Film Screening: Tove
Whether you’re in Oslo or the Pacific Northwest, nothing sounds more autumnal than a cozy Nordic movie screening, right? Nordic Northwest agrees, and their hygge film programming offers a little something for everyone’s cinema tastes. This time around, they’ll screen Tove, which follows the life of the beloved Moomin creator as she navigates queer love in the aftermath of World War II. Attendees can sip on a range of Oregon wines, beers, and non-alcoholic options during the film, and resident troll expert (yes, that’s a thing!!) Britte Rasmussen Marsh will chat trolls beforehand, offering a wide context of “discord and history” pulled from her ample troll research. LINDSAY COSTELLO
(Nordic Northwest, Metzger, $5-$15)
