SUMMARY:NO OTHER LAND
DESCRIPTION:On October 14\, see No Other Land\, a Norwegian-produced\, vérité-style documentary by a Palestinian-Israeli collective of four directors. *A film talk and Q&A follows the screening with co-directors Basel Adra\, Yuval Abraham\, and Rachel Szor.* \nBasel Adra\, a Palestinian activist from Masafer Yatta\, has been fighting his community’s mass expulsion by Israeli occupation since childhood. Basel documents the gradual erasure of Masafer Yatta as soldiers destroy the homes of families — the largest single act of forced transfer carried out in the occupied West Bank. After he crosses paths with Yuval Abraham\, a young Israeli journalist\, the two spend half a decade fighting the expulsion. Their complex bond is haunted by the extreme inequality between them: Basel lives under a brutal military occupation\, and Yuval is unrestricted and free. Created during the darkest\, most terrifying times in the region\, No Other Land was filmed by Basel and Yuval alongside two fellow activists — Isareli Rachel Szor and Palestinian Hamdan Ballal. The film is an act of creative resistance to Apartheid and a search for a path towards equality and justice. (Norway & Palestine\, 2024). \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:WHAT KINGDOM | NORDIC BOOK CLUB ONLINE
DESCRIPTION:Read and discuss literature with our Nordic Book Club Online! On October 15 we’ll be discussing Danish author Fine Gråbøl’s What Kingdom\, out now in translation by Martin Aitken from Archipelago. \nFine Gråbøl’s narrator dreams of furniture flickering to life; a chair that greets you; shiny tiles that follow a peculiar grammar; or a bookshelf that can be thrown on like an apron. Living in a temporary psychiatric care unit for young people in Copenhagen\, she practices daily routines that take on the urgency of survival (peeling a carrot\, drinking prune juice\, listening through thin walls)\, and is obsessed with the way items rise up out of their thingness\, assuming personalities and private motives. A thoughtful critique on governmental treatment of the mentally ill\, What Kingdom parses the culpability of psychiatric institutions\, and poignantly explores the smallest meeting points between people — whether a pair of hands dyeing another’s hair\, or removing the acupuncture needles. \nRegister

SUMMARY:HANDLING THE UNDEAD
DESCRIPTION:On October 16\, join us for a screening of the Norwegian zombie thriller Handling the Undead\, a “meditative\, mind-shattering experience that gets under your skin” (Fort Worth Report) adapted from the 2005 novel by Let the Right One In author John Ajvide Lindqvist. \nOn a hot summer day in Oslo\, the dead mysteriously awaken\, and three families are thrown into chaos when their deceased loved ones come back to them. Who are they\, and what do they want? A family is faced with the mother’s reawakening before they have even mourned her death after a car accident; an elderly woman gets the love of her life back the same day she has buried her; a grandfather rescues his grandchild from the gravesite in a desperate attempt to get his daughter out of her depression. Handling the Undead is a drama with elements of horror about three families\, a story about grief and loss\, but also about hope and understanding of what we can’t comprehend or control. \n“Handling the Undead … eschews any of the practical questions\, but with a more humanist intent: to lean single-mindedly into its characters’ emotions — and also its eerie mythical resonance” (Alissa Wilkinson\, New York Times) \nPurchase Tickets
