SUMMARY:HAMMARSKJÖLD - FIGHT FOR PEACE
DESCRIPTION:“A stylish historical lesson and an homage (ScreenAnarchy)” — Iconic actor Mikael Persbrandt (The Kingdom Exodus) stars in the gripping true story of the man John F. Kennedy once called “the greatest statesman of our century\,” Dag Hammarskjöld. \nNew York City\, 1961. At the peak of the Cold War\, the charismatic diplomat and economist Dag Hammarskjöld has reached the pinnacle of his power\, serving in his seventh year as Secretary-General of the United Nations. During the process of decolonization\, he takes it upon himself to bring peace to the African countries\, thwarting plans to further exploit resources of both powerful entrepreneurs and world leaders. Meanwhile\, a visit from his old friend Peter turns his life upside down\, and Dag begins questioning his unprecedented devotion and dedication to his job and vision. But when UN peacekeepers are killed in open battle in the Congo\, the Secretary-General sees no other way than to impose peace by new measures\, leading the UN troops on their first war mission. As he boards a a plane to negotiate a case-fire\, Hammarskjöld is aware that enemies are plotting against him… \nBased on historical facts and including the results of the most recent investigations\, this political thriller puts one of mankind’s most respected diplomats into the limelight (dir. Per Fly\, Sweden\, 2023). \n“A measured\, respectful drama…there is a crisp elegance to the storytelling that seeks to match Hammarskjold’s personality” (Allan Hunter\, Screendaily)

SUMMARY:AURORA | ESTONIAN CULTURAL DAYS
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Estonian Cultural Days on April 6 with a screening of the suspenseful new love story Aurora! Director Rain Tolk will be present for a film talk and Q&A following the screening. \nAurora (Maarja Johanna Mägi)\, the daughter of the religious leader Valdek\, enters into a secret extramarital affair with Lenny (Jörgen Liik)\, which ultimately ends with a discovery that collapses her world. Years later\, at a family wedding anniversary celebration with her husband Joonas\, Aurora receives a message that rips open old wounds; which doesn’t go unnoticed by Joonas. As Aurora strives to present a celebration of family values\, an unexpected visitor arrives. As secrets come to light\, the seemingly harmonious family’s facade shows its cracks\, and she must make a difficult decision. \nAurora shows love as a tragic chasm between uncontrollable explosion of desire and love as a earthly\, self-conscious decision.

SUMMARY:THE UGLY STEPSISTER | SCREENING & FILM TALK
DESCRIPTION:On April 7\, see Norwegian director Emilie Blichfeldt’s sinister reimagining of the Cinderella story\, The Ugly Stepsister! Emilie Blichfeld will be present for a film talk and Q&A following the screening. \nElvira (Lea Myren) is preparing to earn the prince’s affection\, at any cost. But in a kingdom where beauty is a brutal business\, Elvira must compete with the beautiful and enchanting Agnes (Thea Sofie Loch Næss) to become the belle of the ball. The Ugly Stepsister is a chilling\, visually stunning exploration of beauty\, worth\, and the societal systems that shape women’s lives (Norway\, 2025). \n“A fascinating exploration of beauty standards\, and the way in which women are repeatedly placed into competition with one another” (THN). \n“Emilie Blichfeldt blends the more brutal folktale elements with phantasmatic longing” (Sight & Sound).

SUMMARY:SUN CITY BY TOVE JANSSON | NORDIC BOOK CLUB ONLINE
DESCRIPTION:Read and discuss literature with our Nordic Book Club Online! On April 8\, we’ll be discussing Sun City\, an off-beat novel about a retirement community in sunny Florida\, from Moomins creator and Finnish literary icon Tove Jansson. \nIn The Summer Book and The True Deceiver\, as in her many short stories\, Tove Jansson was drawn again and again to the everyday life of the aged. Not as a group apart but as full-blooded people with as many jealousies\, urges\, and joys as any other group. It’s no wonder that in her travels through America in the 1970s she became fascinated with what was then a particularly American institution\, the retirement home\, where older people live in their particular tightly knit worlds. \nIn Sun City\, Jansson depicts these worlds in a group portrait of residents and employees at the Berkeley Arms in St. Petersburg\, Florida. As the narrative moves from character to character\, so the characters move through an America riven by cultural divides\, facing the death of its dream. The Berkeley Arms’s newest resident finds a place among the rocking chairs and endless chatter on the veranda\, while other residents long for past glories\, mourning their losses and killing time. Meanwhile one of their attendants\, Bounty Joe\, is eagerly awaiting a letter\, or even just a postcard\, alerting him to the imminent return of Jesus Christ. “Nobody’s normal anymore\,” as the bartender says\, “not the old geezers and not the newborn kids.” \nRegister

SUMMARY:THE MISSILE
DESCRIPTION:On April 9\, see the Finnish absurdist dramedy The Missile in New Nordic Cinema! \nBased on true events that took place in Finnish Lapland in the mid-1980s\, The Missile (Ohjus; dir. Miia Tervo\, Finland\, 2024) stars Oona Airola as Niina\, a single mother of two children and archivist for the local newspaper\, who has recently escaped an abusive relationship. One day Niina hears an enormous bang from the sky — and the radio reports that the Soviet Union has shot a missile across the Finnish border to Inari. Soon the village is filled with foreign correspondents from around the world\, but no one knows the area and its people as well as Niina. She is soon drawn into the investigation of the missile\, and as the threat of nuclear war looms large\, she meets a fighter pilot\, Kai\, who may know some of its secrets. As world audiences are captivated by the Finnish-Russian border incident\, Niina must confront some boundary issues of her own. \n“Pitches political satire against heartfelt comedy” (Variety)

SUMMARY:STORMSKERRY MAJA
DESCRIPTION:See an epic\, sweeping drama about a young couple’s survival on the remote island of Stormskär\, Stormskerry Maja (dir. Tiina Lymi\, Finland\, 2024). \nBased on the beloved books of Ålandic writer Anni Blomqvist\, Stormskerry Maja stars Amanda Jansson as Maja\, who at the age of 17 marries fisherman Janne (Linus Troedsson) and moves with him to a remote island. Here\, her life is full of challenges and adversities: as a fisherman’s wife\, she has to cope with her husband’s long absences at sea and take care of her family alone. As time passes\, however\, Maja grows into a strong-willed and independent woman\, who is not afraid to tackle the barren archipelago. As Maja and Janne’s connection deepens across time\, they face numerous challenges and upheavals\, including the Åland War\, along the way. \n“An ample\, epic\, romantic and feminist drama… a beautiful mastery of time ellipses\, a very touching portrait of a woman stronger than she thought she was and which easily resonates today” (Cineuropa).

SUMMARY:THE RIOT
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate International Workers’ Day with The Riot\, a historical action drama exploring the origins of the labor movement and workers’ rights in Norway\, on April 30! \nDirected by Academy Award-nominated director Nils Gaup (The Last King\, 2016)\, The Riot tells the story of the struggle against oppression in the mining town of Sulitjelma\, called Sulis\, at the beginning of the 20th century. In this Wild West of the Nordic countries ruled by a mining company\, slave labor and the brutality of capitalism run rampant\, as workers struggle under inhuman conditions in the dark and dangerous mines. When 16-year-old Konrad arrives\, his only goal is to return home to Sweden\, having worked as a farmhand to support his widowed mother and sister. But as a ruthless new foreman named Wennström makes increasingly risky demands\, Konrad must choose whether to stand with other  suppressed workers to revolt against the mine. \nA powerful film about the dream of a better life\, the compromises and exploitation of capitalism\, trust and the fight for justice\, The Riot stars Otto Fahlgren (Beartown) and Simon J. Berger (Margrete – Queen of the North; Exit) in the true story of one of Norway’s most tumultuous\, nation-defining events (Norway/Sweden\, 2022). \n“Vividly portrays how the relentless pursuit of wealth\, power and prestige can erode basic human values and compassion” (Beat Magazine)
