SUMMARY:A Writer Named Tove
DESCRIPTION:From April 15 through 24\, see an animated documentary based on the life of acclaimed Danish author Tove Ditlevsen\, A Writer Named Tove /Tove i stykke\, screening virtually from Scandinavia House Online! The film will include a virtual introduction by author and translator Michael Favala. \n“I am a poor human. A miserable human. A completely depraved human. I am sleepless as an owl\, ugly as a witch\, and white wine runs through my veins instead of blood. Furthermore\, I am about to sh** myself to death\,” author Tove Ditlevsen wrote following a break-up with her last husband in 1973. Translated and published in over 20 countries\, and the recipient of several literary prizes including the Golden Laurels in 1956\, Tove lived a sort of double life: while Tove Ditlevsen the human was falling apart\, Tove Ditlevsen the writer would sit in “The Oval Room” to analyze and describe her life. A Writer Named Tove asks the question: did Tove live her life to actually live it\, or to write about it? Directed by Sami Saif; recipient of awards including Best Short Film\, Robert Award 2020 (Denmark\, 2020. 38 min. In Danish with English subtitles) \nScreenings will take place April 15-24\, and will be available for viewing on a virtual cinema screening platform throughout this period. To download viewing instructions and an FAQ\, please click here. \n \nAbout the Speaker\nMichael Favala Goldman is a translator of Danish literature\, a poet\, educator\, and jazz clarinetist. He has translated 17 books of Danish poetry and prose\, including Dependency\, book three of The Copenhagen Trilogy by Tove Ditlevsen\, which was selected among New York Times’ Ten Best Books of 2021. His third book of poetry\, Small Sovereign was awarded a Best Poetry Book of 2021. He lives in Northampton\, MA\, where he has been running bi-monthly poetry critique groups since 2018.

SUMMARY:Hatching
DESCRIPTION:On April 20\, see an advance screening of the new Finnish thriller Hatching at Scandinavia House! A fascinating portrait of the nature of maternal instinct\, Hatching opens theatrically in New York on April 29 and has been acclaimed as “a wild and weird ride; a cult classic in the making” (San Jose Mercury News) and “a knotty delight” (The Film Stage). A pre-recorded interview with director Hanna Bergholm will follow the screening. \nTwelve-year-old gymnast Tinja (Siiri Solalinna) is desperate to please her image-obsessed mother\, whose popular blog ‘Lovely Everyday Life’ presents their family’s idyllic existence as manicured suburban perfection. One day\, after finding a wounded bird in the woods\, Tinja brings its strange egg home\, nestles it in her bed\, and nurtures it until it hatches. The creature that emerges becomes her closest friend and a living nightmare\, plunging Tinja beneath the impeccable veneer into a twisted reality that her mother refuses to see. As Tinja battles to come to terms with the genuine emotional bond with her grotesque and bloodthirsty new found family\, she must also contend with the fraying connection to her own demanding mother (Finland\, 2022. 87 min. In Finnish with English subtitles.) \nOfficial selection 2022 at the Sundance Film Festival; “part social commentary\, part creature-feature\, Finnish thriller Hatching succeeds in large part because it commits so diligently to its conceit\, as out there as it is” (Third Coast Review) \nThis screening will take place in Victor Borge Hall; attendees are required to follow all Scandinavia House safety protocols\, including wearing masks during the program and observing social distancing rules in signage. Please read our full safety protocols here. \n \nSpecial thanks to IFC Films. \nAbout the Director\nHanna Bergholm is a Finnish film director. She has graduated in 2009 from the University of Art and Design Helsinki with MA in Film Directing. She has directed several internationally awarded short films and also TV drama series. Her latest short horror film Puppet Master has been selected to several international film festivals including Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal 2018\, Fantastic Fest in Austin 2018\, and also to the MoMA Museum of Modern Art New York 2019. Hatching is her first feature film.

SUMMARY:Music on Park Avenue with Per Tengstrand & Opus - Tchaikovsky!
DESCRIPTION:Music on Park Avenue is back! The popular series hosted by Scandinavia House and Per Tengstrand welcomes its audience back to Victor Borge Hall beginning in the fall of 2021. Beginning in February 2022\, the chamber music group Opus @ Princeton University will return for the final three concerts of the season\, continuing their popular performances with Tengstrand of piano concertos in chamber settings as well as chamber music works.  \nIn tonight’s performance\, Tengstrand and Opus will perform the concerto of concertos: the iconic beginning of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s “Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-flat Minor\, Op. 23\,” one of the most popular tunes ever written. The musicians will perform Tchaikovsky’s entire first concerto from beginning to end\, as well as a smorgasbord of chamber music pieces from Per Tengstrand and Opus. \nTickets to this event must be purchased in advance online at the link above; concerts will take place in Victor Borge Hall.

He has been described by The Washington Post as “technically resplendent\, powerful\, intuitively secure\,” and by The New York Times as “a superb Swedish pianist” whose recital “was rewarding\, both for its unusual programming and for his eloquent\, technically polished performances.”Tengstrand is the subject of the acclaimed Swedish documentary The Soloist\, directed by Magnus Gertten and Stefan Berg (Sweden\, 2003)\, which was featured at the International Festival of Cinema and Technology in New York. \nIn 2005 he was decorated by King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden with the “Litteris et Artibus” Medal for outstanding service to the arts. During the pandemic\, Per started making music documentaries which were viewed and appreciated by people all over the world. As this line of work will continue\, the documentary Beethoven and the Freedom of the Will is planned to have its world premiere at Scandinavia House in 2022. \nABOUT OPUS\nFounded in 2014 by Edward Leung ’16 and Jisoo Kim ’16\, Opus (formerly Opus 21) is dedicated to bringing an eclectic repertory of chamber music to Princeton University and beyond. Consisting of a select roster of undergraduate pianists and string players\, Opus presents innovative programming\, embracing both traditional and contemporary repertoire. Committed to new music\, members of Opus were invited to perform the North American premiere of composer Sam Wu’s “dolphin song” at the 2015 APAP|NYC\, the world’s largest networking forum and marketplace for performing arts professionals. \nMost recently\, Opus was the featured artist at the Helsingborg Music Festival in Sweden\, giving multiple concerts at prestigious venues. As cultural ambassadors\, Opus strives to broaden the public’s interest in chamber music and collaborate with other peer institutions and conservatories. Upcoming performances feature collaborations Harvard\, Yale and Columbia Universities.

SUMMARY:Nordic Literature in Translation: Damascus\, Atlantis
DESCRIPTION:On April 23\, join us for a Nordic Literature in Translation event with author Marie Silkeberg and translator Kelsi Vanada on Silkeberg’s 2021 book Damascus\, Atlantis\, which was recently longlisted for the 2022 PEN Award for Poetry in Translation. With moderator David Rothenberg\, the publisher of  Terra Nova Press\, they’ll discuss Silkeberg’s poetry collection and Vanada’s translation of her works\, for which Vanada won ASF’s  Nadia Christensen Translation Prize in 2018. \nSilkeberg has been a major voice in Swedish poetry since the early 1990s. In these poems\, translated by Kelsi Vanada and drawn from her two most recent collections\, Atlantis and Till Damaskus (written with Ghayath Almadhoun\, whose poems from the collection were published in English translation as Adrenalin)\, she tackles some of the most wrenching events of recent decades—globalization\, the escalating war in Syria\, and its ongoing aftermath and consequences. The speakers of these poems live in a reality informed by these events and by an older European history. Taking the standpoint of listener and observer forced to confront the horrors in present tense\, the poems question how we share the pain of others\, and how the meeting between different experiences of trauma influences language. The poems are matched with stills from Silkeberg’s poetry films\, putting word and image in dialogue to explore ruins\, cityscapes\, the echoes of history\, all into the depth of language’s power. \nIn today’s event\, Silkeberg and Vanada will read from and discuss the writing\, translation\, and publication with images of this book which has been called “beautiful\, breathtakingly threatening\, cruel as only love can be” (Kristian Lundberg\, Aftonbladet) with Rothenberg. \nNow in its 43rd year\, ASF’s Annual Translation Competition awards prizes for outstanding translations of poetry\, fiction\, drama\, or literary prose written by a 20th- or 21st-century Nordic author. The Nadia Christensen Prize recognizes an outstanding translation of a literary text from a Nordic language into the English. \nThis event will take place as a Zoom webinar; please ask questions in the chat or send them in advance to  info@amscan.org. Registration is required; please sign up at the link above. This conversation will be recorded and available later to stream on our Virtual Programming page and on our YouTube channel. \nAbout the Speakers\nMarie Silkeberg is a poet\, translator\, and poetry filmmaker living in Stockholm.
