Singing Revolution: The Musical DESCRIPTION:Singing Revolution is a new musical with a catchy Euro pop score. It tells the tale of star-crossed lovers against the beautiful\, moving and timeless true story of Estonia’s 1987 song-filled\, peaceful uprising\, known the world over as the “Singing Revolution” against the Soviet Union\, which eventually restored the Republic of Estonia’s independence in 1991. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTony Spinosa\, Co-creator: As a passionate theatre professional for over 30 years\, I have always been on the lookout for the inspiration for an original Broadway musical. When I first learned about Estonia’s Singing Revolution\, a light bulb went off in my head; people using the power of peaceful resistance\, literally singing as a shield against Soviet attacks\, is a story that I know I needed to tell. What a beautiful\, moving and timeless story\, and the premise for the perfect musical. \n\n\n\nThe Musical premieres in Los Angeles\, January 15\, 2022! Get your tickets and share the word today!

H. Tammsaare (1878-1940). Some have even proposed making the day a national holiday to celebrate Estonian literature. To celebrate\, the Estonian Institute and the Estonian Children’s Literature Centre invite you to read together this year\, too. \n\n\n\nThis year’s story is Eno Raud’s Three Jolly Fellows (Naksitrallid)\, the legendary children’s series (first published in 1972) with Edgar Valter’s unforgettable illustrations that just about every fully-grown Estonian has vivid and sentimental memories of. The books have also been turned into animated films accompanied by music by Sven Grünberg. \n\n\n\nJoin Estonians around the world in reading this piece of Estonian literature together! The Estonian Children’s Literature Centre has scanned an excerpt of the book into 15 languages (see the bottom of the post for the links). Read the excerpt to your pupils\, children\, friends\, or pets\, in the language you feel most comfortable\, record your impressions in any way you like\, and connect to other readers all over the world on Facebook with the hashtag: #loemekoos2022. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe excerpt is available in: Estonian\, English\, Russian\, Finnish\, Polish\, German\, Slovak\, Danish\, Czech\, Ukrainian\, Hungarian\, Norwegian\, Georgian\, Latvian\, Lithuanian. \n\n\n\nFor extra fun and some great 20th-century nostalgia\, check out the animated film on YouTube. And be sure to attend the event on Facebook. \n\n\n\nA four-part fairy tale series\, Naksitrallid (Three Jolly Fellows)  tells the adventures of three small men in a world that borders on the fantastic: the composed and close-to-nature\, Mossbeard; the irritable city dweller\, Halfshoe; and the sensitive poet\, Muff. The first two books deal with a chain of events set off by human tampering with the laws of nature; an old woman’s inexplicable love of cats lures a horde of felines to the city. Risking their lives\, the diligent and ready-to-help fellows drive the gang of cats out of town\, but the outcome brings trouble to city and nature alike: rats take control of the urban environment\, all the birds are devoured in the forest\, and the insects consequently launch their own wave of destruction. Only through great peril do Mossbeard\, Halfshoe\, and Muff manage to bring the cats back to the city and restore environmental balance.

DESCRIPTION:BACK HOME AND LIVE! Scandinavian Film Festival L.A. with BalticFilmExpo@SFFLA January 14-15\, 21-22\, 2023. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe incredible influence of moving images is undeniable – the screen introduces us\, shapes us\, dresses us\, fires our imaginations\, changes our language\, speaks volumes without language\, projects the unspoken language of the heart – of love\, of hate as it tells our stories. Films are a marker of both individual and national identity and at the same time a reminder of our common humanity. \n\n\n\nEstonian film and Oscar contender KALEV is among the films being shown. Bring some friends and make an event of it! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKALEV (Ove Musting\, Estonia – 1 hr 31 minutes) \n\n\n\nInspired by a true story. It’s the summer of 1990. The Soviet Union is on the verge of collapse and the small Baltic nations struggle to regain their independence. Society is divided\, there is fear and turmoil on the streets\, just as the Soviet Union’s basketball championship is about to begin. The Estonian team Kalev faces a momentous decision. With independence seemingly within arm’s reach\, a rising tide of public opinion opposes the Estonian team’s participation in the USSR championship. \n\n\n\n\n Purchase tickets here\n\n\n\n\n\nWatch the KALEV trailer here\n\n\n\n\nNordic films and “Top films from the top of Europe” are an important component in European and world cinema\, and have given us an incredible legacy of film making. The oldest continuously operating film studio in the world is in Scandinavia! The films of Denmark\, Finland\, Iceland\, Norway\, and Sweden comprise about 10% of all of European film. The films of Baltic countries were often inspired by their Nordic neighbors. The result is a creative output of wonderful films that deserve to be shared and celebrated in Hollywood – the film capital of the world! \n\n\n\nScandinavian Film Festival L.A. was founded for the purpose “cinema cultural exchange” and the sharing of an important\, significant body of work with the Los Angeles film audience – industry professionals\, film lovers\, those who love subtitles and the flavor of language\, those reading subtitles for the first time\, and those who don’t have to read the subtitles at all. In creating an annual residency for Nordic film in Southern California we offer an opportunity for all to see the representative “best” of Nordic film making in any given year. The Northern “lights\, camera\, action” of our program includes films submitted for “Oscar” competition. For those in that race we offer further “buzz” – further publicity\, further exposure. The program also includes additional current feature films\, shorts\, and an occasional documentary. Scandinavian Film Festival L.A. brings people together for the shared experience of the film\, and leads to networking\, discussion\, inspiration\, business\, and pleasure. \n\n\n\nParent organization of SFFLA is the American Scandinavian Foundation of Los Angeles.
