Library Programme: A Life’s Worth

This year’s library programme celebrates lived experiences, and the wisdom that comes with age. The programme includes the tender portrait of a heart-warming couple with an extraordinary job (The Last Observers, also screening in the New Nordic Voice competition), a quiet reflection on flowers and time passing by (Aeternus Florere), a call to action by the activist group Grandmothers for Peace (One Last Stand) and a lesson in enjoying your coffee in the morning (Mormor).

The films will play on a loop throughout the festival.
