SUMMARY:River Kings: A New History of the Vikings Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:Join us February 3 at 7 PM ET for an in-person literary talk with bioarchaeologist Dr. Cat Jarmanon to celebrate the release of her new book River Kings: A New History of the Vikings from Scandinavia to the Silk Roads out on February 1\, 2022 from Pegasus Books! During this literary talk\, learn about an epic story from the Viking Age that traces the historical path of an ancient piece of jewelry—found in a Viking grave in England—to its likely origin thousands of miles east in India. This event takes place live at Scandinavia House and will also be streamed virtually. \nAcclaimed bioarchaeologist Dr. Jarman uses cutting-edge forensic techniques to investigate the history of the Vikings who landed on British soil over 1\,000 years ago. By examining ancient Viking teeth and bones with radiocarbon dating\, she can ascertain childhood diet as well as birthdate and death date\, down to a range of a few years. In 2017\, a particular carnelian bead came into her possession. River Kings follows Dr. Jarman as she traces the path of this ancient piece of jewelry back to 8th-century India. Along the way\, she discovers that the Viking route to England was far more varied than we previously thought; with them came people from the Middle East\, not just from Scandinavia. The reason for this unexpected interaction between the East and West may well have been a slave trade running through the Silk Road\, all the way to Britain. \nA riveting history of the Vikings and the modern methods we use to understand them\, River Kings is a major reassessment of the fierce\, often-mythologized voyagers of the North—and of the global medieval world as we know it. \n“A masterly history . . . I was held captive. River Kings is like a classical symphony\, perfectly composed and exquisitely performed. Tiny trills of detail give way to pounding drums of drama.” —The Times (London) \n“Will cast a spell on any reader who enjoys their history well-written and clearly argued. Replete with witches\, human sacrifice\, Greek fire and funeral orgies. One of the most thrilling works ofarchaeological detective work I have ever read.” — William Dalrymple\, The Financial Times \nThis program will also be live-streamed from Scandinavia House; check back for details and a link closer to the date. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR\nCat Jarman\, PhD\, is a bioarchaeologist and field archaeologist specializing in the Viking Age and Viking women. She uses forensic techniques like isotope analysis\, carbon dating\, and DNA analysis on human remains to untangle the experiences of past people from broader historical narratives. Dr. Jarman has contributed to numerous television documentaries as both an on-screen expert and historical consultant\, including programs for the BBC\, History Channel\, and Discovery\, among others. She lives in Britain.

SUMMARY:The Familiar & The Absurd — Literature from Copenhagen
DESCRIPTION:Join us on January 22 at 2 PM ET for a Virtual Danish Literary Panel with Copenhagen-based authors Ida Marie Hede\, Ursula Scavenius\, & Steven Zultanski moderated by editor and writer Tom Conaghan! The authors will discuss their newly translated books each exploring themes of the body and intimacy from unique sci-fi perspectives. \nAdorable by Ida Marie Hede (translated from Danish by Sherilyn Nicolette Hellberg)  is shimmering journey into the absurd phenomenality of family life – and the human microbiome — told in four parts\, in Copenhagen and London. The love between B and Q is tender but worn; when their daughter Æ is born\, the everyday lights up in a new way. In its second part\, the dead are animated in B’s brain. When B’s father dies\, the news is delivered to her by phone and an essayistic\, collagist meditation on death and transmission ensues. And then\, it’s finally Friday. B and Q descend below the living room floor and wander through a cracked and skittish underworld. In Ida Marie Hede’s porous world\, which is our world too\, grime\, bacteria\, and even death are intimately bound up with health and renewal. Fusing the commonplace and the profound\, the material and the spiritual\, the elegiac and the conceptual\, Adorable powerfully insists that it is impossible to tell where death and life begin or end. \nThe Dolls by Urusula Scavenius (translated from Danish by Jennifer Russell) is a collection of four stories from a world both fantastically strange and gruellingly familiar where isolation\, ruin\, prejudice\, and misinformation soar in an irresistible\, susurrant fugue of displaced families yearning to belong. The characters are plagued by unexplained illnesses and oblique\, human-made disasters and environmental losses: a big sister descends into the family basement; another sister refuses her younger brother; a third sister with memory loss is on the run and offered shelter by Notpla\, a man both an ally and an enemy\, and a fourth set of siblings travel to Hungary with their late mother in a coffin.  \nRelief by Steven Zultanski is a book of 11 poems that revolve around familiar experiences of discontinuous time: illness\, recovery\, habit\, sleep\, talk\, forgetfulness. Most of the texts are built from a number of moving parts that tend to lurch from one to another: transcribed speech\, malformed poetry\, and sub-allegorical sci-fi narratives. Relief treats health and sickness as inherently shared conditions\, both interpersonal and impersonal. Private anxieties are inseparable from communal joys. Care is messed up\, disjointed. Mundane conversations are occasions for rest and contentment\, or not. Grotesque fantasies are also occasions for rest and contentment\, or not. Sweet\, intimate\, and a little gross\, Relief is an intricately detailed and formally uneven affirmation of daily life. It also touches on: body horror\, vernacular knowledge of complex systems\, juvenile humor\, intergenerational psychic structures\, banal forms of time travel\, the ceaseless circulation of money\, bad jobs\, alternate dimensions\, nostalgia\, personal and social grooming\, and the pleasures of self-pity. \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. This conversation will be recorded and available later to stream on our Virtual Programming page and on our YouTube channel. \nABOUT THE PANELISTS\nIda Marie Hede is the author of seven books and numerous plays. She holds an MA in Art History from the University of Copenhagen and Goldsmiths College and graduated from the School of Creative Writing in Copenhagen in 2008.

Valdimar Jóhannsson\, Iceland\, 2021) \nChildless couple Maria (Noomi Rapace) and Ingvar (Hilmir Snær Guðnason) live together on a remote farm in Iceland with their herd of sheep\, where their life is one of routine and calm. One day they make an alarming discovery in their sheep barn — a newborn lamb\, whom they decide to raise as their own. But sinister forces are determined to return the creature to the wilderness that birthed her\, and they soon begin to face the consequences of defying the will of nature. A dark and atmospheric folktale\, this striking debut feature from director Valdimar Jóhannsson has been hailed as “grippingly assured” (RogerEbert.com) and “a cult movie in the making” (Rolling Stone). (106 min. In Icelandic with English subtitles) “An ominous warning about the danger of seeking happiness through delusion”—NYTimes\nWATCH TRAILER \nOn The Water /Vee peal (dir. Peeter Simm\, Estonia\, 2021) \nBased a novel by Olavi Ruitlane\, On the Water focuses on the life of preadolescent boy Andres\, a gentle soul growing up in the care of his grandparents in small-town Soviet Estonia. He has no friends his own age\, and his knowledge and friendships are limited to a few men living in his backyard – a former prisoner and hapless fishermen. His only escape is taking a fishing rod out onto a local lake where\, as a skilled angler\, he is at his happiest. A coming-of-age drama that balances comedy and adventure with more brutal realities\, On The Water has been acclaimed as “a pleasant feel-good dreamed\, characterized by a whimsical sense of humor and a charismatic young lead” (Cineuropa). (106 min. In Estonian with English subtitles) \nFILMS—SPECIAL SCREENINGS\nThe Worst Person in the World (dir. Joachim Trier; Norway\, 2021) \nThe third in director Joachim Trier’s Oslo Trilogy\, this dark romantic dramedy introduces Julie (Renate Reinsve) on the cusp of her 30th birthday — struggling with commitment issues\, about to switch her college major\, and on the verge of leaving her long-term boyfriend. Over the course of the next four years of life-altering changes of heart\, she must navigate the troubled waters of her love life and struggle to find her career path\, while learning to take a realistic look at who she really is. Winner of numerous awards including Best Actress — Renate Reinsve\, Cannes Film Festival\, and best Foreign Language Film\, New York Film Critics Circle\, The Worst Person in the World is acclaimed as “a romantic drama for people who hate romantic dramas” (Toronto Star) with a performance by Reinsve as “masterful as Julie\, throwing light on every facet of the art of being a total mess” (Chicago Reader). (128 min. In Norwegian with English subtitles)\nWATCH TRAILER \nFlee (dir. Jonas Poher Rasmussen\, Denmark\, 2021) \nSundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize winner Flee tells the story of Amin Nawabi as he grapples with a painful secret he has kept hidden for 20 years\, one that threatens to derail the life he has built for himself and his soon-to-be husband. Director Jonas Poher Rasmussen depicts the refugee experience through vivid animation in a moving memoir hailed as “a feat of humanistic filmmaking… a movie we will be celebrating all through next year’s awards season and talking about long after” (Harper’s Bazaar) (89 min. In Danish with English subtitles)\nWATCH TRAILER

SUMMARY:Online Nordic Book Club: Dog Park by Sofi Oksanen
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 11\, we’ll be discussing Dog Park by acclaimed Finnish-Estonian author Sofi Oksanen\, who recently joined us for a virtual panel now streaming here. \nA captivating story of intrigue\, betrayal\, and murder in the global fertility market from Oksanen\, “an international publishing sensation frequently likened to Stieg Larsson” (The Guardian)\, Dog Park begins in Helsinki\, 2016. Olenka sits on a bench\, watching a family play in a dog park\, as a stranger sits down beside her. Olenka startles; she would recognize this other woman anywhere — after all\, Olenka was the one who ruined her life. And this woman may be about to do the same to Olenka. Yet\, for a fragile moment\, here they are\, together — looking at their own children being raised by other people. \nMoving seamlessly between modern-day Finland and Ukraine in the early days of its post-Soviet independence\, Dog Park is a keenly observed\, dark\, and propulsive novel set at the intersection of East and West\, centered on a web of exploitation and the commodification of the female body. Sofi Oksanen brings fearless psychological acuity to this captivating story about a woman unable to escape the memory of her lost child\, the ruthless powers that still hunt her\, and the lies that could well end up saving her. \n“A dystopian novel that seems all too real”—Kirkus Reviews

SUMMARY:Present Tense Machine — Virtual Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual book talk on Present Tense Machine with award-winning Norwegian author Gunnhild Øyehaug! With author Jennifer Offill as moderator\,Øyehaug will discuss the exquisite\, wistful\, and slyly profound new novel\, out January 11 in translation by Karl Dickson from Farrar\, Straus and Giroux. \nOn an ordinary day in Bergen\, Norway\, in the late 1990s\, Anna is reading in the garden while her two-year-old daughter\, Laura\, plays on her tricycle. Then\, in one startling moment\, Anna misreads a word\, an alternate universe opens up\, and Laura disappears. Twenty years or so later\, life has gone on as if nothing happened\, but in each of the women’s lives\, something is not quite right. Both Anna and Laura continue to exist\, but they are invisible to each other and forgotten in each other’s worlds. Both are writers and amateur pianists. They are married; Anna had two more children after Laura disappeared\, and Laura is expecting a child of her own. They worry about their families\, their jobs\, the climate—and whether this reality is all there is. \nØyehaug delivers another dazzling renovation of what fiction can do: a testament to the fact that language shapes the world. \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. \n“Playful and poignant . . . The ruminations on existence and purpose consistently captivate . . . Øyehaug steers this to a wholly satisfying conclusion.” —Publishers Weekly \nAbout the Author\nGunnhild Øyehaug is an award-winning Norwegian poet\, essayist\, and fiction writer. FSG has published her story collection Knots as well as her novel Wait\, Blink\, which was adapted into the acclaimed film Women in Oversized Men’s Shirts. Øyehaug lives in Bergen\, where she teaches creative writing. \nAbout the Moderator\nJenny Offill is the author of three novels\, most recently Weather (Knopf\, 2020)\, which was shortlisted for the Women’s Prize. She is a visiting writer at Bard College and lives in upstate New York.

SUMMARY:Music on Park Avenue with Per Tengstrand - About Schubert: The Arpeggione Sonata

In the third concert in the series\, Tengstrand will be joined by Katie Liu on viola in a performance of Schubert’s “Arpeggione Sonata.” \nIn the series “About Schubert\,” Katie Liu and Per Tengstrand performed parts of Schubert’s wonderful “Arpeggione Sonata” by recording and filming their parts separately in New Jersey and Malmo\, Sweden. In tonight’s performance\, they will join together on the stage at Victor Borge Hall to play the whole work\, in addition to pieces by Bach and other composers.  \nTickets to this event must be purchased in advance online at the link above; screenings will take place in Victor Borge Hall.

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:Catwalk: From Glada Hudik to New York
DESCRIPTION:“[A] unique and wonderful story” (Allas) — this December\, see the inspiring new documentary Catwalk: From Glada Hudik to New York/ Catwalk – från Glada Hudik till New York (Sweden\, 2020; dir. Johan Skog) in New Nordic Cinema at Scandinavia House! \nEmma Örtlund has had a lifelong dream of becoming a fashion model\, and asks Pär Johansson\, founder of the Happy Hudik Theatre\, for help. It’s an unattainable dream for most people — and seemingly even more so for people with disabilities like Emma\, and the four young  theater members who decide to join her on her mission. As they together embark on an exciting and bewildering journey to fulfill the impossible\, their unique personalities and stories deliver joy and inspiration to the fashion world and beyond; making a powerful statement about the importance of equal value\, disabled or not\, while giving them their time to shine. \nUplifting\, entertaining\, emotional and inspiring\, Catwalk truly is a film for our times. (95 min. In Swedish and English with English subtitles) \nFilm screenings will take place as a 3 PM matinee and 7 PM evening showing. Tickets to this event must be purchased in advance online at the link above; film screenings will take place in Victor Borge Hall. All attendees are required to present proof of vaccination upon arrival in compliance with New York State government; read more here. 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. \nAbout the Director\nJohan Skog has over 30 years of experience as a director of commercials\, television and documentary. He has won a number of Swedish Golden Egg Awards\, as well as the Gold Lion in Cannes for his commercials. \nHe directed the first season of the Stars at the Castle\, which won the the Swedish Crystal for Best Entertainment\, and Parasit-TV for public service broadcaster SVT\, which was nominated in Montreaux for Best Comedy Series.
