Celebrate International Women's Day 2024
with Pappa Sven at our annual Nordic Film night
We would love you to join us this year at the Avoca Beach Theatre to celebrate International Women’s Day and raise money for Motor Neurone Disease NSW.
We are screening the Norwegian film LET THE RIVER FLOW which is based on true events that inspired a generation of young Norwegians. Writer/director Ole Giæver’s elegant, multi award-winning historical drama follows a young woman who is unintentionally drawn into a protest against a dam that may flood Indigenous Sámi land.
LET THE RIVER FLOW powerfully conveys the outrage that helped expose Norway’s dark history of oppression over its indigenous people as part of its ‘Norwegianisation’ assimilation policy, a turning point in the fight for Sami rights.
When? Sunday March 17 - 5.30pm (for 6pm movie start)
Where? Avoca Beach Theatre – 69 Avoca Drive, Avoca Beach
Cost? $30 per person which includes an Elderflower Spritzer on arrival and a small taste of FIKA Sydney
