument\, he struggles with feelings of failure. Then Pauli runs into Iiris\, an old classmate who still lives in town and makes experimental music by herself. Iiris tries to persuade him that they should make music together\, as she is convinced that by joining forces\, they would be able to create something completely new and unique. Her chaotic energy fascinates Pauli\, who has been striving for perfection and avoided mistakes all his life. Soon\, little by little he starts finding new comfort and solace in their weird sonic experiments. But\, as old pressures resurface\, Pauli faces difficult choices about his future and the friendships that have given him new hope. \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:RUBEN HØGH | CONCERT
DESCRIPTION:Join us on October 8 for an evening with Danish pianist and former ASF Fellow Ruben Høgh! With a strong focus on sonic experimentation and commitment to artistic innovation\, Høgh moves freely between European classical traditions and the raw energy of New York’s Downtown scene. \n\n\nParticularly drawn to the resonating textures and sonic landscapes of post-rock and inspired by composers like Julia Wolfe\, John Adams\, Steve Reich\, Olivier Messiaen and Dmitri Shostakovich\, he explores new forms of pianism that both challenge and build on conventions and create immersive concert experiences where the distance between stage and audience dissolves. This includes the use of extended techniques\, prepared piano\, as well as electronic textures and software. \n\n\n\n\nPurchase tickets

SUMMARY:ON THE OTHER SIDE IS MARCH | NORDIC BOOK CLUB ONLINE
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 October 13 in coordination with West Nordic Film Days\, we’ll read On the Other Side is March by Sólrún Michelsen\, a poignant and darkly witty portrait of aging\, memory and multigenerational caretaking from the first female Faroese writer to ever appear in English. \nI’m a woman in my early sixties. Somewhere between late and never. No longer the career woman\, mother\, housewife\, and lover doing it all… Now I’m wife\, mother\, grandmother and my mother’s mother. But I still have to satisfy all the demands placed on me. \nSo begins Sólrún Michelsen’s tender and darkly witty exploration of what she considers to be the strange\, remaining leg of life’s journey. Her kids are grown and out of the house and she’s faced with a time that\, for years\, she always seemed to be looking toward—a time when she wasn’t needed by somebody or something. But now\, with her mother’s declining health\, she finds herself revisiting childhood scenes\, family hymns\, and folk songs—revealing a lifetime of love\, duty\, awe\, and regret. She tends to her mother amid the stark rhythms of Faroese life\, waiting for a new nursing home that never arrives\, and confronts the reality of being part of the “army of women” who inherit care. In her grief and private goodbye to her mother\, however\, is also a gorgeous meditation about life\, as translator Marita Thomsen says in her afterword\, “in its ragged mundane glory.” \nA lyrical portrait of caretaking and the invisible labor of motherhood\, On the Other Side Is March is a tribute to caretakers across generational lines\, as well as the the rich oral traditions of singing and storytelling that kept the Faroese language alive centuries before its standard written form. This is the first work of Michelsen’s—a best-selling author of novels\, short stories\, poetry\, and children’s literature—to be published in English. It has been translated by Marita Thomsen. \nOn the Other Side is March is available in paperback and ebook from Bookshop.org\, Amazon.com and other retailers. \nRegister

SUMMARY:HAMPUS ÖHMAN-FRÖLUND: MOTVALSEN
DESCRIPTION:Join us on October 15 for an unforgettable evening with Hampus Öhman-Frölund as he plays selections from his new solo record\, “Motvalsen”! \n“Motvalsen” (2026) is the first drums / percussion solo record from NYC-based Swedish drummer Hampus Öhman-Frölund. Blending acoustic percussion with electronics\, samples\, and instruments from Sweden\, the album explores his experience of leaving home\, building a life in New York in his mid-twenties\, and finding new ways to engage with his cultural roots in the diaspora. Inspired by the textures and spirit of Scandinavian folk music—without claiming a place within that tradition—Motvalsen presents a deeply personal electro-acoustic meditation on memory\, distance\, and transnational belonging.\n\nPurchase tickets

SUMMARY:TELL EVERYONE | NEW NORDIC CINEMA
DESCRIPTION:“A compelling and ultimately compassionate story”—On October 21\, see the striking period drama Tell Everyone! Director Alli Haapasalo and lead actress Marketta Tikkanen will be present for a Q&A following the screening. \nOn a remote island where troublesome women are sent to be forgotten\, an emotionally charged struggle for liberation unfolds in a dazzlingly beautiful and deeply moving historical drama. \n\nFollowing her acclaimed Girl Picture (2022)\, director Alli Haapasalo takes the female body’s built-in violence and imbues that bottled up fury into 19th-century Finland on a little island called Seili. The year is 1898\, and Amanda (Marketta Tikkanen) arrives at the institution on the island of Seili in the Finnish archipelago. She has been committed after living a wandering\, decadent life\, marked by episodes of “madness” once a month caused by severe menstrual pain. Amanda considers her stay on the island strictly temporary\, but as she begins to form bonds with the other women\, doubt takes root. Marketta Tikkanen shines in the lead role\, supported by Alma Pöysti\, Krista Kosonen and Aamu Milonoff\, who together create a richly layered gallery of female fates in a genuinely affecting drama. \n\nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:QUEEN BY BIRGITTA TROTZIG | NORDIC BOOK CLUB ONLINE
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 November 3\, 2026\, we’ll discuss visionary Swedish writer Birgitta Trotzig’s mythic\, modernist classic\, Queen\, a long-awaited rediscovery now in translation by Saskia Vogel from Archipelago Books. \nBirgitta Trotzig’s 1964 novella is the story of a girl named Judit who is stubborn and singular\, distant and unyielding. She has a love of lilies. She is called Queen. Her entire world exists within Bäck\, a village in the south of Sweden so named because a brook bends through it. At the age of nine\, Judit’s mother falls ill during childbirth and passes Judit the strong little body of her brother Viktor. A sharp gleam springs forth from Viktor’s pale-blue infant eyes\, and the two are bonded for life. Together with their wordless brother Albert (one who prefers the warm silence of animals)\, Viktor\, Albert\, and Judit form a precarious family. In dark and mystical waves of language\, Judit’s inner life is awakened to the reader. She has her secrets. The Queen prizes her alias like a precious gemstone; she dreams one day that the master gardener at Trolle Ljungby Castle will select her very own flower bulbs for planting; and she holds suspicions like hot stones to her heart. When Viktor decides to emigrate to the United States\, the ground beneath Judit’s feet forever shifts. \nThe English-language discovery of Birgitta Trotzig\, one of the greatest Swedish writers of all time\, is long overdue. Her dark\, spiritual writings construct a truth and vision all her own. Trotzig’s characters are ordinary and troubled\, their lives barren and merciless\, but an otherworldly light sweeps across them\, making them stand with spectacular clarity. \nQueen is available in paperback and ebook from Archipelago Books\, Bookshop.org and other retailers. \nRegister

SUMMARY:SIRI HUSTVEDT - DANCE AROUND THE SELF
DESCRIPTION:On November 21\, see the trenchant\, tender documentary Siri Hustvedt – Dance Around the Self! Siri Hustvedt will be present for a Q&A following the screening. \nYoung\, curious and full of drive\, Siri Hustvedt leaves the wide\, quiet landscapes of Minnesota and plunges into the pulsating life of New York City. In search of the protagonist for her first novel\, she embarks on a journey that not only shapes her as a writer but leads her to become one of the most compelling voices in contemporary American literature. The film opens a perspective that reaches far beyond Siri Hustvedt herself\, discovering women who courageously and independently realise their artistic visions. As Siri Hustvedt and her husband Paul Auster reflect on language\, identity and the power of words\, life intervenes: Paul Auster becomes seriously ill. In Siri Hustvedt – Dance Around the Self\, director Sabine Lidl portrays Siri Hustvedt’s distinctive way of living and thinking\, weaving her writing together with the major themes of life: love and farewell. \nPhotos: © Medea Film Factory / Dschoint Ventschr / Filip Zumbrunn \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:THE STRONGEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD | NORDIC BOOK CLUB ONLINE
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 8\, 2026\, we’ll discuss Icelandic author Steinunn G. Helgadóttir’s The Strongest Woman in the World\, in translation by ASF Translation Prizewinner Larissa Kyzer. \nSiblings Eiður and Gunnhildur grow up in a household balanced uneasily between emotional volatility and unspoken grief—a home where their parents are never happy at the same time. When tragedy fractures the family\, the siblings are separated\, their lives diverging in unexpected and quietly extraordinary ways. \nEiður turns to activism\, seeking order and justice in a world that rarely offers either. Traveling to Lesbos to lead a group of rebel activists aiding the refugee crisis\, he fears that he lacks the passion and empathy necessary to enact true social change. Gunnhildur\, who hides a physical strength most would find unimaginable\, becomes a mortuary cosmetologist\, renowned for her ability to lend peace and dignity to the dead. In her meticulous care for the bodies of others\, she finds a way to hold the world still\, if only briefly. \nThese two threads—Gunnhildur’s superhero-like strength and Eiður’s activism—come together at a jail\, where Gunnhildur attempts to prove that she really is the strongest woman in the world. \nThe Strongest Woman in the World is available from Open Letter\, Bookshop.org and other retailers. \nRegister \n

SUMMARY:AFTER THE NORTH POLE | NORDIC BOOK CLUB ONLINE
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 12\, 2027\, we’ll discuss After the North Pole by Erling Kagge\, translated from the Norwegian by Kari Dickson. \nFrom acclaimed Norwegian explorer\, philosopher\, and writer Erling Kagge comes the astounding story of his record-setting 58-day journey on skis to the North Pole\, laced with profound meditations on nature\, other daredevils and the history of our obsession with the Pole. \nThe North Pole is the ultimate Otherland in a world mapped and traversed. It is the center of our planet’s rotation. Its sub-zero temperatures and strange year of one sunset and one sunrise make it an eerie\, utterly disorienting place that challenges human endurance and understanding. Kagge and his friend Børge Ousland became the first people to ever reach the pole without any support from man or machine\, skiing from a drop-off point on the ice edge of Canada’s northernmost island. After the North Pole: A Story of Survival\, Mythmaking\, and Melting Ice recounts the expedition while probing its physical challenges and psychological motivations\, as well as the extensive history of the territory’s exploration—marked as it was by scandal\, murder\, shipwreck\, shifting ice and roaming polar bears—and its place in legend and art. \n“It’s impossible to read Erling Kagge and not fall in love with the North Pole. His enthusiasm is infectious\, and his adventures are epic.” — Elizabeth Kolbert\, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Sixth Extinction \nAfter the North Pole is available in hardback\, ebook and audiobook from HarperCollins and various other retailers. \nRegister
