Win an in-season double pass to Saxo Scandinavian Film Festival and witness some of the best new cinema from the Nordic region
Celebrating its tenth year, the 2024 Saxo Scandinavian Film Festival, will return in July with a specially curated selection of cinema showcasing the best new cinema from the Nordic region. The 2024 line-up features a superb selection of films from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, and will be screening at Palace Barracks and Palace James Street from July 18 through to August 7.
This year’s festival will open with the epic historical drama The Riot (Sulis 1907), directed by Academy Award nominated Nils Gaup (The Last King). The film depicts the escalation of tensions leading to the Sulis uprising of mining workers in 1907 where workers struggled under inhumane conditions in dangerous, dark copper mines. This important episode in Norwegian history has never been told on screen before and portrays the origin story of the powerful Norwegian labour movement. Hugely popular in Finland, this year’s festival centrepiece Stormskerry Maja is based on the book series by Anni Blomqvist. A tale of female empowerment set in the 1840s, it follows Maja and her husband through the breathtaking Finnish seasons on the windswept and remote Åland archipelago. Stunning cinematography makes this a must-see on the big screen.
