The festival of Nordic culture takes place in Prague in the first half of October 2010. The Scandinavian House in cooperation with many other partners will welcome the Nordic Days festival there. Everybody interested in Nordic culture can enjoy more than ten cultural events - among them: an exhibition of the young Norwegian artist Anders Grønlien, screenings of the Finnish films based on Arto Paasilinna's novels, a lecture on Greenlandic literature, a discussion on translating Nordic literature into Czech and a lecture on travelling in Iceland. The festival will welcome two great Nordic guests - the Danish writer Erling Jepsen (the film Frygtelig lykkelig / Terribly Happy - awarded at the International Film Festival in Karlovy Vary 2008 - is based on his novel) and one of the most famous contemporary Swedish writers Per Olov Enquist. In the middle of September the website www.skandinavskydum.cz will launch competitions for free tickets for parts of the festival (theatre performances) and a more detailed festival programme will be announced.
