SUMMARY:SUMMERLIGHT AND THEN COMES THE NIGHT
DESCRIPTION:“Adalsteins’ eye for detail and the picture’s persuasive sense of place and of community carries us along for the leisurely\, meandering ride” (ScreenDaily). \nOn September 18\, join us for a screening of Summerlight and Then Comes the Night\, based on the popular novel by Icelandic author Jón Kalman Stefánsson. *The screening will be followed by a panel with Stefánsson\, film director Elfar Adalsteins\, and actress Anna Maria Pitt\, moderated by author Sigridur Hagalin Bjornsdottir* \nThis little Icelandic village is brimming with stories\, and if you listen closely\, it might tell you a few tales. Perhaps the one about the prominent businessman who dreams in Latin and sacrifices a promising career for astronomy and old books. Or perhaps you’ll hear the one about the policeman’s son\, a sensitive boy who paints and carves birds and dreams of being an artist. Or maybe the one about the wild\, open-air sex with explosive consequences. Or the one about the big rock that can break the finely woven thread running between life and death… Starring Heida Reed\, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson\, Svandis Dora Einarsdottir\, and others\, Summerlight and Then Comes the Night (Sumarljós og svo kemur nóttin\, dir. Elfar Adalsteins\, Iceland/Belgium/Sweden\, 2022) takes us on an intimate journey through a small town with great magic. \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:HACKING HATE | SCREENING & FILM TALK WITH SIMON KLOSE
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Friday\, September 20 for a special screening and film talk on Hacking Hate\, Simon Klose’s kinetic and socially-pressing documentary following award-winning Swedish journalist My Vingren as she goes undercover online to expose a network of neo-Nazis and far-right organizations fostering hate speech and extremism on a global scale. \nSocial media has become a major vehicle for spreading hate speech and a safe harbor for authoritarian agendas. With the U.S. elections on the doorstep\, this screening of Hacking Hate is essential to understand the reasons for the rise of hateful content and disinformation as well as ways to hold social media companies accountable for their role in proliferating hate online. This event is a special impact screening co-hosted by Think-Film Impact Production and includes a post-screening Q&A with director Simon Klose. \nWinner of Best Documentary Feature at Tribeca Film Festival. “Hacking Hate provides a bracing insider’s look at the grossness that proliferates throughout [social media’s] right-wing regions” (Nick Schager\, The Daily Beast). \nRegister
