SUMMARY:SWEDISH BEGINNER 2 — HYBRID LANGUAGE CLASSES

This semester the students will move beyond themselves and explore how to buy and order things\, talk about what they do in their spare time\, and read about an historical figure. Grammatically they will expand into other tenses and learn how adjectives and nouns inform each other. Various facets of Swedish life may be discussed during the course.

SUMMARY:SONGS OF EARTH | NORDIC & BALTIC OSCAR CONTENDERS
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of Songs of Earth (dir.  Margreth Olin\, Norway\, 2023) in the Nordic & Baltic Oscar Contenders series at Scandinavia House! The series returns this year with screenings of films chosen by the Nordic & Baltic countries to compete for the Oscar nomination for Best International Feature Film\, including this year’s candidate for Norway. \n“A remarkable\, poetic meditation” (Vox) — a stunning documentary about life\, mortality\, and humanity’s place within nature\, Songs of Earth was made over the course of a year that director Margreth Olin spent with her elderly father in his ancestral home of Oldedalen. Olin’s father becomes our guide to the majestic fjord-carved river valley — having lived in Oldedalen for most of his 85 years\, he shares his deeply felt connection to a landscape that we learn to be both bountiful and unforgiving. Executive produced by Liv Ullmann and Wim Wenders\, Olin’s breathtaking footage of primordial elements — wild mountains\, calving glaciers\, and bustling wildlife — propels profound\, existential conversations between parent and child. \nPurchase Tickets

When her friends and peers encourage her to run for a seat in the Latvian Supreme Council\, Alicija receives an anonymous letter threatening to upend her life and her marriage. Unsure of who to trust\, she must consider the question: love or independence? \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:TWICE COLONIZED | SCREENING & FILM TALK WITH AAJU PETER
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special screening and film talk of Twice Colonized (dir. Lin Alluna; Denmark\, Canada and Greenland; 2023) with Inuk lawyer Aaju Peter! Returning this November and December\, the New York Baltic Oscar Contenders series features films chosen for Oscar nominations at the 96th Annual Academy Awards. This screening features the Greenlandic winner of the Cannes Film Market’s Award for Best Doc-in-Progress and the Movies That Matter Festival’s Camera Justitia Award\, which has been selected as a contender for Best Documentary Feature Film at the Oscars. \nTwice Colonized is a documentary profile of renowned Inuk lawyer Aaju Peter and a sober look at the social cost of forced assimilation. Peter was raised in Denmark\, the land of her colonizers\, where her parents sent her to receive a Western education when she was only a child. This traumatic separation from her home\, family\, and culture at a young age profoundly influenced Peter\, inspiring her to devote her life to the pursuit of justice for Inuit people across Canada and Greenland. While launching an effort to establish an Indigenous Forum at the EU\, Peter finds herself facing a difficult and deeply personal journey to mend her own wounds after the unexpected passing of her youngest son. Lin Alluna’s incisive and necessary film “begins with a childhood lost but expands into something much much more\, where specters of an individual’s past bleed into the collective horrors of the present” (The Film Verdict). \nAaju Peter\, who is featured in the film\, presents a talk after the screening. \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:APOLONIA\, APOLONIA | SCREENING & DIRECTOR TALK
DESCRIPTION:“An impressively idiosyncratic\, far-reaching work…” (Variety) — see Danish filmmaker Lea Glob’s fascinating portrait of an artist as a young woman\, Apolonia\, Apolonia (Denmark/Poland\, 20223)! Returning this November and December\, the New York Baltic Oscar Contenders series features films chosen for Oscar nominations at the 96th Annual Academy Awards. The director will be present for a talk about her film\, which has been selected as a contender for Best Documentary Feature Film. \nWhen Lea Glob first met (and filmed) Apolonia Sokol in 2009\, she appeared to be leading a storybook life. The talented young painter was born in an underground theater in Paris and grew up in an artists’ community — the ultimate bohemian existence — later studying in her 20s at the Beaux-Arts de Paris\, one of the most prestigious art academies in Europe. Over the next 13 years\, Glob continued to film the charismatic Apolonia\, as a special bond developed between the two young women. In the resulting documentary\, we see a young woman trying to find her place in the art world: one who is confident in her talent\, but does not always find herself on an easy path. Apolonia soon learns that women painters have to make more sacrifices and overcome greater obstacles than their male counterparts do\, a lesson that applies both herself and her longtime friend Oksana Shachko\, one of the founders of the feminist action group Femen. \nPurchase Tickets
