Presented by Palace Cinemas, the fourth Volvo Scandinavian Film Festival takes off nationally from 11 July with a spread of 20 films from the Nordic region. The exciting program opens with Aki Kaurism�ki’s The Other Side of Hope, winner of the Silver Bear for Best Director 2017 at this year’s Berlinale. Both important and hugely entertaining, the film reflects the modern day experience of one immigrant in Finland, providing an optimistic vision of a troubled world.
The festival is delighted to feature special presentations of The King's Choice, Norway’s official selection for the 2017 Academy Awards and Fipresci prize winner Tom of Finland.
The Centrepiece Film The King's Choice is a Norwegian historical drama that brilliantly depicts the machinations, principles and personal fallout of conflict. Also included in the program is a Special Event screening of Tom of Finland, the outstanding biography of this Finnish homoerotic artist that serves as a worthy and humane homage to one of Finland’s most unorthodox international heroes.
