SUMMARY:RENOVATION
DESCRIPTION:The 8th Annual New York Baltic Film Festival (NYBFF) presented by Scandinavia House: The Nordic Center in America returns this November with the best new films from the Baltic region! On November 6\, see the New York Premiere of the sharp\, wistful relationship drama Renovation / Renovacija\, (dir. Gabrielė Urbonaitė\, Lithuania/Latvia/Belgium\, 2025).  \nThe feature directorial debut of Lithuanian writer-director Gabriele Urbonaite follows 29-year-old perfectionist Ilona (Žygimantė Elena Jakštaitė) as she faces mounting pressure to feel successful and settled by age 30. A work-from home journalist in Vilnius\, things are getting serious with her boyfriend boyfriend Matas (Šarūnas Zenkevičius). And they’ve just moved into what seems like an idyllic apartment — until a massive\, noisy bout of renovation work begins. In the midst of repairs to the building’s Soviet-era façade\, cracks reveal themselves in Ilona’s seemingly perfect life\, particularly as she hits it off with Ukrainian construction worker Oleg (Roman Lutskyi). Their connection leads to new discoveries —after spontaneously telling him she’s a poet\, she actually begins to write poetry. But it also deepens her uncertainty. Does she really want to settle down and start a family? (90 min. In Lithuanian with English subtitles) \nA “satisfying relationship dramedy that jumps into the nuances of having one’s status quo shaken up\,” Renovation shows millennials exposed to endless possibilities and the pressure to perform\, while wrestling with lingering legacy of Russian oppression and the nearby war in Ukraine. \n“Renovation is a curious\, delightful beast” – Olivia Popp\, Cineuropa \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:BECOMING ROOSI
DESCRIPTION:The 8th Annual New York Baltic Film Festival (NYBFF) presented by Scandinavia House: The Nordic Center in America returns this November with the best new films from the Baltic region! On November 8\, see the deep\, funny and provocative story of a girl navigating adolescence and climate crisis in the documentary Becoming Roosi (Siit ta tuleb\, Roosi\, dir. Margit Lillak\, Estonia/Germany\, 2025).  \nFilmed over a 10-year period\, we first meet Roosi when she is eight years old\, confronting the unusual conventions of her isolated childhood in an Estonian eco-village. Here\, her mother Liina — a dedicated activist — is the frontwoman of the commune. Eight years later\, Roosi finds herself following in her mother’s footsteps. Living far from the eco-village and fully immersed in the demands of cosmopolitan life\, Roosi grapples with climate grief and guilt. With rare intelligence and outspokenness\, she expresses raw truths about her generation’s existential concerns. She also struggles between two extremes: the pressure to inherit her mother’s battle\, and the vital need to find her own identity through art\, through her body\, and through words. As she navigates the uncertain terrain of early adulthood\, Roosi reveals the unexpected layers of growing up in today’s fluid\, globalized world. \nBecoming Roosi weaves together intimate archival moments from a singular childhood with a timeless coming-of-age story. With grace and emotional depth\, this vibrant portrait explores the weight of climate anxiety\, generational rifts and one young woman’s search for identity. (96 min. In Estonian/English with English subtitles) \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:MURMURING HEARTS
DESCRIPTION:The 8th Annual New York Baltic Film Festival (NYBFF) presented by Scandinavia House: The Nordic Center in America returns this November with the best new films from the Baltic region! On November 8\, see the North American Premiere of the powerful and tender documentary Murmuring Hearts (Murmančios Širdys\, dir. Vytautas Puidokas\, Lithuania/France/Norway\, 2024). *This screening will be followed by a talk with film director Vytautas Puidokas.* \nMatas\, a 14-year old foster child\, arrives at a Lithuanian rehab-farm where a group of men are recovering from addiction and aggression. Led by the charismatic Žanas\, a former addict\, the community follows a strict routine—praying\, tending to animals\, and making cheese—all to escape the troubled cycles of the past. As they work to heal from within\, the men must also take responsibility for the boy\, slowly but surely becoming problematic and complicated role models. Struggling with his own demons—abandonment\, violence and loneliness—Matas evokes their own unresolved emotions\, particularly for those who share a similar history. As dynamics shift\, the fractured group slowly works through anger to become  a dysfunctional family\, bound by their shared struggles. Together\, they face the challenge of holding together a community\, clinging to the hope of brighter days ahead. \nThe winner of the Young Europeans Award at International Festival of Audiovisual Programmes (FIPADOC)\, Murmuring Hearts provides a candid glimpse into masculinity\, trauma\, and what it takes to heal.

SUMMARY:THE MUTINY
DESCRIPTION:The 8th Annual New York Baltic Film Festival (NYBFF) presented by Scandinavia House: The Nordic Center in America returns this November with the best new films from the Baltic region! On November 7\, see the New York Premiere of the gripping historical miniseries The Mutiny (Dumpis\, dir. Andrejs Ēķis\, Latvia\, 2025). \n*Tonight’s in-person screening will include the first 4 episodes of the 7-part series; the full series will later be available virtually to all ticketholders. There will be a brief intermission between episodes 2 and 3. The screening will be followed by a film talk with producer Dita Cimermane.* \nBased on the true story that inspired The Hunt for Red October\, The Mutiny is set in 1975 Riga\, where Soviet officer Valery Spagin has just been appointed Captain of the Third Rank of the Soviet naval ship Storozhevoy. He embraces the opportunity to serve his country and vows to uphold its communist ideals. But as Spagin and his family find themselves unwelcome among their new neighbors\, he discovers widespread military abuse of power—forcing him to confront his own belief system. Facing mounting threats from a corrupt government\, Spagin incites a riot aboard the ship\, which soon becomes larger than intended. In fear of international disgrace\, the Soviet authorities take drastic action. \nTold from the perspective of both the Occupier and Occupied\, The Mutiny is a harrowing story of humanity and justice in the twilight of a totalitarian regime. The seven-episode miniseries was showcased at the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival (PÖFF) in the “TV Beats Screening Day” program. It later won Best TV Series at the 2025 Lielais Kristaps Awards\, Latvia’s National Film Awards\, where it received nine nominations.

SUMMARY:THE BLACK HOLE
DESCRIPTION:The 8th Annual New York Baltic Film Festival (NYBFF) presented by Scandinavia House: The Nordic Center in America returns this November with the best new films from the Baltic region! On November 6\, see the New York Premiere of the zany sci-fi parable The Black Hole (Must auk\, dir. Moonika Siimets\, Estonia/Finland\, 2024).  \nThe Black Hole is an absurdist\, genre-blending comedic anthology that follows three interconnected stories in a suburban Estonian apartment complex\, where residents encounter aliens and fantastical beings while grappling with everyday struggles like abuse\, loneliness\, and economic hardship. When a mysterious black hole appears among the lilac bushes of their district\, accompanied by aliens\, a giant spider\, and a shorts-wearing Austrian\, events begin to unfold that challenge the suburban residents’ hopes for a brighter future. \nThe film comprises a triptych following residents through their surreal encounters: Sirje (Anne Reemann) and Maret (Eva Koldits)\, dreaming of finding work abroad\, end up in an extraterrestrial science experiment; Jüri (Ursel Tilk)\, still living with his mother\, falls in love with his lustful neighbour\, Gertrud (Jekaterina Linnamäe); Mariliis (Doris Tislar)\, who dreams of a world without abusive men\, finds shelter at fearless bodybuilder Uma’s (Rea Lest) apartment full of giant spiders. The clever screenplay weaves together cosmic orgasms\, an existential lust for desire\, and ancient culinary wisdom – all inspired by Estonian short stories by Armin Kõomägi and Andrus Kivirähk.

SUMMARY:KNITTING THURSDAYS! | LEARN TO KNIT WITH HILARY SNELL
DESCRIPTION:Learn to knit at Scandinavia House this fall in classes in October and November! \nWhen one thinks of Scandinavia\, one of the first things that comes to mind is the distinctive patterns of knitted sweaters. Knitting has been an essential part of Nordic culture since the early 1500s and people\, sheep and knitting have always been inextricably linked. The craft has been a source of artistic expression while also keeping generations warm during the long\, cold winters. \nKnitting is a symbol of self-sufficiency. Families tended the sheep\, spun the wool from those sheep and used yarn to clothe themselves and their loved ones. They would also sell their work to support their families. Denmark\, the Faroe Islands\, Finland\, Iceland\, Norway\, Sweden and Finland all have rich and varied knitting traditions and continue to express themselves through stunning design and wool work. \nJoin us for small\, two-hour workshops to learn the basics of knitting. In a casual and supportive setting\, you’ll learn how to cast on\, knit\, purl\, and cast off. You’ll leave with your own knitted piece to continue your work at home. Scandinavia House will supply the needles and the yarn. \nDID YOU KNOW? Repetitive motions like knitting\, where your mind becomes fully absorbed in the task\, can lead to increased happiness and decreased stress. \nABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR: \nHilary Snell\, a longtime visitor services staff member of Scandinavia House\, is of English\, Scottish\, and Irish descent\, and loves everything about Nordic culture. She was taught to knit by her grandmother and mother when she was eight years old and took it up again in her late 20s\, and has been knitting ever since. She enjoys sharing her love of the craft and of fiber arts in general. See her work at: https://www.instagram.com/lockwoodknits/ \nRegister

SUMMARY:100 LITERS OF GOLD + PANTYHOSE | NORDIC & BALTIC OSCAR CONTENDERS
DESCRIPTION:On November 2\, Scandinavia House presents a special screening featuring two of Finland’s eligible films for the 98th Academy Awards: the summery black comedy 100 Liters of Gold\, Finland’s official entry for Best International Feature Film\, and the Oscar-eligible dramedy short Pantyhose. \n“A dose of charming chaos” – At 3 PM\, director Teemu Nikkiis and producer Jani Pösö will be present for a film talk and Q&A about their box office hit 100 Liters of Gold\, a tribute to the Finnish provincial countryside and to the traditional brew sahti\, the “liquid gold” of Finland. The film follows the middle-aged sisters Taina and Pirkko\, who promised to spend weeks making 100 liters of their famous\, strong self-brewed beer\, sahti\, for a family wedding. When they accidentally polish the brew off themselves\, the sisters must scramble to save the wedding and restore their reputation as the village’s top brewers. \nPantyhose follows a bourgeois couple whose relationship is tested when a small problem—a hole in the wife’s tights—exposes underlying tensions in the moments before they leave for an important gala. Praised as “raw and relatable\,” director Fabian Munsterhjelm’s work takes a trivial snag and transforms it into an unflinching exploration of a relationship spiraling into disaster. \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:BEING BO WIDERBERG
DESCRIPTION:“An experience brimming with life and colour” (Jan Lumholdt\, Cineuropa) – On October 29\, see Being Bo Widerberg\, Jon Asp and Mattias Nohrborg’s intimate documentary exploring the life and work of the titular iconoclastic Swedish filmmaker. Through a curated mix of archives\, film extracts and personal accounts\, this documentary looks at the man behind the camera and the lasting impact of his art in Sweden and beyond. \nIn the early 1960s\, inspired by the French New Wave\, Swedish director Bo Widerberg (1930-1997) launched a pioneering and idiosyncratic career\, making multilayered films that explored familial and romantic conflicts against backdrops of political and social upheaval. Though best known for the international arthouse sensation Elvira Madigan\, Widerberg’s eclectic body of works includes the protofeminist drama The Baby Carriage\, the semi-autobiographical bildungsroman Raven’s End\, two dramas about the labor movement (Ädalen 31\, set in Sweden\, and Joe Hill\, set in the U.S.\, including Manhattan)\, and even detective thrillers that set the stage for Nordic noir. A continuing influence on the Nordic film scene\, Widerberg’s life and work is ripe for rediscovery. \nThe documentary follows the Malmö-born Widerberg from his early days as a promising 1950s novelist\, going on to become the irascible young critic of contemporary Swedish cinema in the early 1960s\, and then changing focus to his groundbreaking oeuvre and his role in jumpstarting the Swedish “nouvelle vague” in a single year. Casting the filmmaker as a firebrand foil to Ingmar Bergman’s more austere sensibilities\, Being Bo Widerberg reconstructs the trajectory of an artist fueled by passion\, even as his dogged pursuit came at a cost – to his colleagues\, his family\, and himself. \n“Asp and Nohrborg pay proper homage to this complex and daring\, passionate and impulsive filmmaker\, whose creative spirit often went against the tide” (Benoit Pavan\, Cannes Selection Committee) \nRegister \n

SUMMARY:THE HARALD VOETMANN TRILOGY
DESCRIPTION:Join us on October 27 for a book talk with Danish bestselling author Harald Voetmann on his “erudite\, grotesque\, and absurdist trilogy”– Awake\, Sublunar\, and Visions and Temptations –moderated by Morten Høi Jensen. Voetmann’s eye-opening\, visceral works cover mankind’s inhuman will to conquer nature through the eyes of various mystics\, scientists\, and innovators across centuries and landscapes in Europe: a bumbling Roman author and naturalist who perishes in Pompeii; pioneering Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe on the verge of a discovery; and a Benedictine monk on his deathbed. \nIn each novel\, the genius of the protagonists clash with the inevitable prospects of their all-too-average demise\, with their gazes held elsewhere\, be it to the stars or into Hell. Voetmann’s works are a comic delight about a few of history’s greatest minds and the not-so-great human bodies they were housed in. Awake\, Sublunar\, and Visions and Temptations are all out now through New Directions Publishing. \n“Reading Voetmann’s books makes me feel so alive. His voice is like no other\, his hold on his material masterful.” — Olga Ravn\, author of The Employees

SUMMARY:ARVO PÄRT - EVEN IF I LOSE EVERYTHING
DESCRIPTION:On October 25\, see “Even If I Lose Everything\,” Dorian Supin’s third and final documentary about Estonian master composer Arvo Pärt\, with a panel featuring celebrated virtuosos Peter Bouteneff\, David Lang\, and Paavo Järvi to follow! This program takes place alongside celebrations of the composer this season at Carnegie Hall\, including an October 23 performance with the Estonian Festival Orchestra\, and will be conducted in the presence of H.E. Alar Karis\, President of Estonia\, H.E. Heidy Purga\, Estonia’s Minister of Culture\, and H.E. Kristjan Prikk\, Estonia’s Ambassador to the United States. \nPerhaps the most personal installment of Supin’s series\, this intimate portrait steps closer to the man behind the music\, showing his many sides in a domestic setting as a composer\, husband\, father\, and grandfather as he navigates the demands of his legacy. Once known as the avant-garde firebrand driven from his country by Soviet censorship for his radically prayerful melodies\, “Even If I Lose Everything” centers on the gentler rhythms of Pärt’s days back home on the eve of his 80th birthday. \nThe film draws its title – and much of its stories – from flashes of Pärt’s workbooks\, all of which he has kept close through endless personal and political upheavals. Throughout his decades of writing music\, he has filled the workbooks with contemplations expressing his moments of grief and joy\, his discoveries\, worries\, and experiences. The musings and recollections inspired by these notes\, in parallel with glimpses of domesticity\, come together to reveal a composer committed to living a life in accordance with the music he creates: meditative\, emotionally evocative\, spacious\, and grounded in the realm of the sacred. \nPärt’s music has insinuated itself deep into the cultural landscape\, not only as a phenomenon extending far beyond the usual classical listenership. It has enriched countless films and dance compositions\, it has inspired the work of visual artists and architects. And although his musical style is rarely imitated in a direct fashion\, he has influenced contemporary composers in ways that may be less obvious. How does this gentle music make such a broad and deep impact? The panel conversation will draw us deeper into Pärt’s cultural resonance.

SUMMARY:THE DAY ICELAND STOOD STILL (50th Anniversary)
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the 50th anniversary of the historic Women’s Strike with a October 24 screening of The Day Iceland Stood Still\, with a film talk by director Pamela Hogan! \nWhen 90 percent of the women of Iceland walked off the job and out of their homes one fall morning in 1975 refusing to work\, cook\, or take care of the children\, they brought their country to a standstill and catapulted Iceland to the “best place in the world to be a woman.” Told for the first time by the women themselves\, and laced with playful animation\, The Day Iceland Stood Still  is subversive and unexpectedly funny. “We loved our male chauvinist pigs\,” recalls one of the activists\, “We just wanted to change them a little!” \nFilmed in a collaboration between U.S. director Hogan\, who campaigned as a high school student in the 1970s with her activist mother to pass the Equal Rights Amendment\, and Icelandic producer Hrafnhildur Gunnarsdóttir\, who at the age of seven accompanied her mother to the 1975 strike\, the film features appearances by celebrities such as former Icelandic president Vigdís Finnbogadóttir\, the world’s first democratically elected female head of state\, as well as music by Björk. Released in the lead-up to the strike’s 50th anniversary in 2025\, the film’s message about the collective power of women to transform their society inspires viewers to reimagine the impossible.

SUMMARY:BETWEEN LICHEN AND HEAVEN
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening and discussion with ASF Fellow Susanna Monseau and filmmaker Ruth Grimberg on their documentary Between Lichen and Heaven\, exploring the Ahlskog Tannery in Ostrobothnia\, the last reindeer leather tannery in Finland. \nIn the small town of Kronoby\, Finland\, the last reindeer tannery continues a fragile craft that links Sámi herders\, local communities\, and the global fashion industry. As reindeer hides risk becoming waste\, the tannery struggles to survive amid economic pressures\, shifting sustainability laws\, and climate change. Interwoven with the voices of herders and tannery workers\, Between Lichen and Heaven reflects on the precarity of livelihoods where culture\, ecology\, and economy remain inseparably connected. By looking at the tannery’s place in the Finnish fashion supply chain\, the film also explores how global textiles and fashion industry companies in Finland have embedded sustainability as a key value\, and how they work to understand and improve their operations to uphold their responsibility to people and the planet. \n

SUMMARY:KNITTING THURSDAYS! | LEARN TO KNIT WITH HILARY SNELL
DESCRIPTION:Learn to knit at Scandinavia House this fall in classes in October and November! \nWhen one thinks of Scandinavia\, one of the first things that comes to mind is the distinctive patterns of knitted sweaters. Knitting has been an essential part of Nordic culture since the early 1500s and people\, sheep and knitting have always been inextricably linked. The craft has been a source of artistic expression while also keeping generations warm during the long\, cold winters. \nKnitting is a symbol of self-sufficiency. Families tended the sheep\, spun the wool from those sheep and used yarn to clothe themselves and their loved ones. They would also sell their work to support their families. Denmark\, the Faroe Islands\, Finland\, Iceland\, Norway\, Sweden and Finland all have rich and varied knitting traditions and continue to express themselves through stunning design and wool work. \nJoin us for small\, two-hour workshops to learn the basics of knitting. In a casual and supportive setting\, you’ll learn how to cast on\, knit\, purl\, and cast off. You’ll leave with your own knitted piece to continue your work at home. Scandinavia House will supply the needles and the yarn. \nDID YOU KNOW? Repetitive motions like knitting\, where your mind becomes fully absorbed in the task\, can lead to increased happiness and decreased stress. \nABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR: \nHilary Snell\, a longtime visitor services staff member of Scandinavia House\, is of English\, Scottish\, and Irish descent\, and loves everything about Nordic culture. She was taught to knit by her grandmother and mother when she was eight years old and took it up again in her late 20s\, and has been knitting ever since. She enjoys sharing her love of the craft and of fiber arts in general. See her work at: https://www.instagram.com/lockwoodknits/ \nRegister

SUMMARY:101 REYKJAVIK
DESCRIPTION:“A funny\, offbeat romantic comedy” —on October 22\, see 101 Reykjavik to kick off our 25th Anniversary Rescreens! Directed by Baltasar Kormákur (Everest; Touch)\, this deadpan black comedy features the unyielding Icelandic landscape as a backdrop to an unlikely tryst. \nBased on the classic Icelandic novel by Hallgrímur Helgason\, 101 Reykjavík (Iceland\, 2000) was a cultural smash upon its release\, winning the Discovery Award at Toronto International Film Festival\, and was one of the very first films screened here at Scandinavia House. Now\, for our 25th anniversary\, we’re returning to the story of Hlynur (Hilmir Snær Guðnason)\, circling 30 and still living with his parents\, who is wasting life away either in a deadbeat bar or at home downloading porn. He is shocked out of his ennui when his mother’s friend Lola (Victoria Abril) comes to visit\, a flamenco dancer whose enigmatic ways entrance Hylnur. But is Lola’s relationship with Hylnur’s mother all that it seems? \n“Finely acted and shot with a beautiful\, understated cinematic sweep … 101 Reykjavk is a poignant\, endearingly offbeat work.” (Philadelphia Enquirer) \n“A film that’s as outlandish as it is entertaining…” (Film Threat) \nThis program has been supported by the Monika and Charles Heimbold Fund for Exhibitions and Programs. \n

SUMMARY:CAN YOU HEAR ME? THE INVISIBLE BATTLES OF UKRAINIAN MILITARY MEDICS
DESCRIPTION:On October 14\, see the documentary Can You Hear Me? the Invisible Battles of Ukrainian Military Medics\, followed by a discussion with Alexandra Domaradsky (Razom for Ukraine)\, Dr. Anastasiia Vlasenko (the Ukrainian Research Institute at Harvard University)\, and Sebastian Lindstrom (Head of International Cooperation at the Charitable Foundation Repower)\, moderated by award-winning journalist Jane Ferguson. \nFilmmakers Francis Farrell and Olena Zashko followed a group of Ukrainian military medics as they journeyed from the heat of battle in war-torn Ukraine to the serene forests of Sweden for a short mental health retreat. Since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022\, witnessing an endless conveyer belt of severe injuries and deaths has taken a heavy toll on the medics’ mental health. Although crucial to address\, the issue of their psychological well-being is rarely talked about and often overlooked\, leaving them alone in this invisible battle. \nAs they find themselves in a peaceful\, quiet environment in Sweden for the first time since 2022\, the medics have a chance to process the accumulated trauma. Together\, they open up about losing brothers-in-arms\, surviving Russian captivity\, and the inescapable feeling of guilt for not being able to save some of the soldiers they treated. \nFilmed over the course of nine months\, including multiple trips to the front line in Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia oblasts as well as a 10-day visit to Sweden\, the documentary also highlights the work of Repower NGO\, which brings groups of medics to mental health trips in Sweden\, Denmark and Spain. Since the organization’s founding in 2023\, 755 military medics have participated in their program. \nRegister
