The King's Choice is a true story about three dramatic days in April 1940, where the King of Norway is presented with an unimaginable ultimatum from the German armed forces: surrender or die. With Nazi soldiers hunting after them, the Royal Family is forced to flee the capital. In the best interest of the family, the Crown Princess Märtha leaves Norway with the children to seek refuge in Sweden, whilst King Haakon and the crown Prince Olav flee to a small farming area just outside Elverum and meet the Germans head on. After three days of desperately trying to evade the Germans, King Haakon makes his final decision. He refuses to capitulate, even if it may cost him, his family and many Norwegians their lives.

"Tell No One"
Friday, April 20, 7:30 p.m.
2006 (R) 125 min. France/subtitles
Director: Guillaume Canet
Cast: François Cluzet, Marie-Josee Croze, Kristin Scott Thomas
The film opens by presenting a married couple with their friends. The couple, Alex and Margot, drive to a remote lake of their own where they go skinny-dipping and doze off on a raft. They have a little quarrel and Margot swims ashore. Suddenly Alex hears his name shouted from across the lake by his wife. He swims across, climbs out of the water, and is knocked unconscious. Eight years later we discover that his wife was brutally murdered by a serial killer. Though the killer has confessed to a number of murders, he has always denied being responsible for Margot's death. Although Margot's case was believed solved, suspicion of Alex has never died out. He was hit so hard before falling back into the water that he was in a coma for three days. Today, Alex is still deeply psychologically injured by the loss of Margot. He temporarily escapes his memories during the day by immersing himself completely in his work as a pediatrician. Outside of that, only the friendship he has formed with Hélèn Perkins saves him from total isolation from the rest of the world. But when two new bodies are uncovered near where Margot's body was discovered, Margot's case is reopened. At the same time, Alex receives a strange e-mail with a link to a video-surveillance web-cam and a time at which to watch it.

"The Devine Order"
Friday, April 27, 7:30 p.m.
2017 (Not Rated) 96 min. Switzerland/subtitles
Director: Petra Volpe
Cast: Marie Leuenberger, Max Simonischek, Rachel Braunschweig, Sibylle Brunner
Winner of the Audience Award for Best Narrative Film at the Tribeca Film Festival, the film is set in Switzerland in 1971 where, despite the worldwide social upheavals of the previous decade, women were still denied the right to vote. When unassuming and dutiful housewife Nora (Marie Leuenberger, winner of a Best Actress award at Tribeca) is forbidden by her husband to take a part-time job, her frustration leads to her becoming the poster child of her town's suffragette movement. Her newfound celebrity brings humiliation, threats, and the potential end to her marriage, but refusing to back down, she convinces the women in her village to go on strike, and at the same time she makes a few startling discoveries about her own liberation. Uplifting and crowd-pleasing, this charming, captivating film is a time-capsule that could not be more timely. The film was Switzerland's submission for the Academy Awards Best Foreign Language Film.
