Denmark’s acclaimed “Department Q” trilogy is set to grace the screens of the Panida Theater beginning next week.

Based on Jussi Alder-Olsen’s Nordic crime novels, these films (directed by Mikkel Norgaard) have been compared to “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” series, but according to the Panida Theater website, “these stories are even sharper.”

Catch the first installment of the series “Keeper of Lost Causes” on Wednesday, Aug. 17, at 5:30 p.m. or 8:30 p.m., followed by “Absent One” on Thursday, Aug. 18, at 5:30 p.m. or 8:30 p.m., and ending with “A Conspiracy of Faith” on Friday, Aug. 19, at 5:30 p.m. or 8:30 p.m. If you’re not available all three nights, your best bet is to see all three at once on Saturday, Aug. 20, beginning at 3:30 p.m.
