SUMMARY:THE SOUTHERN CHRONICLES
DESCRIPTION:On March 3\, New York Baltic Film Festival at Scandinavia House presents a screening and director talk on the hit new Lithuanian coming-of-age film\, The Southern Chronicles! Director Ignas Miškinis will be present for a film talk and Q&A about the film exploring a young man’s struggle with love and the future amid a newly independent 1990s Lithuania. \nIn a working-class neighborhood of the Lithuanian city of Siauliai\, a few years after the restoration of the country’s independence\, brawny 17-year-old Rimants (Džiugas Grinys) is on the cusp of adulthood. More interested in playing rugby\, listening to bands and dealing on the black market with his friend Minde than studying at school — much to the disapproval of his parents — Rimants is certain that physical strength and money are the essentials for success in a changing\, competitive society. But when he meets and falls in love with the beautiful\, middle-class Monika\, Rimants is introduced to a new world of literature\, culture and alternative possibilities which he explores with guarded enthusiasm. However\, frustrated by the difficult\, fickle nature of young love and the ever-present obstacles of class\, Rimants eventually casts aside the expectations of others and begins to contemplate a future on his own terms. \nBased on the semi-autobiographical book by Rimantas Kmiti\, The Southern Chronicles (Pietinia kronikas) was awarded Best Baltic Film at Tallinn Black Nights and is a portrait of a ’90s generation with a lot of humor\, music and the special slang of Šiauliai. \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:LOST DANISH TREASURE
DESCRIPTION:On March 4\, join us for a book talk with award-winning Chicago architect Carl J. D’Silva on his new book Lost Danish Treasure\, exploring Danish modernist Finn Juhl’s iconic Chieftan Chair and the mystery behind a long-lost design artifact\, out now from Oro Editions! \nGrowing up\, almost every kid dreams of finding buried treasure. That dream slowly fades with age as they realize that Blackbeard never visited their backyard. For some\, the search for treasure continues in their adult lives in other ways. Metal detectors and shovels may be replaced with online searches and library visits\, but the thrill of the hunt is still alive\, ever driving the quest forward. \nLost Danish Treasure tells the tale of two stories: 1) the history of Finn Juhl’s iconic Chieftain Chair and a long-forgotten painting that preceded it\, and 2) the individual connections to this design by a small group of collector researchers. Although starting in different eras and timelines\, the two accounts start to intertwine over the course of the book\, with the research efforts of today helping to unravel the mysteries of the past. As each chapter unfolds\, more and more clues are revealed that slowly weave the storylines closer together — until the summer of 2021\, when both accounts collided after Lot 242 popped up in an auction house in Chicago. The result of the subsequent analysis sheds new light about the origins and identity of the very first Chieftain Chair. \nThis program is co-presented with the Consulate General of Denmark in New York\, the AIA and the Center for Architecture. \nRegister

SUMMARY:THE DAY ICELAND STOOD STILL
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate International Women’s Day with a March 5 screening of The Day Iceland Stood Still\, with a film talk by director Pamela Hogan! \nWhen 90 percent of the women of Iceland walked off the job and out of their homes one fall morning in 1975 refusing to work\, cook\, or take care of the children\, they brought their country to a standstill and catapulted Iceland to the “best place in the world to be a woman.” Told for the first time by the women themselves\, and laced with playful animation\, The Day Iceland Stood Still  is subversive and unexpectedly funny. “We loved our male chauvinist pigs\,” recalls one of the activists\, “We just wanted to change them a little!” \nFilmed in a collaboration between U.S. director Hogan\, who campaigned as a high school student in the 1970s with her activist mother to pass the Equal Rights Amendment\, and Icelandic producer Hrafnhildur Gunnarsdóttir\, who at the age of seven accompanied her mother to the 1975 strike\, the film features appearances by celebrities such as former Icelandic president Vigdís Finnbogadóttir\, the world’s first democratically elected female head of state\, as well as music by Björk. Released in the lead-up to the strike’s 50th anniversary in 2025\, the film’s message about the collective power of women to transform their society inspires viewers to reimagine the impossible. \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:LIVE JAZZ WITH CECIL AND ARI ALEXANDER
DESCRIPTION:Join us on March 6 for a live jazz performance with Cecil and Ari Alexander! The artists will present a captivating selection of original compositions\, timeless classics\, and Danish folk songs from their album Duos and the upcoming Duos 2. These works are uniquely arranged for voice\, piano\, and various configurations of guitars and music production. \nAri Alexander\, a Danish-American artist\, holds a deep connection to both jazz and singer-songwriter traditions. Her passion for jazz was ignited by her vibrant musical heritage\, which includes her grandmother and great-aunt\, jazz vocalist Teddi King\, while her connection to the northern Danish coastline and nature nurtured her sense of adventure and descriptive storytelling. Ari has performed at renowned venues such as the Copenhagen Jazz Festival and intimate jazz clubs worldwide. She has also had the honor of performing for members of the Danish royal family. \nCecil\, an award-winning jazz guitarist\, was a finalist in the prestigious Herbie Hancock Competition in 2019. Recently signed to Heartcore Records\, a Berlin-based label founded by legendary guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel\, Cecil’s playing has garnered high praise. Rosenwinkel describes Cecil’s artistry as ““…Ideas and chops and sensitivity. Everything we want to hear and everything we want to play. I was an instant fan!” Most recently\, Cecil has joined the touring band of Chief Xian aTunde Adjuah (formerly Christian Scott) where he has had the privilege to tour three different continents and connect with musicians and traditions across a diverse array of cultures.

SUMMARY:DAHOMEY
DESCRIPTION:See the two of the shortlisted finalists for this year’s LUX Audience Awards this season at Scandinavia House! On March 7 we’ll be screening Dahomey\, Mati Diop’s riveting documentary about the 2021 repatriation of royal treasures from the Kingdom of Dahomey to the present-day Republic of Benin. \nIn November 2021\, 26 royal treasures of the Kingdom of Dahomey are about to leave Paris to return to their country of origin\, the present-day Republic of Benin. Along with thousands of others\, these artefacts were plundered by French colonial troops in 1892. But what attitude should the Beninese adopt to their homecoming\, in a country that had to forge ahead in their absence? The debate rages among students at the University of Abomey-Calavi. \n“Open-ended\, fecund with imagination and ideas\, never hectoring or lecturing\, not so much posing questions as asking what questions might be posed: Mati Diop’s film is a marvelous provocation” (Deadline). \nThis event has been organized by the European Parliament in partnership with Scandinavia House.

SUMMARY:DOROGU
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday\, March 9 join us for a screening of the Dorogu trilogy (dir. Jyrki Haapala\, Finland\, 2024)\, the first ever Karelian-language film in cinematic history! Karelia\, a region of northeastern Europe on the border between Finland and Russia\, is a site of incredible geopolitical tension in the era of Russia’s war of aggression. A film talk featuring lead actors Anna Hakkarainen and Minna Karttunen will follow the screening. \nDorogu—On the Mystical Paths of Karelia film trilogy comprises of three Karelian-language short films Veneh\, Lindu and Ilmu. The name of the trilogy\, Dorogu\, means “road\,” and these films take the viewer on a journey of transition. Dorogu depicts the sacred and important rites of passage which hold high significance in the Karelian culture and traditions. The trilogy also documents and exhibits the ancient tradition of reciting lamentations and spells\, which were of great importance when any transitional rituals took place. Nature plays a central role in the films\, almost hypnotically taking viewers on a journey to a mythical landscape. \nVeneh depicts the Karelian lament wedding tradition\, held at the bride’s home. Viewers follow her last day at her family home\, before the groom collects her to bring her away to his family. Lindu concerns Karelian mythology and ritualism related to death. The film follows the journey of a dead man’s soul to his home\, as he is guided by a soul bird. Ilmu explores birth and related Karelian mythology and ritualism.
