SUMMARY:FOLKTALES | NORDIC & BALTIC OSCAR CONTENDERS
DESCRIPTION:On January 10\, Scandinavia House presents a special screening and film talk of a Norwegian qualifier for Best Documentary Feature Film at the 98th Academy Awards: the tender\, deeply affecting documentary Folktales\, followed by a film talk by Oscar®-nominated filmmakers Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady! In this life-affirming masterpiece\, teenagers converge at a traditional folk high school in Arctic Norway where they must rely on only themselves\, one another\, and a loyal pack of sled dogs as they all grow in unexpected directions. \nIn Norse mythology\, the three “Norns” are powerful deities who weave the threads of fate and shape humans’ futures. Today\, Pasvik Folk High School in northern Norway aims to produce a similar life-changing effect on its students. Folktales tells the timely and heartwarming story of teenagers who choose to spend an unconventional “gap year” learning to dog sled and survive the Arctic wilderness\, in hopes of finding connection and meaning in the modern world. Guided by patient teachers and a yard full of heroic Alaskan huskies\, they discover their own potential and develop deep relationships with the land\, animals and humans around them. Through intimate verité storytelling and exhilarating cinematography\, Ewing and Grady examine humans on the cusp of adulthood\, finding themselves at the edge of the world. \nRegister \n
