BREAKING NEWS/ IN THIS CASE "BONES BREAKING"
Dear Friends of Scandinavian Film Festival L.A. and BalticFilmExpo@SFFLA,
I could make a documentary titled “I feel like I’ve been hit by a bus.” Because indeed that’s exactly what happened to me a few days after Thanksgiving. Therefore-- due to circumstances beyond our control, the 2026 Nordic/Baltic festival scheduled for January must be postponed until “maybe” Spring or next January. For the moment all energies must be concentrated on healing broken bones, cuts and bruises.
Thank you for your continued interest in and support of the festival. In the meanwhile, I am thankful for you all, for good films, and for the airbags that saved my life. At the moment—no matter the language, the sub-title would read “Ouch!” On the gurney I kept thinking of lines from movies like "It's ALIVE!!!" and later "I'll be back!" Or "It's a wonderful life!"
Wishing you all happy holidays!
