Fika with Bjarne
Join filmmaker Bjarne Salen for a special evening screening of three unreleased episodes from his new series Fika With Bjarne. Filmed in a raw, cinematic style, the series follows Bjarne as he steps into the everyday lives of athletes and public figures, leading to intimate conversations over a traditional Swedish “fika”: a simple coffee break centered around slowing down and connecting. It’s a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the real people, honest, personal and not yet seen anywhere. The evening will include a giveaway to raise money for CB State of Mind, with great prizes for a great cause. Presented in partnership with Bjarne Salen and Crested Butte Film Festival.
