Film club presenting Nordic cinema screenings at Tower Cinema on the first Tuesday of every month.
Pappa Sven's Nordic Film Club is bringing Nordic cinema to Tower Cinema in Newcastle, with screenings running on the first Tuesday of every month from 7 April through to 31 December 2026. It's a recurring thing rather than a one-off, so if you miss one, there's another coming around a few weeks later.
The club's whole point is to showcase the best of Nordic cinema, and they describe it as a way to transport yourself into Nordic life through film. It's not just about the movies themselves, but about the region they come from — the stories, the landscapes, and the way of life that shapes them. If you've ever been curious about cinema from the North, this is a steady way to work your way through it without having to hunt down titles on your own.
Everything happens at Tower Cinema, at 183 King Street, Newcastle NSW 2300. It's a central spot on King Street, so it's easy to get to whether you're coming from the city centre or heading in from the suburbs. The venue welcomes people with access needs, and disabled access is available upon enquiry with the operator, so if you've got specific requirements, it's worth checking in with them before you head over.

Since it runs on the first Tuesday of every month, you can mark it in your calendar as a regular thing rather than a one-off date. The programme kicks off on 7 April and keeps going until 31 December, so there are plenty of screenings to choose from across the year. If you're into Nordic film, it's a good excuse to make a night of it on King Street once a month.
