Join the Scandinavian Cultural Center for a virtual screening of Ingmar Bergman’s 1992 film The Best Intentions, available throughout the month of August.
Swedish master Ingmar Bergman penned this loving tribute to his parent’s epic romance. In 1909, poor, idealistic theology student Henrik Bergman falls in love with Anna Åkerbloom, the intelligent, educated daughter of a rich family in Uppsala. After their wedding Henrik becomes a priest in the north of Sweden. Urbane Anna can’t stand living in the rural county and grows increasingly restless. She returns to Uppsala and the couple’s love and commitment are put to the test.

SCC Virtual Screening - A White, White Day
2020-08-09, 2020-08-08, 2020-08-07, 2020-08-06 | ONLINE, United Kingdom, E16 2DQ
Join the Scandinavian Cultural Center for a virtual screening of the 2019 Icelandic film A White, White Day, available until August 11th.
In a remote Icelandic town, an off-duty police chief (a chilling Ingvar Sigurdsson, who received Cannes’ Critics’ Week award for Best Actor for his performance) begins to suspect a local man of having had an affair with his late wife, who died in a tragic accident two years earlier. Gradually his obsession for finding out the truth takes over his life and inevitably begins to endanger himself and his loved ones. Combining classic thriller tropes with a distinctly Nordic arthouse sensibility, the second feature from Hlynur Palmason “engages in storytelling that’s both powerful and fresh throughout, marking him as a talent to watch” (The Hollywood Reporter).
Tickets are $10 for SCC members and $12 for non-members. Click here to view the trailer and buy tickets.

NAC's Call for Art: Trio Newton Satellite Gallery
2020-08-07 23:30 | ONLINE, United Kingdom, E16 2DQ
The New Art Center has some amazing opportunities available for 2-D artists that have taught or taken a class with us! We’re pleased to announce that we’ve added a new satellite gallery to our art-lending program: Trio Newton, the new development right in Newtonville!
We are looking for work that is approximately 18Wx24H, 24W x 36H, and 42Wx60H in size. Work must be framed and ready to hang, or on stretched canvas. We cannot accommodate unframed canvas panels unless they have picture wire attached to the back and can hang as stretched canvases would. No command strips.
Trio Newton is also looking to fill one of their walls with artwork of varying sizes hung in a salon style. Work for this wall can be as small as 12Wx12H and as large as 22Wx36H. The same requirements in regard to framing and hanging guidelines apply.
The New Art Center launched its original art-lending program in 2011. When possible, the program offers artists an opportunity to loan works of art and receive a stipend, and also facilitates commissions for corporate and other clients. New Art Center manages the art selection and installation working closely with our partners.
Eligibility: Students and instructors associated with the New Art Center.
Submitted work will be on loan for six months. Please email exhibitions@newartcenter.org with any additional questions.
For a chance to have your art displayed, fill out this submission form! The deadline to submit work is Friday, August 7th, 2020.
