100 år med gymnastikk

A talk about BJART, the local gymnastics and sports association. Get to know the Østensjø neighbourhood through BJART, an association with a 100-year history. Hear how its activities have developed over the years and what gymnastics has meant for children and young people growing up in the local community. On 9 October 1925, the gymnastics and sports association BJART was founded at Østensjø school. Today, it is one of the oldest sports associations in Bydel Østensjø and is a parent-run community club for children and young people aged 4–16. It focuses on varied apparatus training and developing body control through gymnastics, dance and acrobatics. But it has not always been this way. Join Kirsti Pedersen Gurholt, Professor Emerita at the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences, for a historical talk about BJART. She grew up in Oppsal and was a longtime member and competitive gymnast in the association. The talk lasts 30 minutes, followed by time for discussion and questions.

Sy- og fikseverksted

The sewing and repair workshop is for anyone who wants to hem a pair of trousers or mend a damaged item of clothing. Bring your garment and any materials you need. You can borrow a sewing machine and get guidance on how to use it. It’s a friendly, social and educational gathering! We’ll put the coffee on and look forward to meeting you. Everyone is welcome, and guidance is free. This is not a course; it’s a place to bring your own project and get help with whatever you need. We’ll help as best we can, and if the challenge is too big, we’ll refer you to one of the sewing studios in the area. We use the “arrangementsrommet” (event room) in the library, just to the right of the entrance. After 16.00, the library is open outside staffed hours, and you’ll need Oslonøkkelen, the app that opens the library door. This means there is a minimum age of 15, unless you are accompanied by an adult with Oslonøkkelen. Need help downloading the app beforehand? Contact the library during staffed hours and we’ll help you. Feel free to drop in for a chat! If you know how to sew and would like to volunteer, come by. We need more people on the team and would love to create a welcoming community around sewing and repairs.

Noen å prate med

Do you have something on your mind that you would like to share with someone who listens? Do you need someone to talk to? You can speak with a deacon here at the library. Her name is Ann Kristin, and she is a deacon in Kampen and Vålerenga congregations. A deacon is someone you can talk to, someone who listens when you have something on your mind that you need to share. It can be about anything: sad things, but also happy things. It could be something that has happened in your life, relationships, or something you are worried about. A deacon is not a therapist or psychologist, but someone you can talk to. A deacon is bound by confidentiality and will not tell others what she has heard, as long as it does not concern something criminal or a situation where children are being harmed. You do not need to be a believer or a member of the church, and there is no cost. Sharing thoughts and words can make life easier.

Litterært pusterom

Join a reading circle where you don’t need to have read anything in advance! Drop-in. Please note: Maximum eight participants. First come, first served. Meet at the information point/reception desk at 17:00, and the reading facilitator will show you to the room. At Litterært pusterom, we read a new short story and a new poem each time. What we read is a surprise—it could be a classic or a more recent work of literature. The reading facilitator chooses the text in advance and reads it aloud. We pause during the reading to reflect and talk about what we have read. You’re welcome to simply listen to the conversation. You don’t need to have read anything, know a lot about literature or say anything clever to take part. Come as you are. Litterært pusterom is based on Shared Reading, developed in 1997 by literary scholar Jane Davis and The Reader Organisation in Liverpool, England. The method aims to make literature accessible and meaningful to everyone, regardless of social background or previous experience. Welcome!

Julematen vår med Andreas Viestad

What’s the story behind Christmas food? Why do we eat ribbe (pork ribs) and pinnekjøtt (salted, dried lamb ribs) on Christmas Eve? And how did slimy, fermented rakfisk (fermented trout) help make it possible for people to live in Norway at all? Norwegian food traditions go back a long way and have often been shaped by hardship and scarcity. This has created a unique food culture, and few people can bring it to life as engagingly as Andreas Viestad. In his book "Vår norske mathistorie", he tells a fascinating story about who we are and why we eat what we eat. Viestad is joining us to talk about Norwegian Christmas food and how it has helped shape our history. Andreas Viestad will be interviewed by chef and Bøler resident Ole Martin Alfsen.

La Défense-trilogien

Like enigmatic Greek tragedies from Paris’s business district of La Défense French-Lebanese filmmaker Valentin Noujaïm has set his trilogy in La Défense, the brutalist business district in Paris built on cleared slums and farmland in the 1960s. The area becomes a starting point for exploring the histories of minorities that the French state has erased or overlooked. The films blend documentary, fiction and genre cinema, moving freely between the past, present and unsettling futures. Pacific Club is an elegy for the nightclub in the basement beneath La Défense. It was the city’s first nightlife venue for an Arab audience, and a refuge for immigrant children from the suburbs in the 1980s. In To Exist Under Permanent Suspicion, Kayije Kagame (Saint Omer) plays a Black businesswoman in a chilly office tower, where a neo-noir dream state stirs fantasies of revolt and destruction. The darkest part, Demons to Diamonds, depicts a society marked by surveillance and paranoia, on the brink of collapse as a wave of suicides spreads. The trilogy searches for tenderness and resistance in the city’s shadows, but also suggests that destruction can be a path to rebirth. As Denis Lavant puts it in Demons to Diamonds: «I destroy the Panthéon, so everything can begin again.» The films will be followed by a conversation with Noujaïm. Valentin Noujaïm is a French-Lebanese artist and filmmaker who studied screenwriting at La Fémis in Paris. In film and installation, he combines fiction, documentary and archival material to explore political, social and architectural collapse. La Défense-trilogien has been shown at, among others, MoMA, Centre Pompidou, CPH:DOX and IFFR, and at Kunsthalle Basel, where he held his first institutional solo exhibition in 2025. Pacific Club France/Qatar 2023 With: Azedine Benabdelmouene, Taos Bertrand and Julien Mezence 16 min. To Exist Under Permanent Suspicion France 2024 With: Kayije Kagame 14 min Demons to Diamonds France/Canada/Switzerland/Italy/Qatar 2025 With: Kayije Kagame, Denis Lavant and Félix Maritaud 29 min. Commissioned by Kunsthalle Basel in collaboration with The Vega Foundation and Lo Schermo dell’Arte.

Arlo Parks

Arlo Parks has announced a global headline tour in connection with her new album «Ambiguous Desire» – and towards the end of 2026, the British artist is coming to Parkteatret to bring some light to the darkest time of the year! Arlo Parks has been described as “the voice of her generation”, won the Mercury Music Prize for her debut album «Collapsed in Sunbeams», been named Breakthrough Artist at the 2021 BRIT Awards, and received nominations for both a Grammy and an Ivor Novello Award. Her follow-up, «My Soft Machine», featuring the song «Pegasus» with Phoebe Bridgers, was followed by extensive international touring. In 2025, she was appointed a UNICEF ambassador, becoming the youngest person ever to hold the role, and spent the year doing humanitarian work. In April, she releases her long-awaited third album, «Ambiguous Desire». With influences ranging from the queer hedonism of New York’s Paradise Garage to the dark, nocturnal British beats of The Streets and Burial, the shimmering synth catharsis of LCD Soundsystem and the earthy house grooves of Theo Parrish, «Ambiguous Desire» finds Parks at her most confident and experimental. A soundtrack to uninhibited self-expression – an life-affirming new work from one of music’s most untameable voices. Stay tuned for more from Arlo Parks soon. What’s been said about Arlo Parks: «No wonder she is being talked about as one of the voices of her generation.» – The Times «an artist who consistently makes poring over the lyric sheet line-by-line as much fun as the finished product.» – NME «Parks achieves an emotional resonance that’s unflinchingly sincere.» – Rolling Stone «a triumph.» – Clash «as close to perfection as it gets.» – Dork «A colossal talent.» – Vogue - Listen (https://tidal.com/artist/9160820/u) Valid ID is required at all our events. We only accept physical ID (passport, ID card or driving licence). The concert is presented by Live Nation. Venue: Parkteatret, Olaf Ryes plass 11, 0552 Oslo

This way of sharing reading is called shared reading and was inspired by a practice from England, where several hundred groups meet every week to read together. Each time, we read a new short story and a new poem. What we read is a surprise. We read both classics and new literature. The reading leader chooses the text in advance and reads it aloud. We pause along the way to talk about what we’ve read. You’re welcome simply to listen to the conversation, and you don’t have to say anything to take part. You don’t need to know anything about literature or have read a lot before, either. Come as you are. The reading circle meets every other Tuesday at 19:00 (even-numbered weeks). There are ten places, available on a first-come, first-served basis. If you have any questions about the reading circle, contact the reading leader Mari Vannes at [email protected]. Welcome!

Jack Presenterer! PETER PETERSEN (1953-2020) A MOURNING PLAY

At this year’s final Jack presenterer! screening, we show PETER PETERSEN (1953-2020) A MOURNING PLAY by Joen Vedel. After the screening, there will be a conversation between filmmaker Joen Vedel and Mike Sperlinger, curator and professor of theory at KHIO. Finally, Filmbyrået Jack invites you to enjoy a light meal! “Your body’s story accuses political history,” writes French author Edvard Louis in his book about his father, “Who Killed My Father?”. In PETER PETERSEN (1953-2020) A MOURNING PLAY, Vedel tells of his father’s death through objects and images: keys, postcards that were never sent, ashtrays and toys. By calling it a mourning play and using an experimental form, the film embodies a critique not only of a world made up of mass-produced objects, but also of commercial, often streamlined filmmaking. “By leaning into the tragedy of the theatrical form of the mourning play, I want to invite the audience to join me in my process of grieving, in order to de-individualise grief. Because grief is not just mine; every form of loss also contains a political dimension.” ABOUT THE FILMMAKER: Joen Vedel is a visual artist, filmmaker and organiser. Vedel’s practice includes critical media archives, film, installation, text, performance, curating, facilitation, activism and various forms of open collaboration. His work often explores the representation of political events, both large and small, and the possibilities for engaging with them as they unfold. He studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, the Whitney Independent Study Program in New York, and completed a PhD in artistic research at the Trondheim Academy of Fine Art. His work has been exhibited at, among other places, Documenta 15 in Kassel, Frankfurter Kunstverein, Overgaden in Copenhagen and, most recently, Kunstnernes Hus in Oslo. Mike Sperlinger, who will talk with Joen after the screening, is professor of writing practice at Kunstakademiet i Oslo. He works as a curator and has written for several film journals. He also helped establish Lux, a London-based organisation working with moving images. He has edited several books, including Afterthought : New Writing on Conceptual Art (2005) and Here is Information. Mobilise. Selected writings by Ian White. ABOUT THE JACK PRESENTERER! AUTUMN PROGRAMME: “It is not true,” writes Ernest Hemingway in the essay The Art of the Short Story, “that if a lady appears in the first paragraph of a story she must appear later to justify her presence. You can get rid of her, just as in life.” “It is also untrue that if there is a gun on the wall when you begin the story, it must be fired by page 14.” “Yes, it can be a symbol, but perhaps it is just hanging there?” The films in this autumn’s programme take Hemingway at his word: we must draw the threads and possible conclusions ourselves. The filmmakers use the film essay, symbolism, archival material and, not least, narrative images as commentary on the world we have created and live in. The films are short, and emerge from personal and local perspectives. They show how specific, place-based experiences connect to broader ideological shifts and political unrest, and how history leaves traces in our own time. Look out for more Jack Presenterer screenings in spring 2027! JACK PRESENTERER! is a monthly screening series at Vega Scene, organised by Filmbyrået Jack, with the aim of highlighting work at the intersection of art and film. The programme for autumn 26 and spring 27 is curated by filmmaker Birgitte Sigmundstad. The series is realised with support from Stiftelsen Fritt Ord and Kulturrådet.

Fire eventyr med Reinette og Mirabelle

A subtle, understated film by Eric Rohmer. Fire eventyr… unfolds in summer, with the light, gently swaying summer mood that characterizes many of Rohmer’s films. Mirabelle, a young woman from Paris, spends her holiday in the countryside, where she meets Reinette. They become good friends, and as the holiday draws to a close, Mirabelle invites Reinette to share her apartment in Paris. Reinette accepts, and the film follows their life in Paris, where Reinette, among other things, tries her hand at painting. The film has many beautiful moments — such as when the two young women get up at dawn to experience «the blue hour», when night turns into day. Conversation with Dag Johan Haugerud Before the screening on Tuesday 1. desember, director Dag Johan Haugerud will talk about his relationship with Eric Rohmer. The conversation is presented in collaboration with Fragment[et] - tidsskrift for kulturfilosofisk analyse. (https://www.fragmentet.no/) Their exchanges, sharp as garlic and sweet as smiles, are as naive as they are knowing. Washington Post Part of Mr. Rohmer’s genius, of course, is that he keeps creating such lives - ordinary and rarefied at once, almost but not quite beyond our grasp. No one actually lives in the world of a Rohmer film, where the name of a specific television show or rock star never mars a character’s timeless dialogue, where his characters’ heightened sense of everyday life seems absolutely adventurous. But the deep lure of his work is the suggestion that it is possible to be as articulate or as witty or even as extravagantly morose as a Rohmer character, to stumble across those undramatic moments of perfect grace on some beach or in some meadow.

The Day of the Beast (1995)

Get into the (somewhat alternative) Christmas spirit with cult-film icon Álex de la Iglesia’s devilishly dark comedy The Day of the Beast! Father Ángel (Álex Angulo) is a priest, but you wouldn’t think so from his recent behaviour. He has set out to commit as many evil acts as possible. Why? He has discovered when and where the Antichrist will be born: Christmas Eve, Madrid. To kill him before evil spreads across the world, Father Ángel must first lure him in. That’s where people like metal shop employee and self-proclaimed Satanist José María (Santiago Segura) and psychic TV host Professor Cavan (Armando de Razza) come in handy, whether they want to help or not. What follows is a race against the devil himself, complete with goats, virgin blood and general madness!

TeaTime med Vanja

The book club and writing! Are you interested in books and writing? For ages 13 to 23! TeaTime is our little club for young adults and teenagers! Whether it’s a book you read when you were little, a year ago or last week, you don’t need to prepare anything, and there are no expectations of you — except that you’re ready to chat and laugh. If the conversation doesn’t get going, we’ll have some interesting topics ready to get us thinking. For example: What’s the most intense death you’ve read about in a book? What’s a sentence you’ve read that still comes to mind from time to time? Which book has actually made you laugh out loud? Everyone can then share which book (and scene) they thought of. We’ll hear about each other’s books, the worst books we’ve read, and the best ones. GOLDEN HOUR has also become part of TeaTime. It’s last year’s writing club. I LOVE writing. Do you like writing? Do you have something on your mind? Come and sit down with us to write (I’ll be writing too). Whether it’s for 5 seconds, 15 minutes, 38, 59 or a whole hour, you write for as long as you like. If you want, you can chat about writing, get a few writing tips, write with others, or sit undisturbed in a corner. There will, OF COURSE, be tea, biscuits and hot chocolate. You’re welcome to hang out for as long as you like. After all, it’s just TeaTime.

Her (2013)

What happens when a machine gets to know us better than our friends and partners? Can we get hooked on a relationship that never disagrees with us? Fritt Ord and Vega Scene invite you to a screening of Spike Jonze’s Her from 2013, followed by a panel discussion. After the film, documentary filmmaker Tonje Hessen Schei, who made films including Praying for Armageddon, iHuman and Drone, will talk with psychologist and author Sissel Gran, who has written extensively about becoming hooked on romantic relationships, and Petter Bae Brandtzæg, a professor at the University of Oslo and one of the leading researchers on relationships between people and chatbots. The discussion will be moderated by Tellef Raabe, project manager at Fritt Ord. About the film: Theodore makes a living writing heartfelt letters on behalf of people who cannot write them themselves. Then he falls in love with his operating system. When director Spike Jonze’s modern classic Her came out in 2013, the idea was science fiction. Today, millions of people have daily conversations with AI assistants that remember what they have told them, respond in warm voices and always have time. Her, starring Joaquin Phoenix with Scarlett Johansson as the voice of Samantha, won the Oscar and Golden Globe for Best Original Screenplay. The film remains perhaps the most precise depiction of what happens when technology moves into the most private parts of our lives. And reality is imitating fiction: When OpenAI launched its voice assistant in 2024, CEO Sam Altman posted one word on X: «her». The voice sounded like Johansson’s. What does it do to us when a machine gets to know us better than our friends and partners? Can we get hooked on a relationship that never disagrees with us? And how does a chatbot affect the way we see the world? After the film, documentary filmmaker Tonje Hessen Schei, who made films including Praying for Armageddon, iHuman and Drone, will talk with psychologist and author Sissel Gran, who has written extensively about becoming hooked on romantic relationships, and Petter Bae Brandtzæg, a professor at the University of Oslo and one of the leading researchers on relationships between people and chatbots.

Filmvisning: Småting som dette

A hopeful Christmas story about compassion and the power of making a difference. Based on Irish author Claire Keegan’s bestselling book, this is a powerful, critically acclaimed drama starring Oscar-winner Cillian Murphy. The film explores the Catholic Church’s dark traditions and abuse of power against vulnerable young girls—and the devastating consequences. Ireland, 1985. It’s Christmas in the small town of New Ross, and coal merchant Bill Furlong is busy making his last deliveries of the year. At home, he prepares for the holiday with his wife and five daughters. His final delivery, on Christmas Eve itself, is to the town’s convent. There, Bill meets someone who stirs up his own past and confronts him with a moral dilemma. Should he protect himself and his family, or listen to his conscience? Drama | 2025 | 1h 38min | Age 12+ | English dialogue | Norwegian subtitles | DCP Venue: Deichman Bjørvika, Anne-Cath.

Angst

A nerve-racking thriller filmed on location in Oslo. Here we meet a Bull Tuhus who has consciously begun to take into account that the film should also connect with its audience, and who understands that social criticism and psychological depth can go hand in hand with suspense that keeps you on edge. Psychotherapist Høeg and his wife go away for a weekend, leaving their five-year-old daughter with their regular babysitter, Tove. Soon, the first threatening phone calls begin, and a nightmarish weekend is underway. The film’s title refers to the anxiety of modern society, which spreads to and is amplified in sensitive individuals. Svein Sharffenberg was cast as the unstable and threatening Marlon, largely because he was able to shift quickly between different moods. The psychologist is played by lawyer Alf Nordhus, who had defended a number of men like Marlon and therefore had some insight into their psychology. An example of creative, inspired casting. Eva Sevaldson also gives a brilliant performance as the terrorised babysitter.

Folk og røvere i Oslomarka

Talk by Even Saugstad “Banner-Ola” and “Greven av Oppkuven” were among the legendary hermits who lived in Nordmarka. These men couldn’t stand the bustle of civilisation and retreated into the forest.

It’s a formula that has sent them criss-crossing Norway so many times that it’s a wonder there are any trees left in the forest. Erik has got even better on guitar, Martin has learned to play the banjo, Magnus has glued his bass back together, and Tuva has filled her pen. Valkyrien Allstars are known as one of Norway’s best live bands. Since their first release in 2007, they have led the development of arranged folk music.

Kåre & the Cavemen

Kåre & the Cavemen play «Long Day’s Flight ‘Till Tomorrow»! Kåre & the Cavemen’s classic «Long Day’s Flight ‘Till Tomorrow» from 1999 was reissued on LP this summer on record shop Big Dipper’s Round 2 label, beautifully packaged with an exclusive memorabilia poster and an essay by King Midas’ Ando Woltmann. To mark the release, the band was asked to perform the album in its entirety at the eclectic Lyse Netter festival in Moss on 12 June. After some hesitation, the five members, who had not played together since 2015, accepted the invitation. To do justice to the album’s complex material and adapt it for a live setting, the band brought in two exceptionally skilled and versatile additional musicians: Amund Stenøien on vibraphone and Bendik Brænne on horns. The audience response was overwhelming, and the new live line-up sounded so good and tight that Kåre & the Cavemen have decided to play a pre-Christmas concert at Parkteatret, performing «Long Day’s Flight ‘Till Tomorrow» and perhaps a few surprises as well. More than 30 years after their breakthrough on national television, guitarist Knut Schreiner, drummer Kåre, João Pedersen and the rest of the band are looking forward to giving their fans a new and unique concert experience. Don’t miss this chance to hear Kåre & the Cavemen like you’ve never heard them before! - Listen (https://tidal.com/artist/3617580/u) Physical ID is required at all our events.

2 desember | 20:00 | admission 250 incl. fees | Vildebjønns Selskap is a folk trio that performs original music in Norwegian. The trio follows in the footsteps of the 1970s folk tradition, with conversational lyrics and jazz elements in the form of unusual, shifting time signatures and surprising chord progressions.

Small Roads

The roads less traveled – seen through James Benning’s camera lens. James Benning is known for films where literally nothing happens. Films such as 13 Lakes, L Cohen, Nightfall and Allensworth consist of a series of sequences with minimal movement in front of the camera; in a couple of them, you can just make out people in the distance. Otherwise, the films are made up of static shots in which the wind rustling through the trees and clouds drifting across the sky create the dramatic tension (and the fact that dramatic tension really does emerge is what makes Benning’s films so wonderful and unique). In this light, Small Roads is almost an action film by Benning’s standards, with cars and trains thundering past the camera again and again. But not quite. Filmed over a period of two years, Small Roads takes us to 47 remote roads across the United States. Using a static camera, Benning films the roads and landscapes, creating a distinctive topographical portrait of the United States through the changing seasons. The film makes us reflect on our role as viewers and the expectations we bring to a film. It has no narrative progression; instead, it is a series of moving landscape paintings, with a surprisingly rich range of natural sounds on the soundtrack. Drama emerges in the most unexpected ways: in the form of a bus that never arrives and lightning strikes on the horizon. One of the most meditative experiences I’ve ever had with a film. Steve Pulaski [James Benning] is a national treasure to be reckoned with: the Frederick Wiseman of stillness. SLANT Magazine Small roads is digital cinema as virtuoso landscape painting, depicting each two-lane blacktop from a central perspective, each 16:9 countryside highway glistening under the hot sun, shrouded in fog, or coated with a dusting of mid-winter snow. International Film Festival Rotterdam From a cactus-edged highway across a desert, through deep woods and along pleasant byways that could be in deepest England, through badlands, alongside spoiled industrial sites, past the surprising magnificence of telegraph poles, and, in one case, a marvellous juxtaposition of modern bright yellow road signs with a horizon of impossibly romantic mountains that could have been painted by one of the early American landscape artists .

Taxi Driver

Robert De Niro in his legendary role as Vietnam veteran and taxi driver Travis Bickle. Captured in dreamlike images, the familiar yellow New York taxi glides through rain-soaked streets amid clouds of steam, accompanied by Bernard Herrmann’s film-noir-style score. Blinking neon lights reflect in the cab’s gleaming paintwork and in the eyes of its driver, Travis Bickle, played by a dazzling Robert De Niro. A Vietnam veteran with no sense of belonging, he is a sleepless driver who observes the criminals, prostitutes and drug addicts of the night—a society full of trash and degradation. Many labelled Taxi Driver as glorifying violence when it came out. Travis’s personal crusade is undoubtedly portrayed with a certain fascination. The film has also been defended as an endorsement of a brutal vigilante philosophy; conversely, Travis has been described as a Jesus figure on the verge of cleansing the temples of the 1970s. More soberly, we can characterise Taxi Driver as 1970s film noir, with equal measures of realism and existentialism. Screenwriter Paul Schrader deserves much of the credit for making the film spark a wealth of associations without allowing it to be pinned down to a single idea. Taxi Driver also stands out as a showcase for its actors. It was the film that truly launched Robert De Niro’s career, and it featured Jodie Foster’s debut role. Taxi Driver also brought Martin Scorsese his major international breakthrough, winning, among other honours, the Palme d’Or for Best Film at Cannes. A brilliant nightmare and like all nightmares it doesn’t tell us half of what we want to know. Roger Ebert, The Chicago Sun-Times Taxi Driver was not just a hit but, like Psycho or Bonnie and Clyde, an event in American popular culture (…) Brilliant and yet repellent, at times even hateful, Taxi Driver inspired understandable ambivalence.

Litterært pusterom

Join a reading group where you don’t need to read anything in advance! Would you like to discover new literature with others? You’re warmly welcome to our literary breathing space! In this reading group, we use the “shared reading” method. Each time, we read a new short story and a new poem. What we read is a surprise: the facilitator chooses the texts in advance and reads them aloud. We pause during the reading to talk about what we’ve read. You don’t need to know anything about literature or have read a lot to take part. It’s also perfectly fine if you just want to listen to the conversation! The reading group meets on Thursdays in odd-numbered weeks. It’s free to join, but there are only 12 places, allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. A sign-up sheet is put up on the door that same day. Welcome! Venue: Deichman Røa, Tore Hals Mejdells vei 8, 0751 Oslo

Oppsal brett & spill

Come as you are. Bring a friend. We have the games! Oppsal brett & spill is an easy-going meetup for anyone curious about modern board games – whether you’ve never played anything beyond Ludo or have shelves full of games at home. At each meetup, we play one game together, so everyone learns the rules at the same time and no one is left sitting on the sidelines. We choose games that are accessible, fun and easy to get started with, but with enough depth to keep everyone around the table engaged. The event is free. It’s helpful to know roughly how many people are coming, so we can bring enough games. That’s why we’d really appreciate it if you join on Spond and let us know if you plan to attend. See the link to Spond below. You’ll also find a link there with information about the club. The page has an overview of the board games planned for autumn. Oppsal brett & spill is a collaboration between Oppsal Frivilligsentral and Deichman Oppsal. The activity takes place during the library’s extended self-service hours. Library users over 15 have automatic access during these hours, but you need to download the Oslonøkkelen app to open the library door. Need help downloading the app beforehand? Ask library staff during staffed hours, and they’ll be happy to help. Venue: Deichman Oppsal, Vetlandsveien 99-101, 0685 Oslo 2026-12-03, 18:00–21:30

Resilience

About people and nature in a time of change. Resilience moves between essay film and environmental thriller, following two people who live close to nature in a time of profound change. Climate change is accelerating, forests are disappearing, springs are drying up and species are dying out. Klára and her dogs hunt down people who poison endangered birds of prey, while Pavel scythes flower meadows and restores wetlands damaged by drought and deforestation. Both see nature as part of themselves and are convinced it is worth fighting for, even when the effort may seem futile. Accompanied by the sounds of wind, birdsong and music that emerges from the landscape itself, the film portrays nature’s slow changes. Inspired by cultural ecologist David Abrams’ ideas, Resilience asks whether it is still possible to restore the balance between people and nature—a balance that is being disrupted faster than we can understand. Director Tomás Elsik will attend the screening. He will take part in a conversation with Pernille Hansen from Naturvernforbundet. “Resilience recreates the sensual experience of being in nature and asks questions to which we ought to find the answers sooner rather than later, and it does it intelligently and tenderly touching on the philosophy of nature and being in the highly modernized reality of the XXI century.” Modern Times Review

Everything Everywhere All at Once

Meet Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 lead writer Jennifer Svedberg-Yen, who will talk about some of her sources of inspiration and how she helped create the hit game. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was the first release from French studio Sandfall Interactive and became one of the most talked-about, critically acclaimed and award-winning games of 2025. The game takes us into a beautiful, dark fantasy world where a mysterious painter wakes each year and paints a number, killing everyone who is exactly that age. An expedition sets out in an attempt to stop her. Jennifer Svedberg-Yen worked in finance for many years before choosing a different path. Over a five-year period, she explored everything from self-defence to dance and NASA experiments, and also began writing. During the pandemic, she happened to get in touch with Guillaume Broche, who was looking for voice actors for a personal game he was developing on the side. She soon became involved in the game’s production, and she and Guillaume then began an entirely new collaboration, which became Clair Obscur. The game’s story draws on Svedberg-Yen’s experiences and dreams, books she has read and TV series she has watched. She will talk more about this as she introduces this screening of The Daniels’ absurd drama Everything Everywhere All at Once. We meet Evelyn, a middle-aged laundromat owner who discovers that the fate of every world in an infinite multiverse rests on her weary shoulders. The screening is supported by Institut français.

Hellbillies

A little piece of Norwegian music history at Sentrum Scene on Thursday 3 December! Few artists have contributed as many songs to Norway’s musical heritage as Hellbillies. Eighteen albums, a string of hit songs and a lifetime of bringing music to every corner of the country. Throughout their career, Hellbillies have been celebrated for their distinctive sound, rooted in a fusion of American and Norwegian musical traditions. The literary quality of their lyrics, combined with their musical heft, has inspired generations of artists who have followed in their footsteps. They have received many accolades, from the Spellemannprisen honorary award and «Årets Spellemann» to honours from Noregs Mållag, Norsk Artistforbund, Prøysenprisen and Medaas-prisen, as well as rave reviews. Sold-out concert halls and an ever-growing audience, as new generations discover their catalogue, speak for themselves. This will be a grand celebration of a band that has long since made its mark on Norwegian cultural history, in a setting where the songs can truly shine. Hellbillies are Aslag Haugen (vocals, guitars), Lars Haavard Haugen (guitars, vocals), Bjørn Gunnar Sando (drums), Egil Stemkens (bass), Lars Christian Narum (keyboards) and Atle Aamodt (percussion). Photo: Marthe Amanda Vannebo Tickets: Please note: This event has numbered seats in the gallery and two standing ticket categories: — Standing (main hall) - kr. 595,- + booking fee — Standing (rear section of gallery) - kr. 595,- + booking fee — Numbered seats (gallery) - kr. 695,- + booking fee If the seated ticket category is sold out, no more seats are available. 18+ age limit.

Kåre & the Cavemen

Kåre & the Cavemen perform «Long Day’s Flight ‘Till Tomorrow»! Kåre & the Cavemen’s classic «Long Day’s Flight ‘Till Tomorrow» from 1999 was reissued on LP this summer on record shop Big Dipper’s Round 2 label, beautifully packaged with an exclusive memorabilia poster and an essay by King Midas’ Ando Woltmann. To mark the release, the band was invited to perform the album in its entirety at the eclectic Lyse Netter festival in Moss on 12 June. After some hesitation, the five members, who had not played together since 2015, accepted the invitation. To do justice to the album’s complex material and adapt it for live performance, the band brought in two highly skilled and versatile additional musicians: Amund Stenøien on vibraphone and Bendik Brænne on horns. The audience response was overwhelming, and the new live lineup sounded so good and well rehearsed that Kåre & the Cavemen have decided to play a pre-Christmas concert at Parkteatret, performing «Long Day’s Flight ‘Till Tomorrow» and perhaps a few surprises as well. More than 30 years after breaking through on national television, guitarist Knut Schreiner, drummer Kåre, João Pedersen and the rest of the band are looking forward to giving their fans a new and unique concert experience. Don’t miss this chance to hear Kåre & the Cavemen as you’ve never heard them before! Listen https://tidal.com/artist/3617580/u ID is required at all our events.

Vagabond

A moving portrait and one of the highlights of 1980s French cinema. At a time in the 1980s when almost all the attention was focused on stylish young directors such as Beneix, Besson and Carax, Agnès Varda appeared with a film that, despite its somewhat bleak atmosphere, had an almost magical radiance. It also marked the definitive breakthrough of the great acting talent Sandrine Bonnaire. A farmer finds a young woman, nearly frozen, in a ditch by the road. She is lifeless. Using techniques that are almost documentary in style, Varda tells the story of this young woman and how she came to be where she was found. The story follows her along the highway, while interviews with people who met her attempt to build a fuller picture of her. She sought solitude, and almost unconsciously affected everyone she met. Her outward appearance was rarely appealing, but her behaviour was rebellious. Even so, many people are left with a fond or sympathetic memory of her. Vagabond is a moving portrait of a woman, and the film’s achievement is that audiences feel they have met this woman themselves by the time they leave the cinema. Vagabond is not a “mockumentary”, but a story based on real events that combines techniques from both fiction and documentary. Varda herself has said that much of the film took shape along the way, as the crew followed the young woman’s trail and met people along the road. Perhaps Vagabond is one of the best road movies ever made, at least in a European sense. In American road movies, attributes such as cars and guns are conventions that illustrate the genre; in Vagabond, there is only the person and the highway. Life unfolds as you walk.

Taxi Driver

Robert De Niro in his legendary role as Vietnam veteran and taxi driver Travis Bickle. Shot in dreamlike images, the familiar yellow New York taxi glides through rain-soaked streets in a cloud of steam, accompanied by Bernard Herrmann’s film noir-like score. Flashing neon lights are reflected in the cab’s gleaming paintwork and in the eyes of its driver, Travis Bickle, played by a dazzling Robert De Niro. He is a Vietnam veteran, connected to no one, a sleepless driver observing the criminals, prostitutes and drug addicts of the night—a society full of trash and degradation. Many branded Taxi Driver as glorifying violence when it was released. Travis’s personal crusade is undoubtedly portrayed with a certain fascination. The film has also been defended as an expression of a brutal vigilante philosophy, while, conversely, Travis has been described as a Jesus figure on the verge of cleansing the temples of the 1970s. More soberly, we can characterise Taxi Driver as 1970s film noir, with equal measures of realism and existentialism. Screenwriter Paul Schrader deserves much of the credit for making the film spark a wealth of associations without allowing it to be confined to a single idea. Taxi Driver is also outstanding as a showcase for its actors. It was the film that truly launched Robert De Niro’s career, and it was Jodie Foster’s debut role. Taxi Driver also gave Martin Scorsese his major international breakthrough, and won, among other awards, the Palme d’Or for Best Film at Cannes. A brilliant nightmare and like all nightmares it doesn’t tell us half of what we want to know. Roger Ebert, The Chicago Sun-Times Taxi Driver was not just a hit but, like Psycho or Bonnie and Clyde, an event in American popular culture (…) Brilliant and yet repellent, at times even hateful, Taxi Driver inspired understandable ambivalence.

Finn tre feil

Get ready for the funniest night of the autumn when Finn tre feil takes the stage! 3. september, Pernille Sørensen, Live Nelvik and Kristine Riis are finally back with a brand-new comedy show — the follow-up to the smash hit 3 for 1. The last time the trio put on a show, NRK gave it a six on the die and called it “a masterclass in comic chemistry”. Now they’re raising expectations another notch. 📍 Latter, Holmens gate 1, 0250, Oslo 🌟 25% SiO discount on weekdays 💰 SiO student price: 525 kr (Ord. price: 690 kr / 600 kr) 🎟️ Select the ticket category “SiO-RABATT” and enter the code “STUDENT” to redeem the discount 🪪 Remember to bring a valid student ID 🙋🏻♀️ Age limit: 18 years (Tuesday–Wednesday) / 20 years (Thursday–Saturday) Finn tre feil takes on everything that’s a little off — in life, society and our relationships. The little slip-ups. The big blunders. The misunderstandings, self-deceptions, lies and endless projects that never quite go to plan. Everything we try to hide — but which, in their hands, becomes razor-sharp comedy, quirky characters and musical moments you didn’t know you needed. With commanding stage presence, impeccable timing and a rare ability to find comedy in the familiar, Sørensen, Nelvik and Riis deliver humour that brings the whole room together in fits of laughter. These are three of the country’s best comedians at their very best — together. The question isn’t whether you’ll find three mistakes. The question is whether you’ll be able to stop laughing. Get your tickets now — you won’t want to miss this.

Of Mud and Blood

A harrowing and compelling portrait of a Congolese mountain village caught in an endless war over coltan, one of the most important raw materials of our time. Numbi, a small mountain village in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, quietly keeps the modern world running. Around 80 percent of the world’s coltan is found here, an essential raw material for the technology that surrounds us. Residents live in the crossfire between armed groups, smugglers and military forces, and everyday life is shaped by an endless war in which alliances shift but hardship remains. The journey coltan makes, from the muddy hands of miners to the London stock exchange, exposes colonial power structures that we continue to uphold, often without realising it. Director and cinematographer Jean-Gabriel Leynaud lets local people tell their own stories, while his camera bears witness to the destruction of the region’s magnificent natural environment. A conversation with director Jean-Gabriel Leynaud and Morten Bøås from NUPI – Norsk utenrikspolitisk institutt – follows the film. Courageous, disturbing and yet beautiful documentary. Dirty Movies

Joshua Idehen

British-Nigerian spoken word artist Joshua Idehen comes to Parkteatret on Friday 4 December 2026, following the release of his album «I Know You’re Hurting, Everyone Is Hurting, Everyone Is Trying, You Have Got To Try». At a time marked by what seems like an endless stream of bad news, Joshua Idehen does not pretend that everything is all right. Instead, he creates a musical and poetic space to sit with what is difficult while also finding hope, community and energy. On his new album, Idehen combines his distinctive spoken word style with electronic soundscapes that move between the intimate, euphoric and danceable. The album was made with his creative partner, musician and producer Ludvig Parment of Saturday Monday. The collaboration has resulted in a powerful and uplifting collection of songs that spans the full spectrum of emotions, from grief and vulnerability to euphoria and hope. After several years of developing his distinctive style, Idehen takes his lyrical world to new heights on the album. His words resonate with both seriousness and warmth, while Parment’s enveloping production ensures that the music invites listeners not only to reflect, but also to let loose on the dance floor. Listen https://tidal.com/artist/5919579/u Physical ID is required at all our events. We accept only physical identification (passport, ID card or driving licence). The concert is presented by Luger.

A Better Tomorrow

A chance to revisit John Woo’s influential Hong Kong film. Ho and Mark are two successful gangsters in Hong Kong’s triad underworld, specialising in counterfeiting. Ho’s family knows nothing of his criminal career, and his younger brother Kit is about to graduate from the police academy. Ho is working towards becoming a law-abiding citizen and is close to securing enough money and standing to leave the triads. But in the shadows, the ambitious Shing is plotting his rise through the ranks, and Ho stands in his way. After a series of brutal and tragic events, Ho ends up in prison, Mark is demoted within the organisation, and Shing establishes himself as a ruthless mafia boss without scruples or respect. When Ho is finally released, he decides to live a quiet life outside the triads. But Kit, now an inspector, is determined to put Shing behind bars. Ho is therefore forced back into the violent world he is trying to leave. It all unfolds into a bloody drama that puts loyalty, brotherly love, honour and life itself at stake. John Woo’s melodramatic gangster epic established him as one of the world’s foremost action directors. The film draws on a range of influences, including Jean-Pierre Melville and Sam Peckinpah, as well as the work of Douglas Sirk. Leslie Cheung was originally meant to be the star who would draw audiences into cinemas, but he was completely overshadowed by Chow Yun-Fat as Mark. A Better Tomorrow made Chow Yun-Fat an icon on a scale Hong Kong had scarcely seen since Bruce Lee. With a toothpick in the corner of his mouth and sunglasses on, he became a star comparable to Steve McQueen in Bullitt, Clint Eastwood in Dirty Harry and Alain Delon in Le Samuraï. According to reports, Chow Yun-Fat received a thank-you letter after the sunglasses manufacturer saw a significant increase in sales of the model he wears as Mark. Ti Lung, who plays Ho, also received a major career boost. Originally a star of the Shaw Brothers’ kung fu films, he had seen acting offers dry up during the 1980s. After the film’s success, he re-established himself as a serious dramatic actor. Leslie Cheung became an active and acclaimed actor after the film, appearing in titles such as A Chinese Ghost Story (En kinesisk spøkelseshistorie her hjemme), Chen Kaige’s Palme d’Or winner Farvel min konkubine and Wong Kar Wai’s queer classic Happy Together. Cheung, who struggled with severe depression for much of his life, tragically took his own life in 2003. A Better Tomorrow is the film that would define Hong Kong action cinema through the 1980s and 1990s. It is a highly influential gangster film, and its DNA can be traced in everything from the John Wick films to Infernal Affairs and Martin Scorsese’s remake The Departed. A Better Tomorrow is one of the key foundations of what became known as “heroic bloodshed”, a distinctive blend of melodrama, loyalty, honour and explosive, stylised violence. The film has lost none of its creative energy since its premiere 40 years ago.

Fire eventyr med Reinette og Mirabelle

Delicate and understated, from Eric Rohmer. Fire eventyr… unfolds in summer, with the light, gently drifting summer mood that characterizes many of Rohmer’s films. Mirabelle, a girl from Paris, spends her holiday in the countryside, where she meets Reinette. They become good friends, and as the holiday draws to a close, Mirabelle invites Reinette to share her apartment in Paris. Reinette accepts, and the film goes on to follow their life in Paris, where Reinette, among other things, tries her hand at painting. There are many beautiful moments in this film—such as when the two girls get up at daybreak to experience “the blue hour,” as night turns to day. Conversation with Dag Johan Haugerud Before the screening on Tuesday 1 December, director Dag Johan Haugerud will talk about his relationship with Eric Rohmer. The conversation is held in collaboration with Fragment[et] - tidsskrift for kulturfilosofisk analyse. https://www.fragmentet.no/ Their exchanges, sharp as garlic and sweet as smiles, are as naive as they are knowing. Washington Post Part of Mr. Rohmer’s genius, of course, is that he keeps creating such lives - ordinary and rarefied at once, almost but not quite beyond our grasp. No one actually lives in the world of a Rohmer film, where the name of a specific television show or rock star never mars a character’s timeless dialogue, where his characters’ heightened sense of everyday life seems absolutely adventurous. But the deep lure of his work is the suggestion that it is possible to be as articulate or as witty or even as extravagantly morose as a Rohmer character, to stumble across those undramatic moments of perfect grace on some beach or in some meadow.

FAKETHIAS (DJ) + Onleash + Sport7000 /BLÅ

FAKETHIAS (DJ) + Onleash + Sport7000 Fredag 4. desember | 23:00 | Id: 20 | 150,- techno / bass / experimental FAKETHIAS has evolved from one of the more abrasive names in experimental club music into a creator of emotionally charged songs built from big melodies, blown-out sonics, and industrial textures. Across the albums Core Echo and Afterimage, his work pairs immediate hooks with a sense of disorientation: somewhere between alternative pop, noise, and widescreen electronic music. FAKETHIAS co-produced Bassvictim’s album Forever, appeared on “Again” from A24’s The Drama alongside Katie Fash and Elusin, and previously opened Mugler’s viral 2021 fashion film with “Premium Defects.” Onleash, also known as Peak Sinner and formerly Drippin, has spent over a decade shaping the forward-looking edges of club music. His earlier work moved through rap, grime, and bass-heavy electronics before evolving into the harder, more physical sound he is now known for. Drawing from a wide range of influences, his music is defined by high-impact percussion, punishing low end, sharp melodic instincts, and an approach to rhythm that feels both controlled and volatile, making his tracks go-to weapons for DJs across the club landscape. Sport7000 is the moniker of Oslo native producer/dj/designer Andreas Mallaug. As one of the creators behind the award-nominated club concept Klubb Verdensstjerne, he has played a key role in shaping Oslo's club scene, orchestrating numerous unforgettable nights in the city for many years.

Come and hear ten brand-new songs about the mischievous Christmas elf, pizza Christmas, a Christmas tree with a slightly overinflated self-image, and much more! Mikrokosmos have released a brand-new Christmas album, with new songs for all ages (including grown-up kids). But there’s a full-blown argument in the band. Who gets to play the most Christmassy Christmas instrument? Marianne swears by her ultra-modern Last Christmas synth. Åge favours Christmas bells. Pål is sure jingle bells beat everything. And Jo? His bass is made from a Christmas tree, after all. You get to help choose the winner! We also need help decorating a Christmas tree with things that rhyme. And if we’re really lucky, a Christmas pig will come to visit! Marianne Sveen – vocals, synth and ukulele, Åge Reite – keyboards and Christmas bells, Pål Hausken – drums and jingle bells, Jo Berger Myhre – bass. The event is suitable for all ages. Welcome!

Snekker Andersen og Julenissen

Alf Prøysen’s charming Christmas story about Snekker Andersen and Santa Claus swapping roles. Snekker Andersen loves Christmas. Every year, he does everything he can to make sure his wife and three children have a proper Christmas. The most important part of Christmas Eve is a visit from Santa Claus himself! But this Christmas turns out to be very special: when Snekker Andersen meets Santa Claus in person, the two decide to swap roles and visit each other’s families. Santa’s family has never before had a real carpenter visit, and the Andersen family has never met the real Santa Claus … The film is based on Alf Prøysen’s charming and atmospheric Christmas story, which has delighted children and adults since it was first published in 1957. The story has been published as picture books and in comic-book form, read aloud countless times on the radio, and performed more than 1,300 times at Oslo Nye Teater.

Solan og Ludvig – Jul i Flåklypa

Flåklypa faces powerful forces of nature when Reodor Felgen invents a snow cannon. Christmas is approaching, and what Ludvig wants most of all is snow. So inventor Reodor Felgen sets out to build the world’s most powerful snow cannon. But the invention soon falls into the hands of Frimand Pløsen, editor of Flåklypa Tidende, who has other plans. Solan and Ludvig have to set things right. Meanwhile, Reodor has disappeared, and an increasingly fierce snowstorm is raging outside. Tampering with nature is dangerous, after all. The film is a classic stop-motion puppet film, with all the sets, props and figures made by hand. Only the snow is computer-animated. The film is based on Kjell Aukrust’s universe and the book Solan og Ludvigs jul by Harald Sommerin Simonnæs.

Vagabond

A moving portrait and one of the highlights of French cinema in the 1980s. At a time in the 1980s when almost all the attention was focused on stylish young directors such as Beneix, Besson and Carax, Agnès Varda emerged with a film that, despite its somewhat bleak mood, had an almost magical radiance. It also marked the definitive breakthrough of the great acting talent Sandrine Bonnaire. A farmer finds a young woman, badly frozen, in a ditch by the road. She is lifeless. Using an almost documentary approach, Varda tells the story of this woman and how she came to be where she was found. The story follows her along the road, while interviews with people who met her gradually build a fuller picture of her. She sought solitude, and almost unconsciously affected everyone she encountered. Her appearance was rarely appealing, but her behaviour was rebellious. Even so, many people are left with a fond or sympathetic memory of her. Vagabond is a moving portrait of a woman, and one of the film’s achievements is that audiences feel they have met her by the time they leave the cinema. Vagabond is not a “fake documentary”, but a story based on real events that combines techniques from both fiction and documentary. Varda herself has said that much of the film took shape along the way, as the crew followed the woman’s trail and met people on the road. Perhaps Vagabond is one of the best road movies ever made, at least in a European sense. In American road movies, conventions such as cars and guns illustrate the genre; in Vagabond, there is only the person and the open road. Life unfolds as you walk.

Fanny og Alexander

Ingmar Bergman's final major film. Fanny og Alexander is the chronicle of the Ekdahl family's life. It is told through the sensitive eyes of the boy Alexander, who is in many ways Bergman's alter ego in this partly autobiographical film. With its broad and penetrating depiction of a boy growing up, Fanny og Alexander is also a study of the birth and development of the artistic imagination. The film is inspired by the theatre. References to plays such as August Strindberg's Ett drömspel and William Shakespeare's Hamlet are numerous and clear. After Fanny og Alexander, there will be no more feature films for me. It could never be more fun, nor more demanding. Fanny og Alexander is like a summation of my entire life as a filmmaker. Feature films are work for young people, both physically and mentally. Ingmar Bergman Astonishingly beautiful. Roger Ebert

Hayeminol

After a wild festival summer, with an ever-growing audience and bigger mosh pits, Hayeminol are heading out on the road. On 5 desember, they’re coming to Parkteatret — for both over- and under-18s! Hayeminol have spent the summer making chaos. Adresseavisen gave their Pstereo concert a score of 6. Audun Vinger in DN called them «the real headliner» at Øya. Dagsavisen gave the same concert a 5 and wrote that Hayeminol «capture the spirit of the times in a way most of the other artists at Øya can only envy». So what’s going on? Mosh pit meets Beach Boys. Punk meets pop. DEVO meets desperation. Hayeminol play as if their songs could fall apart at any moment. Fuzz, screams and restless energy collide with big melodies and multi-part harmonies. One moment, the floor is boiling. The next, it almost sounds beautiful. Then it hits again. On «Ingen vår i år», the band found their Norwegian-language universe: time, identity, nostalgia and the feeling that life is moving faster than you are. Live, that same unease becomes physical. The mosh pits have grown over the summer, while the band has attracted an ever-wider audience. They started Hayeminol as 13-year-olds. Now in their early 20s, with four albums behind them, they’ve spent the summer tearing festival stages apart. Now they’re heading out on the road. - Listen https://tidal.com/artist/16723271/u Parkteatret, Olaf Ryes plass 11, 0552 Oslo

Thomas Dybdahl

Thomas Dybdahl is regarded as one of Norway’s very best artists. With a series of beautiful, timeless and accomplished albums, he has long secured his place among the country’s most prominent artists and songwriters. On Saturday 5 December, Thomas Dybdahl comes to Sentrum Scene with his band! Dybdahl made his solo debut with That Great October Sound, for which he won a Spellemann Award. Since then, he has released further critically acclaimed albums, including Stray Dogs, One Day You’ll Dance For Me New York City, Science and What’s Left Is Forever, which earned a Grammy nomination. 2025 was a particularly strong year for Dybdahl, with extensive touring and a series of concerts awarded the top score of six out of six by reviewers across the country. On stage, he has cemented his position as one of Norway’s most compelling performers—intimate, soulful and technically brilliant—with an audience spanning generations. His most recent album release was the beautiful Teenage Astronauts. For this project, he worked with Grammy winner Larry Klein, legendary arranger Vince Mendoza, Stavanger Symphony Orchestra and lyricist Edie Kuhnle Ottestad. The result was an ambitious and grand project that clearly shows Dybdahl remains curious, uncompromising and in constant artistic development. Alongside this, he is currently working on a follow-up to his 2020 album Fever. The first taste arrived in autumn 2025 with the single “Let Me Love You”—a song that has already become a live favourite, earning a central place in the concert set and pointing clearly towards the next chapter in Dybdahl’s career. The new EP Endless Sky is released on 23 October! Tickets: NOK 530 + booking fee. 18+ age limit. Valid ID required. No guardian arrangement. Valid ID means a physical national ID card, passport, physical driving licence or bank card with a photo. Digital ID (digital driving licence or BankID) and photos of ID are not accepted.

This concert has been a tradition for more than 20 years and is a highlight for both devoted fans and new followers!

Valentourettes consists of Petter Pogo, Petter Baarli, Runar «Kula» Johannessen and Tarjei Foshaug. -- Tickets: NOK 390 + service fee. 18+ age limit. Valid ID required. No guardian scheme.

Caliban Sessions 2026

Caliban Sessions is the big annual super-party where the community around Black Debbath, Duplex Records and Caliban Studio Storsjøen puts together a fantastic evening filled with the best music and entertainment. This year’s party takes place on Saturday 5 December at John Dee! This long-running tradition began back in 2002, and we can look back on many fantastic evenings. Artists confirmed so far: BLACK DEBBATH Black Debbath are in the studio working on album no. 11, but are taking a break to visit this year’s Caliban Sessions, as usual. Now in their twenty-seventh year and still with the original lineup (!!!!!), Black Debbath are better and more relevant than ever. BARE EGIL BAND The man. The myth. The legend! Worth the price of the whole ticket! See you there! HÅNDGEMENG Håndgemeng are a mighty hard rock band from the darkest corners of Oslo. With a scorching-fresh repertoire, they promise an evening of broad-legged heavy metal and a guaranteed good time. Riff after riff after riff, Håndgemeng will break through every genre boundary and take you from the deepest hell to the farthest reaches of the cosmos. This is a session you won’t soon forget! MALIN PETTERSEN In recent years, Malin Pettersen has gone from establishing herself on the Norwegian music scene to receiving international recognition from media outlets such as Billboard, Forbes and Rolling Stone. Anyone who has heard Malin Pettersen before knows that it’s her voice that draws you in—and her songwriting that keeps you there. She released the critically acclaimed album Wildflower in 2025, for which she won a Spellemann Award. JORDSJUK Necro music for necro times! Jordsjuk have made a big impression on the Norwegian metal scene in a short time. Naglet til livet, released in autumn 2025, has already been called one of the decade’s best debut albums in metal, and the record was even awarded a Spellemann Award in the “Hardrock & Metal” category. Made up of musicians with long experience in the Norwegian underground, Jordsjuk serve up a defiant blend of black metal, thrash, death metal, punk and rock. Riff-driven, straight to the point and, above all, infectiously catchy, with lyrics that paint brutal pictures of doom, desperation and destruction—all performed in their native language. The band have already played a double-digit number of shows, and it’s on stage that their ferocity really gets free rein. For those who have seen them before, expectations are high. For everyone else: get ready to be steamrolled! HEIGH CHIEF Over the past few years, Heigh Chief have become synonymous with well-played, catchy and solid rock and Americana. With a scorching-fresh album added to their catalogue, the band bring new energy to an already carefully crafted sound, powerful songs and incredible dynamics. A Heigh Chief concert is about as good as it gets: no fuss about mosh pits or singalongs, just great songs delivered honestly by a group of highly capable musicians. JAQUELINE This year’s reunion is: Jaqueline! A hard rock/stoner power trio that first emerged in Elverum in 1998. They released their debut album, Idiots, in 2005. Reaping Machines followed in 2006, and Cape Horn in 2009. The band received excellent reviews in Akersgata back when they were still writing them. For many years, Jaqueline toured Norway and Germany from end to end. The trio consists of Bjarne Ryen Berg (drums), Marius Drogsås Hagen (vocals, bass, baritone) and Morten Wærhaug (vocals, guitar). Marius and Bjarne have previously won a Spellemann Award with the pop group Team Me. Jaqueline are currently working on a new album! We’re aiming for a good mix of old and new at this party! SUNNY BLEACH SUNNY BLEACH is a child born through IVF and moulded from Porsgrunn’s finest porcelain. The sunset-punk quintet is here to create glimmers of light and humid warmth in an otherwise cold, industrial city. You know you have to be here when it goes down. It’s the talk of the town. NÖ BULL Nö Bull are a hard-hitting rock band from central Telemark, delivering straight-up rock’n’roll with clear traces of the Australian pub-rock tradition. In winter 2023/2024, they headed to Caliban Studios to record their debut album, Getting Out. The album was released in autumn 2024 and received excellent feedback. In early 2026, the band returned to the same studio to start recording its follow-up. But Nö Bull really come into their own on stage. With high energy, a love of playing and a strong sense of drive, their concerts are intense from the very first note, pulling both band and audience into the same rhythm. Not to be missed! SHOWDOWN Jørgen Moe Eikås is the legendary sound engineer who has delivered great sound at Caliban Sessions for years! He also handles sound year-round for Black Debbath, Thulsa Doom and Bare Egil Band, to name a few. This time, he’s making a comeback on stage with his old band! Showdown are a hardcore band from Kongsvinger, formed in 2003. The following year, the band released their debut album, New Day Rising, and established themselves as an energetic and uncompromising presence on the Norwegian hardcore scene. In the years that followed, Showdown toured extensively around Norway, and their music also took them beyond the country’s borders. They toured Europe and the UK several times, introducing Kongsvinger hardcore to international audiences. After several active years, the band called it quits in 2008. Now, after many years away, Showdown are back together. With the same lineup and renewed enthusiasm for playing, the aim is to breathe life into the songs again—and find out how Kongsvinger hardcore works this time around. Tickets: NOK 350 + booking fee. 18+ age limit. Valid ID required. No guardian arrangement is available. Valid ID means a physical national ID card, passport, physical driver’s licence or bank card with a photo. Digital ID (digital driver’s licence or BankID) or a photo of an ID document is not accepted. The event has standing-room only. Doors open at 19.00.

New EP, new concert at Hærverk, and almost the same Mats Wawa. The guys are trying to recreate the success of their last concert, which one fan (36) described as “The best Mats Wawa concert I’ve ever seen!” More homey, homegrown AOR, alt-country, Americana and Northern Soul. They’ve been a band for 12 years, and things are still looking up. Songs about the life of an ordinary 34-year-old and all it can involve: being late for work, video games, songs about singing, and planning days at daycare.

Lame Ducks - 30år // Vaterland

Lame Ducks - 30 years! Support: TBA Saturday 5 December 20:00 // 275.- + fees // 20+ ---------------------------- Lame Ducks are celebrating 30 years! Many consider Lame Ducks to be Norway’s first ska-punk band. Since forming in 1996, they have drawn clear inspiration from bands such as Mad Caddies, Link 80, Common Rider, Goldfinger and Reel Big Fish. On 5 December, the band celebrates three decades of ska-punk at Vaterland in Oslo. The band made waves on the Norwegian punk scene in the late 1990s and early 2000s. After a successful performance at By:Larm in 2001, they signed a record deal with the company that would become the legendary Fucking North Pole Records. Over the next four years, they released three albums to excellent reviews and toured much of Europe several times. After a UK tour connected with the “Duck Season” album, the band went into an “indefinite hiatus” that lasted from 2005 to 2009. During that period, some members continued under the name The Troikas. Since their comeback in 2009, Lame Ducks have played occasional, carefully selected festival and club shows, to the great enthusiasm of old fans and new followers alike. Now, 30 years are being squeezed into one night at Vaterland. Expect some old hits, newer classics, perhaps a few rarities, ska, punk, horns and a refreshing band that still plays faster than its age would suggest. ------------------------ Ticketmaster.no Vaterlandoslo.no

Søm og drøm

Are you a dreamer who likes seams? So are we. Welcome to the sewing club at Deichman Grünerløkka, hosted by Framtiden i våre hender’s local Oslo branch. Welcome to the sewing club, which takes place in Salen at Deichman Grünerløkka! Anyone can bring a project they would like to work on. We’re a group of hobby sewers who can help if you get stuck. You don’t need to bring your own machine! There are 6 good sewing machines, as well as an overlocker. We have an iron and ironing board, scissors, some thread (but bring your own if it needs to match your fabric exactly), and various accessories such as zips and buttons. Otherwise, bring whatever fabric and specific accessories you need for your project. There is some leftover fabric that can be used for small projects. Our volunteers will do their best to help with any questions you may have. We also make a pot of food when we have the capacity. If so, we’ll post about it in the Facebook event. Children are welcome, but parents must supervise them, as there are lots of needles, sharp scissors, etc. that we cannot take responsibility for. This is not a sewing course, so the volunteers don’t have the capacity to guide you step by step, but they’ll help as much as they can along the way. Hope to see you! P.S. We need volunteers to help out during the event. Could that be you? Email [email protected] to join as a volunteer. Warm wishes from the board of Framtiden i våre hender’s local Oslo branch.

Reisen til julestjernen

Christmas wouldn’t be complete without a great film on the big screen! Ola Solum’s Christmas classic Reisen til julestjernen is a cherished tradition at Barnas cinematek. In this beloved adventure film, we meet Princess Gulltopp, who disappears from the castle on Christmas Eve. She has gone into the forest to find the Christmas star, after being tricked by her wicked and greedy uncle, the count. When the king and queen learn that the princess has vanished, they are overcome with grief. The distraught queen rushes into the forest to look for her. The king curses the Christmas star, blaming it for the tragic events. But his curse makes the star go dark. And when the star disappears, so does the queen. Many years later, a group of travelling performers arrives at the king’s castle. Sonja, a girl in the troupe, feels sorry for the king and wants to help him find the Christmas star. A Christmas story with traditions Reisen til julestjernen has become a much-loved Christmas classic for audiences of all ages. The film is based on Sverre Brandt’s play of the same name from 1924, and was the first Norwegian fairy-tale film made as a feature. It was also Ola Solum’s directorial debut. Reisen til julestjernen premiered at Klingenberg kino on 3. desember 1976. Since the mid-1990s, it has been shown on NRK every Christmas Eve. The film’s leading roles include Ingrid Larsen (Princess Gulltopp as a child), Hanne Krogh (Sonja), Knut Risan (the king) and Bente Børsum (the queen).

Paraplyene i Cherbourg

Paraplyene i Cherbourg has the perfect blend of playfulness, beauty and passion that every musical aspires to achieve. Catherine Deneuve had her breakthrough in the role of 17-year-old Geneviève in this classic. Geneviève works in her mother’s umbrella shop in the French port city of Cherbourg and is passionately in love with Guy, who works at a garage. They swear eternal love to each other and want to marry, but the Algerian War is looming and Guy has to join the military. In the bittersweet hour of their farewell, Geneviève becomes pregnant. Paraplyene i Cherbourg is a sung-through musical, meaning that all the dialogue is sung rather than alternating between “regular scenes” and scenes with singing and dancing. This approach suits the film well. The story is so simple that it can sound like a cliché, and when the words become too banal, song and dance lift the film from cliché to magic. The music was written by renowned jazz pianist Michel Legrand, who won three Oscars, composed music for more than 200 films, and is especially known for his jazz period in the 1950s, when he played with musicians such as Miles Davis, Bill Evans and John Coltrane. His melodic blend of jazz and ballads in Paraplyene i Cherbourg is nothing short of genius, and the film has one of the most unforgettable theme tunes of all time. The film’s use of colour is also magical. Paraplyene i Cherbourg was intended to be the first French musical in colour, so the job had to be done properly. Parts of the city were repainted before filming, and the actors’ costume colours were carefully chosen to create the right mood. The colours are as vivid as if drawn with felt-tip pens, yet so nuanced that they never seem garish. Jacques Demy was an atypical director of the French New Wave. While Godard, Truffaut and other leading New Wave directors were often concerned with portraying the confusion of the mind, the powerlessness of emotions and the defeat of love, Demy’s Paraplyene i Cherbourg is a bittersweet tribute to life and love. The film won three awards at the Cannes Film Festival, including the Palme d’Or, and received five Oscar nominations. Cinemateket i Oslo, Dronningens gate 16, 0152 Oslo 2026-12-06 16:00

I år gjør me det heilt enkelt

For 20 years, Frank «Tønes» Tønnesen and Ingvar Hovland have put on a Christmas show. Together, they have explored the real challenges of celebrating Christmas: where to spend Christmas Eve, who gives a present to whom, what actually makes an acceptable Christmas tree, and whether it is really okay to decorate it in November. The answer to the last question is, of course, a resounding chorus of angels saying no. The rest is knowledge Tønes and Hovland have gathered over the years and now brought together in a new concert show, with help from Sigfrida and Johanne, among others. I år gjør me det heilt enkelt is a collection of Christmas songs for anyone who may not think Christmas should be about songs and concerts at all. It’s about handing over presents, cold floors, and whether the celebrations will be at Aunt Ingeborg’s or Aunt Gerd’s. And there’s one song about how even the brightest star offers hope. Ingvar Hovland is Egersund’s national poet and has written song lyrics for a number of Norwegian artists and bands. Frank Tønnesen has a unique ability to observe and portray everyday life, blending subtle humour with wry seriousness. Quite a lot of people call him Tønes. Tickets: kr. 549,- + bill.avg. 18+ age limit. Valid physical ID is required. No guardian scheme. Accepted ID: physical national ID card, passport, physical driving licence or bank card with a photo. Digital ID (digital driving licence or Bank-ID) and photos of ID are not valid. A limited number of unnumbered seats and standing places are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Doors open at 17.00. Show starts at 18.00. Please arrive well before the event starts, as queues may form. Venue: Rockefeller, Mariboes gate 5B, 0183 Oslo

Pushwagner

An unconventional and vivid portrait of an unusual artist. Hariton Pushwagner was one of Norway’s most distinctive and beloved contemporary artists, known for his unmistakable visual universe of people, apartment blocks, cars and machines. Behind the bold colours and repeating patterns lies a darker social critique of modern life, consumer society and the individual’s place in the crowd. The documentary Pushwagner gets up close to both the artist Pushwagner and the person Terje Brofos. It looks back on a dramatic life, from periods of homelessness and drug addiction to a major artistic breakthrough late in life, while also portraying his fight to regain the rights to his own art. This is no traditional artist documentary, with experts explaining the art. In a raw, cinéma vérité-inspired style, the camera gets close to Pushwagner’s everyday life, while animations from his own visual universe bring the art into the language of the film itself. The result is a rare encounter with the person behind the self-styled Pushwagner, and with the life, experiences and contradictions that shaped both the man and his art. Kunst på film Kunst på film is presented and curated in collaboration with The Art Trotter – a digital platform for sharing art that makes learning about art easy and engaging, with insight, experiences and a vibrant community.

Widowspeak

New York band Widowspeak return to Oslo and John Dee on 6. desember! Molly Hamilton and Robert Earl Thomas are the songwriters and the heart of the project, and over sixteen years they have refined their sound. They release their long-awaited seventh album, Roses, on 5 June. Roses shows Widowspeak at their very best, with roots deeply planted in timeless influences. There are traces of dream pop and power pop, a hint of the Stones and Petty, and echoes of R.E.M., Yo La Tengo, Cat Power and Neil Young. As always, the magic of Widowspeak lies in the interplay between Molly and Robert, and in how they complement each other in the band's two central roles. -- Tickets: kr. 300,- + bill.avg. 18+ age limit. Valid ID required. No guardian scheme. Valid ID means a physical national ID card, passport, physical driving licence or bank card with a photo.

TRANSponert – En musikalkonsert på skeiva

Welcome to TRANSponert and our pilot concert! We’ve brought together a group of talented trans and gender-diverse musical theatre performers who, with a live band, will treat you to a concert packed with bold, moving, catchy and fun songs from across the musical theatre canon. Expect solos, duets, trios and ensemble numbers, all with a unique queer twist. We promise a wonderful evening with a great atmosphere and even better music! TRANSponert is a concert concept created and performed by Mio Eggen and Gabriel Wilson Ness. It grew out of a desire to make trans and gender-diverse performers in Norway’s musical theatre industry more visible, and to challenge expectations about who can play which roles. Even in such an open and accepting environment, it can be challenging to find your place when you break with norms around your voice, gender expression or both—and these norms affect more than just trans people. We hope TRANSponert can help foster greater openness and gender diversity on Norwegian musical theatre stages, while also casting a fresh, queer light on familiar musical theatre repertoire. Doors open: 19:00 Concert starts: 19:30 Duration: 90 minutes (including a 15-minute interval) Age limit: 20+ Performers: SINGERS: Mio Eggen, Gabriel Wilson Ness, Sofie Lauritzen, Olivia Håheim and Elliot Hegland. BAND: Mikael Morvik Kyrkjebø, Allan Tolnæs, Marianne Bragstad Eid and Gilles Monteiro Teixeira. About ticket prices: Because it matters to us that art is accessible regardless of income, we use a somewhat unconventional ticket system with 6 different price levels between 150kr and 500kr. The prices aren’t based on whether you’re a student, a senior or buying an early-bird ticket; they simply reflect how much you’re able to contribute. We don’t want anyone to feel that their wallet is too small to experience our concert. If you really believe in our concept and would like and are able to support queer performing arts—or simply have a little extra to spare—we’d greatly appreciate it if you chose one of the higher price levels. All ticket income goes back into the concept and helps us fund future concerts. You can also buy a ticket at the door, where you can choose between two price levels: ORANSJE (200kr) and GRØNN (300kr).

Small Roads

The roads less traveled – seen through James Benning’s camera lens. James Benning is known for films in which nothing happens, quite literally. Films such as 13 Lakes, L Cohen, Nightfall and Allensworth consist of a series of sequences with minimal movement in front of the camera. In a couple of them, you can just about make out people in the distance; otherwise, they consist of static shots in which the wind rustling through the trees and clouds drifting across the sky create the dramatic tension. (And the fact that dramatic tension does arise is what makes Benning’s films so remarkable and unique.) In this light, Small Roads is almost an action film by Benning’s standards, with cars and trains thundering past the camera again and again. But not quite. Filmed over a period of two years, Small Roads takes us to 47 remote roads across the United States. With a static camera, Benning films the roads and landscapes, creating a distinctive topographical portrait of the United States across the changing seasons. The film prompts us to reflect on our role as viewers and the expectations we bring to a film. It has no narrative progression; instead, it is a series of moving landscape paintings, with a surprisingly rich range of natural sounds on the soundtrack. Drama emerges in the most unexpected ways, in the form of a bus that never arrives and lightning strikes on the horizon. One of the most meditative experiences I’ve ever had with a film. Steve Pulaski [James Benning] is a national treasure to be reckoned with: the Frederick Wiseman of stillness. SLANT Magazine Small roads is digital cinema as virtuoso landscape painting, depicting each two-lane blacktop from a central perspective, each 16:9 countryside highway glistening under the hot sun, shrouded in fog, or coated with a dusting of mid-winter snow. International Film Festival Rotterdam From a cactus-edged highway across a desert, through deep woods and along pleasant byways that could be in deepest England, through badlands, alongside spoiled industrial sites, past the surprising magnificence of telegraph poles, and, in one case, a marvellous juxtaposition of modern bright yellow road signs with a horizon of impossibly romantic mountains that could have been painted by one of the early American landscape artists.

Sy med oss!

Mend a hole or sew something completely new with help from an instructor. Are your trousers too long? Is a button missing or the zip broken? Is there a hole in your pocket, or are your trousers worn out? Do you need reflective tape on your jacket? Would you like to make a patchwork quilt for a picnic? Do you need a new makeup bag, pencil case or shopping bag? Perhaps you’d like to make a skirt, trousers or T-shirt. How about an apron and oven mitts for the barbecue season? Would you like to brighten up your sofa with a new cushion? Or make a harness for your dog or cat, a dog bed or a cat cave? We have sewing machines, an overlocker, thread, an iron, some patterns and a little fabric. Feel free to bring your own fabric and thread if you have a larger project you’d like to work on. You can get help with designing or finding a pattern, planning your next sewing project, or simply have someone to sew alongside. Beginners and experienced sewers are both welcome. Britta Kristina Bergersen, your host at Sy med oss!, has extensive experience in costume design for theatre, film and opera.

We can help with most electronic items, as long as you can carry them yourself. We don’t repair white goods or microwave ovens because of the high voltage. This is a unique opportunity to learn practical repair skills, save your belongings and contribute to a more sustainable future.

Sør-Afrika og Navi Pillay

Lecture by Andreas Liebe Delsett On 10 December, the Nobel Peace Prize will be awarded at Oslo City Hall. This year, it goes to South African lawyer, judge and human rights advocate Navi Pillay. Who is she, and where does she come from? Andreas Liebe Delsett (born 1984 in Bodø) made his debut as an author with the documentary book "Kjøkkenveien" in 2019. He studied in South Africa himself and was involved in Norwegian solidarity work for southern Africa from his teens. In 2022, Delsett began travelling back to the country at the southern tip of the African continent to explore life after apartheid. "Kapp det gode håp" is his fourth book and has received glowing reviews. "Kapp det gode håp" is a unique and vivid travelogue that takes us inside one of the world’s most conflict-ridden societies, introduces us to people and places, and offers an exceptional way into South Africa’s past, present and future. Nobel Peace Prize laureate Navi Pillay is from Durban, one of the cities Liebe Delsett writes about in the book. In his lecture, he will tell us more about her background and international work, with connections to international courts, Gaza, Israel, Trump and Musk. Welcome!

Sy- og fikseverksted

The sewing and mending workshop is for anyone who wants to hem a pair of trousers or repair a damaged garment. Bring your garment and the materials you need. You can borrow a sewing machine and get guidance on how to use it. It will be a friendly, social and educational gathering! We’ll put the coffee on and look forward to meeting you. Everyone is welcome, and guidance is free. This is not a course, but a place to bring your own project and get help with what you need. We’ll help as best we can, and if the challenge is too big, we’ll refer you to one of the local sewing studios. We use the “arrangementsrommet” (event room) in the library, just inside to the right of the entrance. After 16:00, the library has extended self-service opening hours, and you’ll need Oslonøkkelen, the app that opens the library door. This means there is a minimum age of 15 unless you are accompanied by an adult with Oslonøkkelen. Need help downloading the app beforehand? Get in touch with the library during staffed hours and we’ll help you. Drop in for a chat! If you’re skilled at sewing and interested in volunteering, come by. We need more people on the team and would love to create a welcoming community around sewing and repairs. Deichman Oppsal, Vetlandsveien 99-101, 0685 Oslo

Noen å prate med

Do you have something on your mind that you would like to share with someone who will listen? Do you need someone to talk to? You can speak with a deacon here at the library. Her name is Ann Kristin, and she is a deacon in Kampen and Vålerenga parishes. A deacon is someone you can talk to, who listens when you have something on your mind that you need to share. It can be about anything: sad things, happy things, something that has happened in your life, relationships, or something you are worried about. A deacon is not a therapist or psychologist, but someone you can talk to. A deacon is bound by confidentiality and will not tell others what she has heard, except in cases involving criminal matters or where children are being harmed. You do not have to be religious or a member of the church, and there is no charge. Sharing your thoughts and putting them into words can make life easier.
