JAN 14-16: ANNUAL SCANDINAVIAN FILM FESTIVAL
Scandinavian Film Festival L.A., sponsored by ASFLA, returns to the Writers Guild Theater in Beverly Hills on Fri., Sat. and Sun., Jan. 14, 15, and 16, 2005. The sixth annual showcase of Nordic films and filmmakers, launched in 2000, screens the year's Scandinavian films submitted to the Academy as nominees for Best Foreign-Language Film. It also screens documentaries, short subjects and other pictures by Scandinavian filmmakers. Non-competitive in nature, the festival gives Southern California audiences an opportunity to see the best in contemporary film from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden.
EDITOR'S NOTE: I highly recommend this event; not only are many of these excellent films difficult to see anywhere else, but the atmosphere, networking (and food!) are always superb.
Scandinavian Film Festival L.A. is underwritten by ASFLA, with Danzka Vodka, Scandinavian consulates, and generous support of national film organizations, individuals and corporate donors. Donors receive festival admission, listing in the program, and an invitation to an exclusive after-party at a Scandinavian consulate. If you are interested in becoming a sponsor, please call (323)661-4273 or email ASFLA. For more info on the festival, visit http://asfla.org/film.html .
