SUMMARY:HAMMARSKJÖLD - FIGHT FOR PEACE
DESCRIPTION:“A stylish historical lesson and an homage (ScreenAnarchy)” — Iconic actor Mikael Persbrandt (The Kingdom Exodus) stars in the gripping true story of the man John F. Kennedy once called “the greatest statesman of our century\,” Dag Hammarskjöld. \nNew York City\, 1961. At the peak of the Cold War\, the charismatic diplomat and economist Dag Hammarskjöld has reached the pinnacle of his power\, serving in his seventh year as Secretary-General of the United Nations. During the process of decolonization\, he takes it upon himself to bring peace to the African countries\, thwarting plans to further exploit resources of both powerful entrepreneurs and world leaders. Meanwhile\, a visit from his old friend Peter turns his life upside down\, and Dag begins questioning his unprecedented devotion and dedication to his job and vision. But when UN peacekeepers are killed in open battle in the Congo\, the Secretary-General sees no other way than to impose peace by new measures\, leading the UN troops on their first war mission. As he boards a a plane to negotiate a case-fire\, Hammarskjöld is aware that enemies are plotting against him… \nBased on historical facts and including the results of the most recent investigations\, this political thriller puts one of mankind’s most respected diplomats into the limelight (dir. Per Fly\, Sweden\, 2023). \n“A measured\, respectful drama…there is a crisp elegance to the storytelling that seeks to match Hammarskjold’s personality” (Allan Hunter\, Screendaily)

SUMMARY:AURORA | ESTONIAN CULTURAL DAYS
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Estonian Cultural Days on April 6 with a screening of the suspenseful new love story Aurora! Director Rain Tolk will be present for a film talk and Q&A following the screening. \nAurora (Maarja Johanna Mägi)\, the daughter of the religious leader Valdek\, enters into a secret extramarital affair with Lenny (Jörgen Liik)\, which ultimately ends with a discovery that collapses her world. Years later\, at a family wedding anniversary celebration with her husband Joonas\, Aurora receives a message that rips open old wounds; which doesn’t go unnoticed by Joonas. As Aurora strives to present a celebration of family values\, an unexpected visitor arrives. As secrets come to light\, the seemingly harmonious family’s facade shows its cracks\, and she must make a difficult decision. \nAurora shows love as a tragic chasm between uncontrollable explosion of desire and love as a earthly\, self-conscious decision. (Dir. Rain Tolk & Andres Maimik\, Estonia\, 2025)
