SUMMARY:GRETA MAGNUSSON GROSSMAN: MODERN DESIGN FROM SWEDEN TO CALIFORNIA
DESCRIPTION:On October 19\, join us for a book talk with Harriet Harriss and Naomi House on Greta Magnusson Grossman: Modern Design from Sweden to California\, out now from Lund Humphries! They’ll discuss their definitive book on Swedish designer\, whose significant contributions to design and architecture have largely been ignored until recently. \nGreta Magnusson Grossman (1906-1999) was a prolific designer working within the male-dominated world of mid-century modern design\, whose status and influence has been largely ignored. Grossman was the ultimate polymath — an industrial designer\, interior designer and architect working within two fascinating contexts: Scandinavia and North America. This book gives an overview of Grossman’s background and education and the formative years of her career in Sweden\, before describing her move to Los Angeles in 1940. \nWhile she is remembered for her work as a product and lighting designer\, her work as an interior designer has been almost entirely overlooked. \nThis book catalogues and emphasizes the significance of her contribution to interior design: making the connections between ideas she tested at the scale of the product within the interior environment. It positions her contribution to interior design in relation to the canon of the genres to which she contributed\, her discipline and the emerging canon of women designers — who are only now being recognized\, whilst considering her enduring legacy upon the world of design today. \nThis talk will take place at Scandinavia House. \nRegister

SUMMARY:SAUNA: THE POWER OF DEEP HEAT
DESCRIPTION:On October 24\, join us for a book discussion with author Emma O’Kelly on Sauna: The Power of Deep Heat! With moderator Eero Kilpi (President\, the North American Sauna Society)\, she’ll discuss her book exploring the new wave of sauna culture spreading throughout the world\, out September 19 from Welbeck. \nSaunas are now being built in unique settings providing tech-free spaces in which to gather\, share stories and enjoy nature. The tradition has a rich history\, filled with rituals that encourage us to soak up the mental and physical joys of deep heat. Sauna highlights the benefits the sauna brings to body and mind\, its connection to nature\, its history and mythology and its compatibility with another great invigorator – cold water swimming. \nAccompanied by stunning photography by Maija Astikainen\, Sauna honors the old\, embraces the new\, and plunges headlong into the transformative power of steam. \n“Smartly written and beautifully illustrated”—Mikkel Aaland\, author of Sweat \n“An essential guide to a movement reborn\, blending modernity and tradition\, design and wellness\, community and nature”—Sarah Douglas\, Editor-in-Chief\, Wallpaper* magazine \nSpecial thanks to the North American Sauna Society. \nRegister

SUMMARY:THE WOODCUTTER STORY
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. \nOn October 25\, see the Finnish dark comedy The Woodcutter Story (Metsurin Tarina\, dir. Mikko Myllylahti\, Finland/Netherlands/Denmark/Germany\, 2022)! Pepe (Jarkko Lahti ) is a woodcutter in an idyllic small town in northern Finland\, who deeply believes in a better tomorrow. Over the span of a couple of days\, however\, a series of events gradually destroys the quiet and happy life he once had. \nBut as chaos\, and strife\, and surreal adventures are repeatedly thrown at him\, Pepe remains smiling\, optimistic\, and determined to the look on the bright side of life. As if he knew a secret to existence that no one else did… \nAnchored by a riotously deadpan lead performance and a wild cast of characters (including a child barber\, a singing psychic\, and a talking fish)\, this absurd and hilarious fable from The Happiest Day in the Life of Olli Mäki writer Mikko Myllylahti is an ode to optimism despite losing everything. \nSelected for L’Atelier Cannes in 2019 and labs such as Next Step in 2018\, Torino FeatureLab in 2018\, Toronto Filmmaker Lab in 2018\, Jerusalem Film Lab in 2016 and Berlinale Script Station in 2015. \n“A Kaurismäkian variant on Twin Peaks\, with a soupçon of Fargo“—Screen International \n“The Woodcutter Story might be the most terrifying movie of the year”—The Playlist \nRegister

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT:  THE PROMISED LAND
DESCRIPTION:*THIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD OUT* \nOn November 1\, join us for a special screening and film talk of the new epic The Promised Land\, selected as Denmark’s contender for Best International Feature for the 2024 Academy Awards\, with director Nikolaj Arcel and Mads Mikkelsen! Nikolaj Arcel and Mads Mikkelsen will hold a film talk and Q&A following the screening. \nIn 18th century Denmark\, Captain Ludvig Kahlen (Mads Mikkelsen) — a proud\, ambitious\, but impoverished war hero — sets out to tame a vast\, uninhabitable land on which seemingly nothing can grow. He seeks to start farming crops\, build a colony in the name of the King\, and gain a noble title for himself. This beautiful but forbidding area also happens to be under the rule of the merciless Frederik De Schinkel\, a preening nobleman who realizes the threat Kahlen represents to his power. Struggling against the elements and local brigands\, Kahlen is joined by a couple who has fled the clutches of the rapacious De Schinkel. As this group of misfits begins to build a small community in this inhospitable place\, De Schinkel swears vengeance\, and the confrontation between him and Kahlen promises to be as violent and intense as these two men. An official selection at  Venice International Film Festival\, Toronto International Film Festival\, and others\, Niklaj Arcel’s (Oscar®-nominated for A Royal Affair) sweeping film has been hailed as “the kind of ravishing\, rousing epic we don’t really get much of anymore” (Bilge Ebiri\, New York Magazine). \nPurchase Tickets

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
