I "New Sami Visions" blir du tatt med på en reise dypt inn i hjertet av Sápmi ved hjelp av film, levende musikk og mat.

Kalle Urheim duo opptrer med en blanding av tradisjonell og moderne Lule-samisk urfolksmusikk.

Kortfilmprogrammet viser visjonene til en ny generasjon av samiske filmskapere. Fem av filmene er del av et samarbeidsprosjekt, "7 Sami Stories", filmet i landsbyen Kautokeino på den enorme tundraen. I tillegg viser vi kortfilmen «Northern Great Mountain», regissert av sør-samiske Miranda Kernell, fra den svenske delen av Sápmi. Kernell vant pris på Venezia Film Festival i høst for beste unge regissør og beste europeiske film, for spillefilmen «Sami Blood». Kortfilmen vi viser er forløperen til spillefilmen.

De seks samiske fortellingene i programmet krysser mange grenser, og flere av historiene som fortelles har vært tiet ihjel. Du vil møte mørke dansende krefter som hjemsøker en ung reinsdyrgjeter, unge jenter som drar på en farlig haiketur, og en eldre kvinne som ikke liker samiske folk, selv om hennes morsmål er samisk. Du vil høre den helbredende stemmen til forfedrene og du vil bli opprørt av en sann historie om prester som brente samiske hatter. Du vil også bli forbauset av tilsynelatende umulig kjærlighet, adskilt av naturens krefter.

Den prisbelønnede samiske kokken, Maret Ravdna, som driver Boazovázzi – Reingjeteren i Lødingen, vil servere et deilig samisk måltid. Hun er kjent for å ta vare på gamle samiske tradisjoner, og presentere dem med en ny vri.

Aile and Grandmother (2015), Silja Somby, 12 min

INFORMATION IN ENGLISH

In "New Sami Visions" you are taken on a journey deep into the heart of Sápmi, through film, live music and food.

Kalle Urheim duo will perform live with a mixture of traditional and modern indigenous music from the Lule-Sámi area.

The short film programme shows the visions of a new generation of Sami filmmakers. Five of the films are part of the collaborative project, "7 Sami Stories", filmed in the village of Kautokeino on the vast tundra. In addition, we show the short film "Northern Great Mountain," directed by south-Sami Miranda Kernell, from the Swedish part of Sápmi. Kernell won awards at Venice Film Festival this autumn for best young director and best European feature film, "Sami Blood". The short film we show is the precursor to the feature film.

The six Sami stories cross many borders, and tell stories that have been kept quiet. You will encounter dark dancing forces that haunt a young reindeer herder, young girls who go on a dangerous hitch hike, and an elderly woman who does not like Sami people, although her native tongue is Sami. You will hear the healing voice of the ancestors, and you will be upset by a true story of priests who burned Sami hats. You will also be amazed by the seemingly impossible love, separated by the forces of nature.

The award-winning Sami chef, Maret Rávdná, who runs Boazovázzi - Reingjeteren ("the reindeer herder") localy, will serve a delicious Sami meal. She is known for taking care of old Sami traditions, and present them with new twist.

The films will be screened with English subtitles:

Aile and Grandmother (2015), Silja Somby, 12 min
O.M.G (Oh Maigon Girl) (2015), Marja Bål Nango, 18 minutes

Northern Great Mountain (2015), Amanda Kernell, 15 minutes

Om GAMES THEY PLAY
I det moderne, post-industrielle samfunnet fortoner livet seg ofte som et skuespill. Mennesker spiller om kjærlighet og sorg, makt, status og identitet. Og noen ganger spiller vi bare for gøy. Kortfilmprogrammet FILMS FROM THE NORTH: GAMES PEOPLE PLAY tar for seg dette på både morsomt og dramatisk vis.   

De fem filmene i programmet har til felles at de utforsker hvordan vi mennesker interagerer, konkurrerer og kommuniserer med hverandre – gjennom språk, mimikk og retorikk. Av og til ropes alt høyt og tydelig, mens i andre tilfeller ligger all kommunikasjon under overflaten. Karakterene vi møter blir alle konfrontert og utfordret i ulike sammenhenger.

About GAMES THEY PLAY
In the modern, post-industrial society life often seems like a play. People act in mysterious ways regarding love and sorrow, power, status and identity. And sometimes we just act up for fun. Short film programme FILMS FROM THE NORTH: GAMES PEOPLE PLAY addresses this both with drama and humour.

The five films in the program have in common that they explore how humans interact, compete and communicate with each other - through language, gestures and rhetoric. Occasionally things get shouted loud and clear, while in other cases all communications is under the surface. The characters we meet are all confronted and challenged in different contexts.
