Another Round, an Oscar winning new Danish film, is released in UK cinemas on Friday 2 July.

The film tells the story of Martin (Mads Mikkelsen) and three of his friends, all weary high school teachers, who embark on a risky experiment to maintain a constant level of intoxication throughout the workday.

There is an obscure philosophical theory that humans should have been born with a small amount of alcohol in our blood; that modest inebriation opens our minds to the world around us, diminishing problems and increasing creativity.

Intrigued, Martin (Mads Mikkelsen) and three of his friends, all weary high school teachers, embark on a risky experiment to maintain a constant level of intoxication throughout the workday.

Initial results are positive, but as the units are knocked back and stakes are raised, it becomes increasingly clear that some bold acts carry severe consequences.

The film is screening in various cinemas across London from 2nd July, including the Archlight Cinema in Battersea and The Castle Cinema in Hackney. The screening on Saturday 3rd July at The Lexi Cinema will be followed by a pre-recorded Q&A with director Thomas Vinterberg.

Here’s a bit of suggested wording:

The Institutes of Scandinavian Studies in Göttingen, Tübingen and Münster are threatened!

To all persons caring about the future of Svandinavia Studies I forward an urgent e-mail from Elsiabeth Magin. Please sign the petitions

chng.it/WX96G8WcD7 and

www.openpetition.de/petition/online/schuetzen-sie-die-skandinavistik-vor-streichungen, and forward this e-mail to others!

Dear everyone,

The Institutes of Scandinavian Studies in Göttingen, Tübingen and Münster are about to be closed down, in part due to cuts occasioned by the pandemic. I don’t doubt that all of you have some connection to at least one of those institutes, so I don’t need to stress just how important it is to keep them alive; but just as a reminder, Göttingen is the institute where Klaus Düwel used to work.



We are, of course, working to prevent them being closed down, and several of you will have already seen the two petitions I am linking below; but for those of you who haven’t, please sign them, pass them on to as many people as you can think of, and if you have a Twitter account, tweet them far and wide!



If you are willing to do more than share the petition, we are also working on getting as many people as possible to write letters of protest directly to the people making the decisions. If you do not know quite what to write, please contact me at aexemm@nottingham.ac.uk, and I will be happy to provide a few pointers!



Please consider if you can spare the time to do that in addition to signing the petitions to show international support for these Institutes as well!



Best wishes and thank you for your support,

Elisabeth ... See MoreSee Less
