SUMMARY:THE FINNISH FRONT LINE | GORDON F. SANDER AND CONSUL GENERAL OF FINLAND JARMO SAREVA
DESCRIPTION:Join us on June 2 for a discussion and presentation on The Finnish Front Line: Kekkonen\, Kennedy\, and Khrushchev’s Cold War Showdown with author Gordon F. Sander and Consul General of Finland Jarmo Sareva! \nThe Finnish Front Line is a historical biography of Urho Kekkonen\, the eighth and longest-serving president of Finland. The most controversial as well as the most misunderstood figure in Finnish history\, Kekkonen governed Finland for 25 years from 1956–81. \nGordon F. Sander focuses on Kekkonen’s pivotal first term as president\, which was bracketed by two crises that together formed the template for both Finland’s relationship with the Soviet Union from 1956 through the fall of the USSR\, and Kekkonen’s own “special” relationship with Moscow: the Night Frost crisis of 1957\, which derived from the Kremlin’s desire to exert greater influence on Finnish politics\, and the Note Crisis of 1961\, which coincided with the great Berlin crisis of 1961\, and occurred when Moscow suddenly invoked the clause in the 1948 Finnish-Soviet treaty that entitled the Kremlin to call for mutual discussions between the Finnish and Soviet militaries and was perceived as a threat to Finnish independence. Thinking this might presage a Soviet invasion of Finland\, a distressed Kekkonen was able to resolve the crisis by flying to Siberia to meet with his erstwhile friend Nikita Khrushchev—who may well have precipitated the crisis in order to insure Kekkonen’s reelection. \nOut now from Cornell University Press\, The Finnish Front Line centers an overlooked chapter of the Cold War as well as a revealing if forgotten chapter of the presidency of John Kennedy and his secret offer to help Kekkonen\, which the latter rejected\, ultimately to avoid making Finland into next front of the Cold War. \nRegister

SUMMARY:THE LOVE THAT REMAINS | NEW NORDIC CINEMA
DESCRIPTION:On June 3\, see Icelandic director Hlynur Pálmason’s tender\, quirky family drama The Love That Remains! \nCharting the gradual evolution of a family in the midst of an irreparable fracture\, The Love That Remains is a poignant\, crisply pointillistic domestic drama that observes life’s changes with humor and whimsy\, set against the majestic\, ever-shifting Icelandic landscape. Visual artist Anna (Saga Garðarsdóttir) and fisherman Magnús (Sverrir Guðnason) were teenage sweethearts but have recently grown apart\, and Magnús has moved out of the house. As long as the newly estranged parents put on a good face\, the children—and their adorable sheepdog Panda (who won the prestigious Palme Dog award at Cannes)—seem to take the split in stride. Yet as Magnús becomes increasingly alienated from his domestic life\, harsh reality can’t help but bubble to the surface. \nHlynur Pálmason’s follow-up to his austere 19th-century drama Godland is a “constantly surprising” film with an immaculate sense of framing and pacing—and an evocative\, dulcet piano score by Harry Hunt—dotted with idiosyncratic flights of fancy that never detract from the central emotional authenticity. \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:THE JENNY LIND BOWL: A SWEDISH NATIONAL DAY CELEBRATION
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Swedish National Day with us on June 6 with a tasting\, design and learning event based on the legendary Jenny Lind bowl! In this event with AO Glass\, Björk Cafe & Bistro and BonBon Candy\, participants will learn the history behind the design work inspired by “The Swedish Nightingale\,” one of the most famous opera singers of the 19th century. The event will also feature a performance by soprano Sara Beth Pearson of Jenny Lind’s signature aria “Casta Diva\,” and will be accompanied by Swedish drinks\, snacks and treats from Björk and BonBon. \nAll ticketholders will receive their own AO Glass bowl (retail $45)\, with a special engraving marking the day! \nWhen Rich Arentzen & Tove Ohlander at AO Glass purchased their giant hydraulic press from Fenton Glass Factory in West Virginia\, they were given an old metal mold to practice their technique of pressed glass. Unknowingly\, they had stumbled across a piece of Swedish-American operatic history—after discovering the opera singer’s name etched onto the mold\, they discovered that it had been created in the 1940s in her audience. Since then\, they went on to launch their own line of glass bowls designed on the historic mold. \nThis event will share the history and design work behind creating the bowls\, bringing together glass\, food\, music\, history\, and Swedish culture. It will also honor the significance of this year’s Swedish National Day\, as Sweden celebrates 250 years of American independence and the deep\, enduring ties between Sweden and the United States—including those of the famed “Swedish Nightingale\,” whose 1850-52 tour of America launched her worldwide fame while introducing Nordic music traditions to the U.S. and shaping the future of American entertainment. \nTreats will include food and drinks from Björk and treats from BonBon—New York’s own Swedish candy maker\, who will introduce two new Moomin candy variations! The event will also highlight how Swedish candy and Swedish glass are part of the same larger story: traditions that continue to evolve\, travel\, and find new audiences. \nPurchase Tickets
