SUMMARY:THE 2026 ICELANDIC TRANSLATOR TRIPTYCH
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a celebration of Icelandic literature in translation on October 6 with authors Steinunn G. Helgadóttir and Sigrún Pálsdóttir\, in conversation with translator Larissa Kyzer! \nNow out from Open Letter\, the 2026 Translator Triptych (Iceland) features three novels—including Steinunn G. Helgadóttir’s The Strongest Woman in the World and Sigrún Pálsdóttir’s Boudoir—that have been acclaimed since their publication in Icelandic\, and are now available in English translation. \nIn Steinunn G. Helgadóttir’s The Strongest Woman in the World\, in translation by Larissa Kyzer\, siblings Eiður and Gunnhildur grow up in a household balanced uneasily between emotional volatility and unspoken grief—a home where their parents are never happy at the same time. When tragedy fractures the family\, the siblings are separated\, their lives diverging in unexpected and quietly extraordinary ways. Eiður turns to activism\, seeking order and justice in a world that rarely offers either. Traveling to Lesbos to lead a group of rebel activists aiding the refugee crisis\, he fears that he lacks the passion and empathy necessary to enact true social change. Gunnhildur\, who hides a physical strength most would find unimaginable\, becomes a mortuary cosmetologist\, renowned for her ability to lend peace and dignity to the dead. In her meticulous care for the bodies of others\, she finds a way to hold the world still\, if only briefly.  These two threads—Gunnhildur’s superhero-like strength and Eiður’s activism—come together at a jail\, where Gunnhildur attempts to prove that she really is the strongest woman in the world. \nIn Sigrún Pálsdóttir’s Boudoir\, translated by Lytton Smith\, Teddý lives with her parents on a farm in the Icelandic wilderness. It’s 1962 and the world is changing\, although you wouldn’t know it from the stark quiet of the lava fields and mountains that mark the boundaries of the young woman’s existence. But after two chance encounters\, Teddý’s dreams of a world beyond begin to crystallise\, albeit in strange and unexpected ways\, as we follow one woman’s life over five decades\, from farm to city to the skies. Taking us from the grandeur of rural Iceland to the glossy\, sticky world of 1970s air travel\, via check fraud\, thwarted ambition and lost astronauts\, the latest. novel from the winner of the 2021 European Union Prize for Literature explores reinvention\, dislocation\, and the lives and selves we think we’ve left behind. \nRegister

SUMMARY:SOLOMAMMA | NEW NORDIC CINEMA
DESCRIPTION:“A touching and incisive portrait” (Cineuropa) —On October 7\, see the tender comedy-drama Solomamma! In Janicke Askevold’s second feature\, a single mother gets tangled up in a web of lies while searching for the identity of her son’s sperm donor. \nWhen Edith suddenly finds herself single as she nears her 40th birthday\, she chooses to have a child with the help of a sperm donor. But the joy of being a single mother to Sigurd is challenged by a creeping uncertainty when her son begins to ask questions about his absent father. When she unexpectedly discovers the donor’s identity—a nearby successful game developer named Niels—curiosity leads her to meet him on the pretext of an interview. What begins as a calculated encounter gradually deepens into a genuine connection\, driving Edith to sink deeper into lies and endanger the fragile balance of the life she has built. \nSolomamma is a sensitive drama about identity and belonging\, providing a rich portrayal of how modern family ties extend beyond the purely biological. Director Janicke Askevold explores the ethical dilemmas surrounding anonymous sperm donation and modern motherhood. Lisa Loven Kongsli and Herbert Nordrum embody their roles perfectly\, bringing out the vibrant tension in their encounters. The film was the first Norwegian film since 1975 to be selected for the main competition at the prestigious Locarno Film Festival. \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:RUBEN HØGH | CONCERT
DESCRIPTION:Join us on October 8 for an evening with Danish pianist and former ASF Fellow Ruben Høgh! With a strong focus on sonic experimentation and commitment to artistic innovation\, Høgh moves freely between European classical traditions and the raw energy of New York’s Downtown scene. \n\n\nParticularly drawn to the resonating textures and sonic landscapes of post-rock and inspired by composers like Julia Wolfe\, John Adams\, Steve Reich\, Olivier Messiaen and Dmitri Shostakovich\, he explores new forms of pianism that both challenge and build on conventions and create immersive concert experiences where the distance between stage and audience dissolves. This includes the use of extended techniques\, prepared piano\, as well as electronic textures and software. \n\n\n\n\nPurchase tickets

SUMMARY:ON THE OTHER SIDE IS MARCH | NORDIC BOOK CLUB ONLINE
DESCRIPTION:Read and discuss literature with our Nordic Book Club Online! Nordic Book Club meets monthly via Zoom to discuss contemporary literature in translation. On October 13 in coordination with West Nordic Film Days\, we’ll read On the Other Side is March by Sólrún Michelsen\, a poignant and darkly witty portrait of aging\, memory and multigenerational caretaking from the first female Faroese writer to ever appear in English. \nI’m a woman in my early sixties. Somewhere between late and never. No longer the career woman\, mother\, housewife\, and lover doing it all… Now I’m wife\, mother\, grandmother and my mother’s mother. But I still have to satisfy all the demands placed on me. \nSo begins Sólrún Michelsen’s tender and darkly witty exploration of what she considers to be the strange\, remaining leg of life’s journey. Her kids are grown and out of the house and she’s faced with a time that\, for years\, she always seemed to be looking toward—a time when she wasn’t needed by somebody or something. But now\, with her mother’s declining health\, she finds herself revisiting childhood scenes\, family hymns\, and folk songs—revealing a lifetime of love\, duty\, awe\, and regret. She tends to her mother amid the stark rhythms of Faroese life\, waiting for a new nursing home that never arrives\, and confronts the reality of being part of the “army of women” who inherit care. In her grief and private goodbye to her mother\, however\, is also a gorgeous meditation about life\, as translator Marita Thomsen says in her afterword\, “in its ragged mundane glory.” \nA lyrical portrait of caretaking and the invisible labor of motherhood\, On the Other Side Is March is a tribute to caretakers across generational lines\, as well as the the rich oral traditions of singing and storytelling that kept the Faroese language alive centuries before its standard written form. This is the first work of Michelsen’s—a best-selling author of novels\, short stories\, poetry\, and children’s literature—to be published in English. It has been translated by Marita Thomsen. \nOn the Other Side is March is available in paperback and ebook from Bookshop.org\, Amazon.com and other retailers. \nRegister

SUMMARY:HAMPUS ÖHMAN-FRÖLUND: MOTVALSEN
DESCRIPTION:Join us on October 15 for an unforgettable evening with Hampus Öhman-Frölund as he plays selections from his new solo record\, “Motvalsen”! \n“Motvalsen” (2026) is the first drums / percussion solo record from NYC-based Swedish drummer Hampus Öhman-Frölund. Blending acoustic percussion with electronics\, samples\, and instruments from Sweden\, the album explores his experience of leaving home\, building a life in New York in his mid-twenties\, and finding new ways to engage with his cultural roots in the diaspora. Inspired by the textures and spirit of Scandinavian folk music—without claiming a place within that tradition—Motvalsen presents a deeply personal electro-acoustic meditation on memory\, distance\, and transnational belonging.\n\nPurchase tickets

SUMMARY:TELL EVERYONE | NEW NORDIC CINEMA
DESCRIPTION:“A compelling and ultimately compassionate story”—On October 21\, see the striking period drama Tell Everyone! Director Alli Haapasalo and lead actress Marketta Tikkanen will be present for a Q&A following the screening. \nOn a remote island where troublesome women are sent to be forgotten\, an emotionally charged struggle for liberation unfolds in a dazzlingly beautiful and deeply moving historical drama. \n\nFollowing her acclaimed Girl Picture (2022)\, director Alli Haapasalo takes the female body’s built-in violence and imbues that bottled up fury into 19th-century Finland on a little island called Seili. The year is 1898\, and Amanda (Marketta Tikkanen) arrives at the institution on the island of Seili in the Finnish archipelago. She has been committed after living a wandering\, decadent life\, marked by episodes of “madness” once a month caused by severe menstrual pain. Amanda considers her stay on the island strictly temporary\, but as she begins to form bonds with the other women\, doubt takes root. Marketta Tikkanen shines in the lead role\, supported by Alma Pöysti\, Krista Kosonen and Aamu Milonoff\, who together create a richly layered gallery of female fates in a genuinely affecting drama. \n\nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:NO COMMENT | NEW NORDIC CINEMA
DESCRIPTION:“A sharp and entertaining satire with a biting edge” —On October 28\, see the political satire No Comment! In his newest film\, Norwegian director Petter Næss (Elling) takes aim at a political establishment willing to sacrifice both morality and truth to save its own skin and hold on to power. \nAs the election approaches\, sitting Prime Minister Alma Solvik (Laila Goody) hopes for renewed trust from voters when it is revealed that her husband Sondre (Anders Baasmo) has made a series of lucrative stock deals during her time in office. With accusations of insider trading and conflicts of interest\, Sondre becomes the perfect scapegoat in a high-stakes political circus. To contain the brewing media storm\, Alma and her embattled spin doctor Karianne Moen (Pia Tjelta) orchestrate a bold strategy to protect her and her party’s reputation — whatever it takes. \nDirector Petter Næss and screenwriter Ståle Stein Berg draw inspiration from real-life political scandals — not least the stock trading scandal involving Norway’s former Prime Minister Erna Solberg and her husband\, Sindre Finnes. \nPurchase Tickets
