19 July—20 August 2022

The Scandinavian Film Festival returns to Palace Nova Cinemas in 2022, running from 19 July to 20 August.

Showing films from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, it’s an opportunity for the cinema-going community of Adelaide to see works direct from the 2022 Cannes Film Festival.

Amongst the works screening this year are Magrete – Queen of the North, from director Charlotte Sieling, which depicts the 15th century queen of Denmark who brokered the Kalmar Union, uniting Sweden, Norway and Denmark.

There will also be A Matter of Trust, an “artful and elliptical relationship drama”, from Annette K. Olesen; The Woodcutter’s Story, which follows woodcutter Pepe as his quiet life is torn asunder; and The New Land, about Swedish immigrants making a new life for themselves in the woods of Minnesota in the 19th century.

There are a range of other films on offer – some Australian premiers – and you can browse the full lineup on the Palace Nova website.
