SUMMARY:VIRTUAL SCREENINGS — NYBFF 2025
DESCRIPTION:The 8th Annual New York Baltic Film Festival (NYBFF) presented by Scandinavia House: The Nordic Center in America returns this November continuing its tradition of bringing the best new films from the Baltic region to New York audiences. This year\, we will be approaching the virtual portion of the festival differently: instead of screening the in-person lineup virtually after their premieres at Scandinavia House\, the 2025 virtual offerings comprise a selection of picks from past festivals\, bringing back Baltic films that have not had a chance to screen in the United States since their release. \nVirtual films in the festival will once again be available to viewers all across the U.S. via the Elevent streaming platform November 10-16. \nVIRTUAL SCHEDULE\nBeginning Monday\, November 10 \nSummer Survivors (dir. Marija Kavtaradze\, Lithuania\, 2018)\nA psychology postgraduate student escorts two patients and their nurse to a seaside psychiatric clinic. Along their journey\, they break through each other’s barriers\, delve into the sources of their various traumas\, and discover the lasting imprints left on their fragile souls. Hailed by Cineuropa as an “exceptionally sensitive and heart-warming film\,” Summer Survivors first premiered at Scandinavia House as a part of the 2019 NYBFF; a new film co-written by Marija Kavtaradze\, The Visitor\, will close out the festival this year. \nRemember to Blink (dir. Austėja Urbaitė\, Lithuania\, 2023)\nThis captivating drama explores cultural conflicts that arise from a French couple’s adoption of two Lithuanian children. The film skillfully unveils the characters’ multifaceted and irrational traits\, weaving a tapestry of relationships that question the boundaries of identity\, and exposes a form of “neo-colonialism” reflecting broader cultural conflicts. Remember to Blink first premiered at Scandinavia House as a part of the 2024 NYBFF; the film’s editor Gabrielė Urbonaitė will return this year to discuss her directorial debut Renovation. \nThe Tree of Eternal Love (dir. Meel Peliale\, Estonia\, 2021)\nThis “sardonic\, charming comedy” follows Kiik\, a young car Estonian mechanic haunted by a recent breakup\, as he sets out to chop down the tree on which he once naively etched the initials of his former girlfriend. Bringing his best friend along for the quirky\, colorful\, and unpredictable road trip\, the two find that the journey to the tree is not as straight as they think. The Tree of Eternal Love first premiered at Scandinavia House as a part of the 2022 NYBFF; the film’s director Meel Peliale will return this year to discuss his new feature Rolling Papers. \nThe Little Comrade (Seltsimees laps\, dir. Moonika Siimets\, Estonia\,  2018)\nPraised as “affecting and richly visualized” (Variety)\, this emotionally resonant historical drama\, set in Stalinist 1950 Estonia\, follows 6-year-old Leelo as she reels from the aftermath of her mother being sent to a Siberian prison camp. Remember to Blink first premiered at Scandinavia House as a part of the 2019 NYBFF; the film’s director Moonika Siimets will return this year to discuss her new absurdist anthology The Black Hole. \nTo Be Continued. (dir. Ivars Seleckis and Armands Zacs\, Latvia\, 2015)\nShot over the course of two years\, this powerful documentary by acclaimed Latvian directors Ivars Seleckis and Armands Zacs intimately profiles seven children in various parts of their home country\, all finding themselves at the intersection of various historical\, social\, and economic processes. To Be Continued\, first premiered at Scandinavia House in 2019; the directors’ follow-up film\, To Be Continued: Teenhood\, will be screening in person as a part of this year’s lineup. \nThe Mutiny (dir. Andrejs Ēķis\, Latvia\, 2024) *North American Premiere*\nThis gripping historical miniseries follows a Soviet officer (Dainis Grube)’s struggle against the authorities in 1975 Riga that leads to a mutiny on the Soviet warship Storozhevoy. *All episodes will be available to stream following the in-person premiere of the first four episodes at Scandinavia House on November 7.* \nOleg (dir: Juris Kursietis\, Latvia/Belgium/Lithuania/France\, 2019)\nThis harrowing drama follows Oleg\, a young Russian-speaking butcher from Latvia who travels to Brussels in search of better wage\, where a series of misfortunes lead him to fall under the sway of a charismatic Polish criminal. “Gritty and uncompromising\,” the film highlights the perilous situation that migrant workers and stateless citizens can quickly find themselves in as industrious criminals fill in the social systems’ gaps. Oleg first premiered at Scandinavia House as a part of the 2019 NYBFF; director Juris Kursietis’ new film\, The Exalted\, will be screening in person as a part of this year’s lineup.

SUMMARY:HUNTERS ON A WHITE FIELD
DESCRIPTION:“[An] intimate and gorgeous study of unchecked and wild male ego”—on November 12\, see the Swedish suspense drama Hunters on a White Field in New Nordic Cinema! Director Sarah Gyllenstierna will be present for a film talk and a Q&A. \nThree men—Alex\, Henrik\, and Gregor—take an extended weekend hunting trip\, where an initial spell of hunting success sharpens their instincts and stirs a sense of rivalry. But one day all animals vanish without a trace. As the forest turns eerily quiet\, the men become obsessed with the idea that the hunt must continue… Based on the bestselling 1986 novel by Mats Wägeus. (Jakt på ett vitt fält\, dir. Sarah Gyllenstierna\, Sweden 2023) \n“Sarah Gyllenstierna navigates the film’s journey from its comfortable setup into much darker\, suspenseful terrain\, building a provocative\, foreboding atmosphere where anything can happen” (ScreenAnarchy) \nPhoto by Josua Enblom

SUMMARY:EAGLES OF THE REPUBLIC | NORDIC & BALTIC OSCAR CONTENDERS
DESCRIPTION:“A compelling\, cleverly constructed comedy-thriller with plenty on its mind”—on November 14\, Scandinavia House presents a special screening of Sweden’s official entry for Best International Feature Film at the 98th Academy Awards: the political thriller Eagles of the Republic. \nIn this Cannes-selected culmination of Tarik Saleh’s Cairo trilogy of films about Egyptian institutional corruption (The Nile Hilton Incident\, 2017; Boy From Heaven\, 2022)\, what begins as a rollicking satire on celebrity worship and filmmaking’s ideological obligations soon knife-twists into a violent political-conspiracy thriller. \nVeteran movie star George Fahmy (Fares Fares) thinks he can get away with anything. The film censorship board can’t dilute his horny blockbusters like The First Egyptian on the Moon; while offscreen\, separated from his wife and son\, he savors public adulation and secular pleasures with his much younger mistress. Even when government goons coerce the “Pharaoh of the Screen” to star in a glowing propaganda biopic as real-life president Abdel Fattah El-Sisi\, George is confident he can control the narrative. But once Sisi’s top officials have him in their rotten\, bureaucratic beaks and talons\, George begins to realize that an authoritarian leader might be less dangerous than the vicious schemes of those hovering in the background.(Sweden/France/Denmark/Finland/Germany\, 2025 \nRegister

SUMMARY:MY SEVEN MOTHERS WITH WITH PERNILLE IPSEN
DESCRIPTION:On November 15\, join us for a talk on the memoir My Seven Mothers: Making a Family in the Danish Women’s Movement with Pernille Ipsen! The distinguished author and historian will delve into her collective biography of the seven women who raised her and their lives and politics in the women’s and lesbian movements in Copenhagen in the 1970s\, out now from University of Minnesota Press. \nA chronicle of gender\, sexuality\, and feminism as it was constructed\, contested\, and lived\, My Seven Mothers is an eye-opening account of the challenges and possibilities connected with liberation and radical social change during the 1970s. In this time of fierce struggles over family\, sexuality\, and child-rearing\, it reminds us that new worlds are always possible. \n“Pernille Ipsen weaves together a beautifully written account of the lives and choices of the seven women who became her mothers in a time of profound social upheaval. Compulsively readable and historically insightful\, My Seven Mothers reveals the spirit\, courage\, and tenacity required of the women who paved the way for second-wave feminist organizing in Denmark.” —Birgitte Søland\, author of Becoming Modern: Young Women and the Reconstruction of Womanhood in the 1920s \n
