SUMMARY:TELL EVERYONE | SCREENING & FILM TALK
DESCRIPTION:“A compelling and ultimately compassionate story”—On October 21\, see the striking period drama Tell Everyone! Director Alli Haapasalo and lead actress Marketta Tikkanen will be present for a Q&A following the screening. \nOn a remote island where troublesome women are sent to be forgotten\, an emotionally charged struggle for liberation unfolds in a dazzlingly beautiful and deeply moving historical drama. \n\nThe year is 1898\, and Amanda (Marketta Tikkanen) arrives at an institution on the island of Seili in the Finnish archipelago\, where he has been committed after living a wandering\, decadent life marked by episodes of “madness” once a month caused by severe menstrual pain. Amanda considers her stay on the island strictly temporary\, but as she begins to form bonds with the other women\, doubt takes root. Marketta Tikkanen shines in the lead role\, supported by Alma Pöysti\, Krista Kosonen and Aamu Milonoff\, who together create a richly layered gallery of female fates in a genuinely affecting drama. Alli Haapasalo\, the director of the acclaimed Girl Picture (2022)\,  takes the female body’s built-in violence and imbues that bottled up fury into 19th-century Finland. \n\nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:BUILDING LESS\, TRANSFORMING MORE | ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN PANEL
DESCRIPTION:As the built environment faces growing challenges related to climate change\, resource use\, and urban development\, architecture is increasingly turning its attention toward renovation\, adaptation\, and reuse. Building Less\, Transforming More brings together Nordic and American perspectives on how we can move beyond demolition and replacement toward a more responsible approach to building. \nPresented in conjunction with the Nordic Consulates General in New York and the OBEL Foundation as part of Archtober 2026\, this program explores how existing buildings can become resources for creativity\, cultural continuity\, and long-term value. \nThe afternoon features two connected conversations. Nordic Practice Dialogue brings together architectural voices from Denmark\, Sweden\, Finland\, and Norway to discuss how transformation and reuse are shaping contemporary architectural practice. The second session\, From Practice to Systemic Change\, expands the discussion to examine the broader conditions that influence the future of the built environment — including policy\, investment\, regulation\, and public responsibility. \nRather than focusing solely on sustainability as a technical challenge\, Building Less\, Transforming More explores transformation as an architectural and cultural opportunity: how we can care for what already exists\, create new value from inherited structures\, and imagine cities built around adaptation rather than replacement. \nJoin architects\, designers\, policymakers\, researchers\, and anyone interested in the future of our cities for an afternoon of conversation and exchange during Archtober 2026. \nYou can RSVP HERE.

SUMMARY:SCANDINAVIAN EVERYDAY COOKING | FOOD DEMO & BOOK TALK
DESCRIPTION:Join Scandinavia House and Björk Café & Bistro on October 25 for a food demo and book talk by Nichole Accettola\, the chef behind San Francisco’s beloved Kantine\, to celebrate the release of her book Scandinavian Everyday! Recipes demonstrated from Scandinavian Everyday will include mung bean fritters with goat chese\, harvest braise\, and flødeboller (Danish meringue puffs). \nIn Scandinavian Everyday: Vibrant\, Simple Meals from Northern Europe (Ten Speed Press\, 5/19/2026)\, chef and IACP award-winning author Nichole Accettola presents contemporary Scandinavian cooking as it is truly lived: uncomplicated\, practical\, and deeply connected to the rhythms of daily life. Drawing inspiration from the cuisines of Denmark\, Norway\, and Sweden\, the book offers bright\, pared-back recipes made with whole grains\, vegetables\, and thoughtfully sourced meat and fish\, all adapted for the American kitchen and grocery store. \nAfter spending years working in Italian and French restaurant kitchens\, Accettola made the move to Copenhagen\, Denmark\, ready to embrace a new pace of life. While diving deep into the world of Scandinavian food\, she found that her approach to cooking was entirely reframed. It was no longer about making elaborate dishes to impress restaurant diners\, it was centered around connection: to the seasons\, to the people at the table\, and to the place she was living.  \nMuch like the food served at Kantine\, the recipes in Scandinavian Everyday are rooted in tradition\, but have been updated to reflect the way we cook and eat now. \nPurchase Tickets
