SUMMARY:THE HARALD VOETMANN TRILOGY
DESCRIPTION:Join us on October 27 for a book talk with Danish bestselling author Harald Voetmann on his “erudite\, grotesque\, and absurdist trilogy”– Awake\, Sublunar\, and Visions and Temptations –moderated by Morten Høi Jensen. Voetmann’s eye-opening\, visceral works cover mankind’s inhuman will to conquer nature through the eyes of various mystics\, scientists\, and innovators across centuries and landscapes in Europe: a bumbling Roman author and naturalist who perishes in Pompeii; pioneering Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe on the verge of a discovery; and a Benedictine monk on his deathbed. \nIn each novel\, the genius of the protagonists clash with the inevitable prospects of their all-too-average demise\, with their gazes held elsewhere\, be it to the stars or into Hell. Voetmann’s works are a comic delight about a few of history’s greatest minds and the not-so-great human bodies they were housed in. Awake\, Sublunar\, and Visions and Temptations are all out now through New Directions Publishing. \n“Reading Voetmann’s books makes me feel so alive. His voice is like no other\, his hold on his material masterful.” — Olga Ravn\, author of The Employees

SUMMARY:BEING BO WIDERBERG
DESCRIPTION:“An experience brimming with life and colour” (Jan Lumholdt\, Cineuropa) – On October 29\, see Being Bo Widerberg\, Jon Asp and Mattias Nohrborg’s intimate documentary exploring the life and work of the titular iconoclastic Swedish filmmaker. Through a curated mix of archives\, film extracts and personal accounts\, this documentary looks at the man behind the camera and the lasting impact of his art in Sweden and beyond. \nIn the early 1960s\, inspired by the French New Wave\, Swedish director Bo Widerberg (1930-1997) launched a pioneering and idiosyncratic career\, making multilayered films that explored familial and romantic conflicts against backdrops of political and social upheaval. Though best known for the international arthouse sensation Elvira Madigan\, Widerberg’s eclectic body of works includes the protofeminist drama The Baby Carriage\, the semi-autobiographical bildungsroman Raven’s End\, two dramas about the labor movement (Ädalen 31\, set in Sweden\, and Joe Hill\, set in the U.S.\, including Manhattan)\, and even detective thrillers that set the stage for Nordic noir. A continuing influence on the Nordic film scene\, Widerberg’s life and work is ripe for rediscovery. \nThe documentary follows the Malmö-born Widerberg from his early days as a promising 1950s novelist\, going on to become the irascible young critic of contemporary Swedish cinema in the early 1960s\, and then changing focus to his groundbreaking oeuvre and his role in jumpstarting the Swedish “nouvelle vague” in a single year. Casting the filmmaker as a firebrand foil to Ingmar Bergman’s more austere sensibilities\, Being Bo Widerberg reconstructs the trajectory of an artist fueled by passion\, even as his dogged pursuit came at a cost – to his colleagues\, his family\, and himself. \n“Asp and Nohrborg pay proper homage to this complex and daring\, passionate and impulsive filmmaker\, whose creative spirit often went against the tide” (Benoit Pavan\, Cannes Selection Committee) \nRegister \n

SUMMARY:100 LITERS OF GOLD + PANTYHOSE | NORDIC & BALTIC OSCAR CONTENDERS
DESCRIPTION:On November 2\, Scandinavia House presents a special screening featuring two of Finland’s eligible films for the 98th Academy Awards: the summery black comedy 100 Liters of Gold\, Finland’s official entry for Best International Feature Film\, and the Oscar-eligible dramedy short Pantyhose. \n“A dose of charming chaos” – At 3 PM\, director Teemu Nikkiis and producer Jani Pösö will be present for a film talk and Q&A about their box office hit 100 Liters of Gold\, a tribute to the Finnish provincial countryside and to the traditional brew sahti\, the “liquid gold” of Finland. The film follows the middle-aged sisters Taina and Pirkko\, who promised to spend weeks making 100 liters of their famous\, strong self-brewed beer\, sahti\, for a family wedding. When they accidentally polish the brew off themselves\, the sisters must scramble to save the wedding and restore their reputation as the village’s top brewers. \nPantyhose follows a bourgeois couple whose relationship is tested when a small problem—a hole in the wife’s tights—exposes underlying tensions in the moments before they leave for an important gala. Praised as “raw and relatable\,” director Fabian Munsterhjelm’s work takes a trivial snag and transforms it into an unflinching exploration of a relationship spiraling into disaster. \nPurchase Tickets
