Finnish Film Week: Stories About Love

7-11 April, Belgrade Cultural Centre

It’s been an unusually long time, four years, and I believe you’ve longed for a good Finnish film. Two years ago, before the start of the already prepared Biennial Week of Finnish Film,

we were forced to cancel the whole thing because of the crown. If there’s anything good in all of this, it’s that now in front of you is the best of the best Finnish cinema in the past four years. And a handful of exciting achievements have emerged in this period.

OK Boomer

Summersdale Publishers 1052 rsd

Everyday life is a battle that must be fought against the boomers, and OK Boomer is the ultimate comeback! This is the lethal weapon we millennial and Gen Zs have been waiting for. It’s the verbal eye-roll we need for the out-of-touch generation who just don’t appreciate avocado and rosé. This amusing little book will advise you when “OK Boomer” can best be deployed, along with tips on recognizing the boomer and understanding their outdated sayings.

Chasing The Light

Oliver Stone 1295 rsd

Chasing the Light is Oliver Stone’s intimate and groundbreaking filmmaker’s memoir - and a razor-sharp insider’s tour of Hollywood during its 70s and 80s upheaval. With disarming honesty, he takes us from a childhood on New York’s Upper East Side through the combat zones of Vietnam, inside the clandestine worlds of Chinatown’s gang lords and Miami’s cocaine trade - and behind the glittering and often drug-addled Los Angeles movie society scene.

The Power of Women

Denis Mukwege 1943 rsd

Nobel laureate, world-renowned doctor and human rights activist, Dr Mukwege has dedicated his life to caring for victims of sexual violence. In this book Dr Mukwege interweaves his own dramatic story with the experiences of a range of extraordinary characters: the women he has treated - many of whom, after suffering unspeakable brutality, have had the strength to heal and rebuild their lives - as well as the people he has worked with, and survivors of sexual violence whom he has met during his years of advocating for women’s rights around the world.

Backable

Suneel Gupta , Carlye Adler 1943 rsd

No one makes it alone. But there’s a reason why some people can get investors or bosses to believe in them while others cannot. And that reason has little to do with experience, pedigree or a polished business plan. Backable people seem to have a hidden quality that inspires others to take action. We often chalk this up to natural talent or charisma . . . either you have ‘it’ or you don’t. After getting rejected by every investor he pitched, Suneel Gupta had a burning question: could ‘it’ be learned?

Unlost

Gail Muller 1174 rsd

Gail Muller was told she’d be in a wheelchair by the age of forty. At forty-one she set out to hike one of the world’s toughest treks, The Appalachian Trail - a 2,200-mile journey that would help her reclaim her life and heal her mind and body. An inspiring, moving and uplifting memoir for fans of Cheryl Strayed’s Wild and Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat, Pray, Love.

The Korean Mind

Boye Lafayette De Mente 1700 rsd

Today, South Korea as an economic, technological, and entertainment superpower. How, as a country, did they rebound from war, poverty and political unrest? And how can that success be replicated in other cultures? These answers can, in fact, be found in understanding the beliefs that Koreans hold close and the values they see significant. Author Boye Lafayette De Mente identifies the unique qualities that comprise the Korean identity and articulates their modern expressions of Korean culture and history in this book.
