SUMMARY:KON TIKI
DESCRIPTION:“Seaworthy\, and then some” —on January 7\, see Kon Tiki and help bring our Silver Anniversary Rescreens into 2026! Directed by Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg\, this epic adventure film dramatizes Norwegian anthropologist Thor Heyerdahl’s real-life 1947 expedition across the Pacific on a balsawood raft. \nNorway’s most expensive production to date\, Kon Tiki (Norway\, 2013) was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film at the 85th Academy Awards\, and was screened here at Scandinavia House as a part of our Nordic Oscar Contenders in 2013. Now\, for our 25th anniversary\, we return to Heyerdahl’s (Pål Sverre Hagen) epic gambit to prove that South Americans had settled in the Polynesian islands\, a theory that remains a matter of debate\, and to retrace their steps using only the resources available to potential pre-Columbian settlers. \nThough he himself cannot swim or sail\, he sets out on the treacherous 4\,300-nautical-mile journey across the Pacific from Peru to Polynesia aboard the small raft– the Kon Tiki\, named after the Inca sun god –along with his crew of five men (and a macaw named Lorita). Kon Tiki takes us through the exploits of Heyerdahl and the embattled crew as they embark on their three-month sail equipped with only a radio– facing down tidal waves\, sharks\, and demons of the deep. \n“A ravishingly photographed\, old-fashioned man-against-the-elements epic propelled by human-scaled heroics.” (RogerEbert.com) \n“A rousing and thoroughly enjoyable Old Hollywood-style adventure…” (NPR) \nPurchase tickets \nThis program has been supported by the Monika and Charles Heimbold Fund for Exhibitions and Programs. \n

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT — MR. NOBODY AGAINST PUTIN + EXTREMIST | NORDIC & BALTIC OSCAR CONTENDERS
DESCRIPTION:*This event is now sold out.* \nOn January 9\, Scandinavia House presents a special double screening featuring two eligible films for the 98th Academy Awards: the poignant first-hand documentary Mr. Nobody Against Putin\, Denmark’s official entry for Best International Feature Film\, and the Oscar-eligible animated short Extremist (Latvia)\, followed by director talks by Pasha Talankin and David Borenstein. \nMr. Nobody Against Putin\nDir. Pavel Talankin & David Borenstein | Denmark & Czech Republic\, 2025 | 90 min\nIn Russian with English subtitles \n“A must-watch\, indelible document of ideological warfare”—Pasha Talankin is an unlikely hero: a beloved Russian primary school teacher\, known as a mentor and prankster who offers students a safe haven in his office. After Russia invades Ukraine\, Pasha’s role in the school changes dramatically as he is reluctantly drawn into Putin’s propaganda machine. Forced to promote state-sanctioned messages and horrified by the militarization of his school and community\, he wrestles with guilt and a sense of powerlessness\, leading him to become an international whistleblower. \nAs the school’s videographer\, Pasha documents intimate and revealing footage of Putin’s regime\, capturing the rise of militarized children’s groups\, repressive laws\, fervent nationalism\, and the recruitment of graduating students to fight in the war. When he learns his own life may be at risk\, Pasha is forced to plan a dangerous escape from Russia. \nThe winner of the World Cinema Documentary Special Jury Award at Sundance\, this uniquely collaborative film is as captivating and joyful as it is eye-opening and sobering. Mr. Nobody Against Putin showcases rare footage that reveals the profound impact of Putin’s regime on the lives of everyday Russians\, particularly its children. \nЭкстремистка / Extremist\nDir. Aleksandr Molochnikov | Latvia\, 2025 | 17 min\nIn Estonian with English subtitles \nInspired by the real-life case of Aleksandra Skochilenko\, Extremist follows a young Russian artist who makes an anti-war statement by swapping food labels with pacifist messages in a Moscow supermarket\, leading to her arrest and the threat of a 10-year prison sentence. The film reimagines the so-called crime that made Skochilenko famous\, an avatar for both the cruelty of Putin’s system\, and the bravery of the few who would risk their fates and freedom to oppose it. \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:FOLKTALES | NORDIC & BALTIC OSCAR CONTENDERS
DESCRIPTION:On January 10\, Scandinavia House presents a special screening and film talk of a Norwegian qualifier for Best Documentary Feature Film at the 98th Academy Awards: the tender\, deeply affecting documentary Folktales\, followed by a film talk by Oscar®-nominated filmmakers Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady! In this life-affirming masterpiece\, teenagers converge at a traditional folk high school in Arctic Norway where they must rely on only themselves\, one another\, and a loyal pack of sled dogs as they all grow in unexpected directions. \nIn Norse mythology\, the three “Norns” are powerful deities who weave the threads of fate and shape humans’ futures. Today\, Pasvik Folk High School in northern Norway aims to produce a similar life-changing effect on its students. Folktales tells the timely and heartwarming story of teenagers who choose to spend an unconventional “gap year” learning to dog sled and survive the Arctic wilderness\, in hopes of finding connection and meaning in the modern world. Guided by patient teachers and a yard full of heroic Alaskan huskies\, they discover their own potential and develop deep relationships with the land\, animals and humans around them. Through intimate verité storytelling and exhilarating cinematography\, Ewing and Grady examine humans on the cusp of adulthood\, finding themselves at the edge of the world. \nRegister \n
