Take a break from your regular schedule and enjoy a movie at the Swedish American Museum the first Thursday of every month this spring - at 1 p.m. AND again at 7 p.m.

Reservations are required and can be made via email (museum@samac.org). This event is free; coffee and sandwiches are available for purchase.

This spring we will be showing all ten episodes from the first season of the Swedish and Danish collaboration, The Bridge (Bron/Broen). Two hour-long episodes will be shown during each Film Thursday from February to June.

About The Bridge (Season One): A woman is found murdered in the middle of the Oresund Bridge, on the border between Sweden and Denmark. Police from both countries are called to the scene and what looks like one murder, turns out to be two. It’s a spectacular double murder: the bodies have been brutally cut in half at the waist and put together to form a single corpse. It’s also just the beginning of a wave of violence the likes of which no one has ever seen before. Both police forces find themselves in a race against the clock in a deadly showdown with a superior enemy, and no one will be the same when it’s over.
