SUMMARY:THE 2024 SÁMI FILM FESTIVAL | JE’VIDA (IN-PERSON)
DESCRIPTION:The 6th Annual Sámi Film Festival returns to Scandinavia House this February! This year’s program will include in-person screenings on February 9 & 10 and virtual screenings from February 8 through 11. On opening night at 7 PM\, see director Katja Gauriloff’s critically acclaimed feature film Je’Vida. *This film will screen in-person only.* \nJe’vida is a reserved old woman who\, after her sister’s death\, returns to her childhood home in Lapland with her niece\, Sanna\, to empty the house before it is to be torn down. Upon finding the traditional headdress of an indigenous Skolt Sámi wife\, a šaamšiǩ\, the house starts to speak to her\, and suppressed memories begin to return. It is revealed that the withdrawn and distrusting aunt had been a victim of the assimilation policies\, and the niece must make a big decision. By taking interest in each other\, they find value in themselves and their roots. \nAn official selection at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival after making its World Premiere in the International Narrative Competition of the Tribeca Film Festival\, Je’Vida has been hailed as “a strong and assured filmmaking debut” (The Spool) and “an ode to the importance of home\, family and a sense of belonging” (Eye for Film). \nPurchase Tickets
