Elisabeth Kleppe, Henrik Hylland Uhlving, and Elin Sander direct the film, which blends a century of archive footage with the voices of storytellers to follow the Norwegian coast and its people through different eras, memories and experiences. Living at the mercy of unruly weather and sea, far from the centers of power, these people face the open horizon and the world beyond; the film asks how this has shaped their disposition, sense of community and way of life, and whether the people of the sea have their own distinct identity that is still alive today. A humorous, epic and unsentimental love letter to those living along Norway's coastline, the film earned the Launch of the Year title at the 2026 Norwegian International Film Festival.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/new-york/events/seasiders-55709/", "official_url": "https://www.scandinaviahouse.org/event/seasiders/", "image": "https://noky.io/images/a6ffd3dd6e8bc5c8afa7efebd5eb1a57f89eb67dd38fb96c9615c052f439e1ff-2000.webp", "dates": [{"start": "2026-11-14T17:30:00-05:00", "end": null, "place": "Scandinavia House", "address": "Park Avenue 58, 10016", "tickets": ""}], "similar": [{"title": "Beloved", "start": "2026-11-12T19:00:00-05:00", "end": "2026-11-12T21:30:00-05:00", "place": "Scandinavia House", "address": "Park Avenue 58, 10016", "price": "", "price_from": null, "price_to": null, "category": "film", "tags": ["film/drama/romance"], "description": "A screening of the drama Beloved, accompanied by a film talk, wrapping up the Films From the Fjords series.
