Event Details

To celebrate International Womens Day this year, Pappa Sven in partnership with the Embassy of Sweden, are having a special screening of the film 'Becoming Astrid'.

Astrid Lindgren is one of Sweden's most well known authors and is most famous for her stories of Pippi Longstocking, the strongest and most independent girl in the world. When Astrid Lindgren was very young something happened that affected her profoundly, and this combination of both miracle and calamity came to shape her entire life. It was an event that transformed her into one of the most inspiring women of our age and the storyteller a whole world would come to love. This is the story of when a young Astrid, despite the expectations of her time and religious upbringing, decided to break free from society's norms and follow her heart.

It is a beautiful , yet heartbreaking film, that is sure to inspire and encourage women of all ages. (Not suitable for children). Please note this film is in Swedish with English subtitles.

In honour of Jill Emberson, and the wonderful work she has done to promote equity in funding for Ovarian Cancer Research, all money raised on the night will be donated to the Hunter Medical Research Institute - Jill Emberson Memorial Foundation
