Next weekend let’s do something different and fun. I know that it’s Halloween but you can definitely go to the movies, have dinner and attend some scary-chic party all at once! On Saturday October 31, 2015 & Sunday November 1, 2015 the first ever Nordic International Film Festival will screen over 23 films over the two day run at Victor Borge Hall, Scandinavia House, 58 Park Avenue. Admission is absolutely free. How cool is that?
On the evening of Sunday November 1st, at 8:30PM there will additionally be a Gala Red Carpet hosted by Jacob A. Ware of Boardwalk Empire, highlights from the festival, Q & A with the film makers and the Award Ceremony. It might mostly concern the media, as well as dedicated fans, but it’s also a great opportunity for us to come into contact with people from a very interesting and distinct culture leaving in countries experiencing probably way more freezing cold than we do in NYC over the last couple of winters!
For those more eager to learn details, I have the following list of actors playing in these movies (not all of them of course!):
Lindsy Fonseca ~ Kick-Ass
Eric Roberts ~ The Dark Knight
Christian McKay ~ Me and Orson Welles
Simon Callow ~ Shakespeare in Love
Bruce Greenwood ~ Star Trek
Elia Purnell ~ Never Let Me Go
Torkel Petersson ~ Kopps
Eva Westering ~ HippHipp
Charlotte Munick ~ Ana Pihl
Morgan Alling ~ Arn
Laura Bach ~ Those Who Kill
Hope that really sounds interesting to you, and trust me, we really need some cultural variety in our lives!
Love you All!!!
