Northern Transmissions: The Sounds of Scandinavia Now on Film + Video
Thursday, November 2, 8pm
Scandinavia House, 58 Park Ave, at 38th St., NYC
Presented by Package Deals, CMJ Film Fest, and Scandinavia House

Scandinavia rocks in this program of music videos from across the Nordic region curated by Package Deals. Screening as part of the CMJ Music Marathon’s Film Festival, the lineup presents a cross-section of Scandinavia’s geographically, aesthetically and aurally diverse output. From Sweden’s macabre dark-wave to the upbeat pop found in Norway, on to the pastoral digital bliss of Iceland and Finland and the next wave of indie rock exported from Denmark, these videos will perk up your ears and eyes. After-party to follow with DJ Nik Arnegren and projections by Jonna Karanka. Drinks courtesy of Reyka Vodka and Carlsberg.

Northern Transmissions will begin touring in early 2007. For booking inquiries please contact Package Deals.
