SUMMARY:NORDIC BOOK CLUB ONLINE | WHAT GOOD DOES IT DO...
DESCRIPTION:Read and discuss literature with our Nordic Book Club Online! Nordic Book Club meets monthly via Zoom to discuss contemporary literature in translation. On March 10\, 2026\, in coordination with our film festival West Nordic Film Days\, we’ll be discussing Faroese author and Nordic Council Literature Prize nominee Kim Simonsen’s poetry collection What good does it do for a person to wake up one morning this side of the new millennium\, in translation by Randi Ward. \nThe rhetorical title of this collection posits the crisis that is underway. Simonsen asks: as a species among species\, all composed of the matter of the universe\, how has our compulsion to classify everything hierarchically estranged us from ourselves\, each other\, and Earth’s ecosystems? Simonsen challenges our anthropocentric pursuit of knowledge\, exploring humankind’s relationship with itself as an element of the natural world.  follows the struggles of its narrator as he reckons with intensifying estrangement from his fellow organisms\, gradually turning to the greater kinship of matter to find continuity\, connection\, and solace. \nNordic Council Literature Prize nominee Kim Simonsen introduces a new poetics to Faroese literature rooted in natural history\, philosophy\, and the materiality of all things in a collection hailed as “luminous and arresting\, like the islands themselves” (Martin Aitken). The translation by Randi Ward was a winner of the ASF Nadia Christensen Translation Prize. \n\nWhat good does it do for a person to wake up one morning this side of the new millennium is available in paperback and e-book from Deep Vellum and from Bookshop.org and other retailers. \nRegister

SUMMARY:LIONESS
DESCRIPTION:“An affecting\, spiky melodrama” (Lou Thomas\, BFI) – on March 11\, see Lioness\, Estonian director Liina Triškina-Vanhatalo’s powerful psychological thriller exploring strength\, family\, and the courage (or madness) it takes to protect those we love. \nHelena (Katariina Unt) is a steely paramedic in Tallinn known for her calmness and ability to handle crises. Off the clock\, though\, she struggles to connect emotionally with her volatile teenage daughter Stefi (Teele Piibemann)\, who has become rebellious and self-destructive. In a disastrous downward spiral\, she skips school and finds herself wrapped up in a violent youth gang under the thrall of the charismatic Mariann (Elina Masing). One day\, she disappears completely and her mother spends countless hours scouring the entire city for her. But when she learns that Stefi has ended up in the hospital after an overdose\, a desperate and drastic plan forms in Helena’s mind to get her daughter back on her feet. \nPicking up the Special Jury Award at last year’s Warsaw International Film Festival\, Lioness delves into the collapsing boundary between Helena’s desperate imagination and Stefi’s reality\, forcing them both to confront the blurred line between love\, control\, and delusion. \nPurchase Tickets \n
