SUMMARY:Diana’s Wedding — New Nordic Virtual Cinema Week 10
DESCRIPTION:FRI—April 30 through THU—May 6\nFilm tickets $13 ($8 ASF Members)\n**ASF Members will receive their discount by logging in to Elevent using the email address associated with their member account.** \nNew Nordic Cinema at Scandinavia House returns in a virtual format! Celebrate contemporary Nordic filmmaking with us from home by catching some of the best new films in weekend sessions of contemporary feature films and documentaries. The ninth session of the series from April 30 – May 6 features the film Diana’s Wedding (Norway\, 2020; dir. Charlotte Blom). \nOn July 29\, 1981\, Lady Diana Spencer is marrying Prince Charles in the majestic St. Paul’s Cathedral in London. And on that same day\, another celebration is taking place in the canteen of a Norwegian small-town factory: the wedding party of Liv and Terje\, attended by their newborn daughter Diana. While less glamorous than those of the royal counterpart\, the wedding and its following years are indisputably more fun — for all but the young Diana\, who sees it as a rollercoaster filled with chaos\, inflicted by the worst parents in the world. And on the eve of her own wedding 30 years later\, they still seem miles away from a decent job\, constantly fighting yet somehow still in love. But does Diana understand what relationships — and love itself — are really all about? (90 min. In Norwegian with English subtitles.) \n”An absolutely gorgeous\, bittersweet tribute to love”—Yuan & Andreas Rothbauer (co-managing directors\, Picture Tree International) \nFestival films will be available to ticket holders all over the U.S. Each session is limited to 250 tickets in an effort to preserve the intimate and communal experience.

SUMMARY:Virtual Panel — The Copenhagen Trilogy by Tove Ditlevsen
DESCRIPTION:TUE—January 26—7 PM \nREGISTER \nAmerican-Scandinavian Foundation invites you to a virtual panel discussion on Tove Ditlevsen’s The Copenhagen Trilogy\, in celebration of its publication in English translation by Tiina Nunnally and Michael Favala Goldman beginning January 26. In this event\, translator Michael Favala Goldman and authors Morten Høi Jensen (A Difficult Death)\, Rachel Kushner (The Mars Room)\, and Ben Lerner (The Topeka School) will discuss this courageous and honest trilogy from literary icon Tove Ditlevsen\, a pioneer in the field of genre-bending confessional writing\, explores themes of family\, sex\, motherhood\, abortion\, addiction\, and being an artist. \nTove Ditlevsen is today celebrated as one of the most important and unique voices in 20th-century Danish literature. Born in a working-class neighborhood in Copenhagen in 1917\, Ditlevsen became famous for her poetry while still a teenager\, and went on to write novels\, stories and memoirs before committing suicide in 1976. Having been dismissed by the critical establishment in her lifetime as a working-class\, female writer\, she is now being rediscovered and championed as one of Denmark’s most important modern authors\, with “Tove fever” gripping readers\, and  The Copenhagen Trilogy (1969–71) is her acknowledged masterpiece. \nChildhood tells the story of a misfit child’s single-minded determination to become a poet; Youth describes her early experiences of sex\, work\, and independence. Dependency picks up the story as the narrator embarks on the first of her four marriages and goes on to describe her horrible descent into drug addiction\, enabled by her sinister\, gaslighting doctor-husband. Throughout\, the narrator grapples with the tension between her vocation as a writer and her competing roles as daughter\, wife\, mother\, and drug addict\, and she writes about female experience and identity in a way that feels very fresh and pertinent to today’s discussions around feminism. \nDitlevsen’s trilogy is remarkable for its intensity and its immersive depiction of a world of complex female friendships\, family and growing up―in this sense\, it’s Copenhagen’s answer to Elena Ferrante’s Neapolitan Novels. She can also be seen as a spiritual forerunner of confessional writers like Karl Ove Knausgaard\, Annie Ernaux\, Rachel Cusk and Deborah Levy. Her trilogy is drawn from her own experiences but reads like the most compelling kind of fiction\, and has been hailed as “admirable and shocking” (Margaret Quamme\, Booklist)\, and “mordant\, vibrantly confessional…a masterpiece” (Liz Jensen\, The Guardian) \nThe panel will take place as a Zoom webinar; questions can be shared in the chat or emailed in advance to info@amscan.org. \nThe Copenhagen Trilogy is out beginning January 26\, 2021 from Farrar\, Straus and Giroux. Learn more about the book and see how to purchase by clicking here. \nSupport has been provided by the Consulate General of Denmark in New York. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

She has long been celebrated at the Children’s Center\, including in the 2011 exhibition A Child’s Adventure in the Swedish Countryside: A Storybook Installation. \nIn today’s event\, Ingrid Kullberg-Bendz will introduce her work with examples of illustrations\, followed by a virtual art workshop based on Beskow’s literature! \nThe video will premiere at 11 AM ET on May 1 on this page and via YouTube and Facebook; links to set reminders to watch will be added here closer to the date\, or stream directly on this page starting then through Saturday\, May 8. \n
