The Cinema at the End of the World/Biografen vid världens ände

On a secluded island at the edge of the world, Nadine sits in her science tower, searching the skies for signs of alien life to no avail. After a stormy night a fuse blows, and Nadine is reluctantly forced to leave her house and finds a little town just below her tower. There she meets a group of children from the area who are trying to build their own cinema. Nadine believes she might be able to help.

A beautiful and powerful story by Bjarke Stenbeck Kristensen, who debuted with The Eel’s Key in 2024, set in Greenland, where the author grew up, and inspired by a real researcher named Nadine who hid her work in an attic in Paris.
