Their women talk about the price they have paid for progress and of their longing back to their traditional way of life\, far north of the Polar Circle.\n\nNjuokčamat/The Tongues (2019)\nDirected by: Marja Bål Nango and Ingir Ane Bål Nango | 15 min.\nWhen a Sámi woman is attacked by a man during a blizzard on the tundra while she is herding reindeer\, her sister senses that something is wrong\, and sets off in search for her.

Can they overcome their traumas? \nGive Us Our Skeletons! (2000)\nDirected by: B | 49 min.\nThis is a film about a man and his lineage\, and it is the story of a century pervaded by racism\, oppression and the persecution of peoples low down on the list of “noble races.”\n\nEllos Fovsen\nDirected by: Dennis Møller\nEllos Fovsen is about the demonstration against the illegal wind turbines that were set up in Fosen by the Norwegian government\, who went above the Supreme Court’s ruling and still had them built\, creating an ongoing human rights violation of over 830 days. \nMuohtačalmmit/Snowflakes (2022)\nDirected by: Hans Pieski and Arttu Nieminen | 9 min.\nMuohtačalmmit (Snowfall) is an experimental film about the flow of water as a metaphor for Sámi people in the compression of modern times. The film also deals with the meaning of water as a sacred element\, pathway\, and daily source of sustenance for the Sámi people\, and paints a dystopia of how Sápmi will breathe in the future in the middle of energy and mineral policy pressure.

SUMMARY:KNIGHT OF FORTUNE | SCREENING & FILM TALK
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special presentation of the Danish short film Knight of Fortune\, nominated for Best Live Action Short at the 96th Academy Awards! Director Lasse Lyskjær Noer will be present with producers Kim Magnusson and Christian Norlyk for a film talk following the screening. \nKnight of Fortune (Denmark\, 2023) is the powerful story of an emergent friendship between two widowers. Grief and comedy come together in filmmaker Lasse Lyskjær Noer’s directorial and writing debut\, which takes place at a morgue where two perfect strangers — Karl and Torben — find\, in each other\, a shoulder to cry and even laugh on. \n“Knight of Fortune shows that in sharing the most intimate and often frightening moments with one another\, people in mourning can take solace in one another\, and maybe even laugh” (Eric Nelson\, The New Yorker) \nRegister
