Film Studies: Northern Lights – Warm Tales from Cold Climates

Tuesdays at 1:30 pm or 7pm

February 11 – March 10, 2020

Filmmakers from northern lands have contributed more and more to cinema in recent years. Directors from these far-away places are eager for us to know that they, too, have important messages, and even great humor, to share with us. Bring your sense of humor and an open mind, and you will be wowed by the creative genius of some great films from Norway, Iceland, and other locales typically associated with the cold. One film we will view is The Other Side of Hope, a 2017 film from famed Norwegian director, Aki Kaurismäki, whose new works are always much anticipated because he takes his time in deciding what project to select next.
