SUMMARY:THE HOME OF THE DROWNED | WITH ELIN ANNA LABBA
DESCRIPTION:Join us on September 15 for a discussion and presentation on The Home of the Drowned! Author Elin Anna Labba will be joined by a moderator to delve into her debut novel\, a haunting\, multigenerational saga of a family of Sámi women fighting the devastation of their way of life. \nNothing is true\, and everything is true; poetry will never hurt more than what has happened. Every summer\, Iŋgá\, her mother Rávdná\, and her Aunt Ánne travel west to their village on the lake. But the summer Iŋgá is thirteen\, they arrive to find their home and possessions have disappeared under water\, the land flooded by a dam built to supply hydropower to a society that has continually stolen from them. \nThe Home of the Drowned follows these women’s fortunes over forty years—from 1942 to 1982—as the water their people have lived near for centuries is transformed into a menacing force that threatens all they hold dear. Defying the authorities\, Rávdná decides to build a proper house on the lake to replace what was lost\, becoming an unlikely activist even as her actions isolate her family from the rest of the community. Meanwhile\, Ánne’s health is in decline\, and a concerned Iŋgá merely longs to live like everyone else—an impossible wish when the Swedish state is relentlessly drowning her world. \nOut now from University of Minnesota Press\, The Home of the Drowned “paints a stunning portrait of the tenacity of an Indigenous people jarred\, displaced\, and neglected by so-called progress” (Jon Hickey\, author of Big Chief). Drawing on her own family’s history of forced relocation and violent colonial dispossession\, Elin Anna Labba’s debut novel brings Sámi history to the fore through this intimate story. In poetic prose deftly translated by Elizabeth Clark Wessel\, she reveals connections between land\, water\, and people that hauntingly reverberate with the question: what is it that makes a home? \nRegister

SUMMARY:THE QUIET BEEKEEPER | NEW NORDIC CINEMA
DESCRIPTION:“A warmly melancholic\, affirmative slice of imperfect humanity”—On September 16\, see the poignant\, meditative family drama The Quiet Beekeeper! Winner of the Audience Award at the 2026 Göteborg Film Festival\, The Quiet Beekeeper is a quiet and deeply affecting drama inspired by real-life events exploring love\, nature\, and the cycles of life. \n\nSet in the small\, rustic town of Åmotfors in the Swedish region of Värmland\, close to the Norwegian border\, the film follows father Olof and daughter Lise who long for connection and carry shared grief in different ways. Like his forefathers\, beekeeper Olof (a stellar Adam Lundgren) keeps bees and drives a snowplough in wintertime to keep the bills paid for his family\, consisting of his mother\, sister and his prickly teenage daughter Lise. \nWith a delicate touch\, the film deftly captures life in the countryside\, portraying both the everyday and the existential\, from the humming of beehives to a relationship on the verge of collapse. Directed and co-written by Marcus Carlsson\, who co-wrote the script with star Adam Lundgren\, and featuring an atmospheric score by Janne Schaffer\, this is a sensitive story of loss\, silence\, longing for closeness\, hope and facing our fears. \n\nPurchase Tickets
