SUMMARY:NINJABABY
DESCRIPTION:This fall at Scandinavia House\, experience Nordic comedy at its darkest with “Svart Humor”! “If there’s a dead body in Denmark\, someone is going to make a joke about it\,” director Anders Jensen once said; Nordic comedies are as known for their deadpan\, dry wit as for their occasionally noir subject matter\, celebrating the “svart/sort” (dark) side of life’s hilarities. \nThe series concludes November 9 with “an uncompromisingly brilliant comedy about unwanted pregnancy\,” Ninjababy (dir. Yngvild Sve Flikke\, Norway\, 2021)! Rakel (Kristine Kujath Thorp) discovers she is six months pregnant after a not-so-romantic one-night stand. At age 23\, she is absolutely not ready to be a mother\, but since abortion is no longer an option\, adoption is the only answer. \n\n\nOut of the drawings in her notebook\, the Ninjababy — “who thinks it can just hide in there\, have a good time and sneak out nine months later” — appears as an animated character\, putting up a fight for his own future. Rakel has to navigate between what she thinks is best for herself and what’s best for the baby — but could it be the same thing? \nBased on the comic novel “Fallteknikk” by Inga Sætre (who has also created the animation in the film) and winner of Best European Comedy at the 2021 European Film Awards and a Crystal Bear at the 2021 Berlin Film Festival\, Ninjababy is a moving and fun film about growing up and the paradox of how unprepared one can be for pregnancy — even at one’s most fertile age. \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT: REMEMBER TO BLINK — NEW YORK BALTIC FILM FESTIVAL
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD OUT. \nThe 6th Annual New York Baltic Film Festival (NYBFF) presented by Scandinavia House: The Nordic Center in America returns this November with the best new films from the Baltic region! In our Opening Night Celebration on November 8\, see the North American Premiere of Remember to Blink\, Austėja Urbaitė’s captivating drama exploring cultural conflicts amid the intricacies of human behavior. \nHaving adopted two Lithuanian children\, French couple Leon (Arthur Igual) and Jacqueline (Anne Azoulay)\, who live in a beautiful house in the French mountains\, enlist young Lithuanian student Gabriele (Dovile Kundrotaite) to serve as an interpreter and nanny. When the children arrive\, however\, their idyllic façade of their new family arrangement gives way to underlying tensions and cultural clashes — the couple might not be familiar with their adopted children’s origins\, leading to conflicts and misunderstandings\, and unearthing the complexities of parenthood and culture. \nDirector Austėja Urbaitė’s debut is a thought-provoking exploration of the subtle dynamics of what it means to become a family. The film skillfully unveils the characters’ multifaceted and irrational traits\, weaving a tapestry of relationships that question the boundaries of culture and identity\, and exposes a form of “Neo-colonialism” reflecting broader cultural conflicts. Urbaitė deftly employs unpredictability of her characters with nuanced performances to maintain viewer engagement\, while cinematographer Julius Sičiūnas juxtaposes the serene natural surroundings with the mounting tension within the confined household.

SUMMARY:COLLECTIVE — NEW YORK BALTIC FILM FESTIVAL
DESCRIPTION:The 6th Annual New York Baltic Film Festival (NYBFF) presented by Scandinavia House: The Nordic Center in America returns this November with the best new films from the Baltic region! This year’s lineup includes Collective (Kolektīvs\, Lativa\, 2023)\, a film anthology that revolves around the participants of the Latvian Song and Dance Festival\, a cherished cultural tradition thriving in the Baltic states.  The film will screen in-person at Scandinavia House on November 10 at 8 PM and virtually from November 11-19. \nDrawing inspiration from real-life events\, this anthology features six directors\, chosen for their distinctively different artistic styles and body of work. Fervor (Degsme\, dir. Aik Karapetian) crafts a mystical tale of sacrifice within a dance ensemble. Gaismas Pils (dir. Edgars Kaupers) presents a gripping and one-of-a-kind perspective on the historic events of 1985\, focusing on the bravery of countless choir singers. The slightly farcical film Manwhore and Fish (Maukurs un zivs\, dir. Papa Chi) challenges the tradition of choirs “buying” good voices\, while Frolova’s Method (Frolovas metode\, dir. Oskars Rupenheits) takes a delightful and humorous approach\, exploring the quirky world of a young\, nervous choir conductor with shaking hands. Pigs in Buckwheat (Cūkas driķos\, dir. Marta Elīna Martinsone) offers a fresh and empathic view on what happens behind the scenes of the main dance concert\, and the vibrant and colorful Latvian musical Kristīne (dir: Mārtiņš Grauds) paints a tale of jealousy and rivalry between two choir collectives. \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:REMEMBER TO BLINK — NEW YORK BALTIC FILM FESTIVAL
DESCRIPTION:The 6th Annual New York Baltic Film Festival (NYBFF) presented by Scandinavia House: The Nordic Center in America returns this November with the best new films from the Baltic region! On November 8\, see the North American Premiere of Remember to Blink\, Austėja Urbaitė’s captivating drama exploring cultural conflicts amid the intricacies of human behavior. \nHaving adopted two Lithuanian children\, French couple Leon (Arthur Igual) and Jacqueline (Anne Azoulay)\, who live in a beautiful house in the French mountains\, enlist young Lithuanian student Gabriele (Dovile Kundrotaite) to serve as an interpreter and nanny. When the children arrive\, however\, their idyllic façade of their new family arrangement gives way to underlying tensions and cultural clashes — the couple might not be familiar with their adopted children’s origins\, leading to conflicts and misunderstandings\, and unearthing the complexities of parenthood and culture. \nDirector Austėja Urbaitė’s debut is a thought-provoking exploration of the subtle dynamics of what it means to become a family. The film skillfully unveils the characters’ multifaceted and irrational traits\, weaving a tapestry of relationships that question the boundaries of culture and identity\, and exposes a form of “Neo-colonialism” reflecting broader cultural conflicts. Urbaitė deftly employs unpredictability of her characters with nuanced performances to maintain viewer engagement\, while cinematographer Julius Sičiūnas juxtaposes the serene natural surroundings with the mounting tension within the confined household. \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:CRIME SOLVING FOR BEGINNERS — NEW YORK BALTIC FILM FESTIVAL
DESCRIPTION:The 6th Annual New York Baltic Film Festival (NYBFF) presented by Scandinavia House: The Nordic Center in America returns this November with the best new films from the Baltic region! This year’s lineup includes the International Premiere of Armands Zvirbulis’s Crime Solving for Beginners (Krimināllieta iesācējam\, Latvia/Lithuania\, 2022)\, a gripping Baltic Noir series set within the turbulent landscape of post-Soviet Latvia. *The first two episodes of the seven-episode TV series will screen at Scandinavia House on November 12; all episodes of the series will be available to stream virtually from November 13-19 for both in-person and virtual ticketholders.* \nIn 1995\, Latvia is freshly liberated from Soviet control\, yet still grappling with the remnants of its past. On the same day that the nation destroys a significant Soviet symbol\, a popular nationalist MP’s aide is brutally murdered\, revealing a political conspiracy in his wake. Through three intertwining plotlines\, we meet three protagonists navigating the event and the complexities of this new era — including a young investigator unraveling the web of power dynamics\, a released career criminal\, and the formidable Natalia Nolle\, whose KGB-trained mind has influenced politicians. \nPurchase Tickets
