Emma and Lina are passionate about motorsport in the Västerbotten countryside in Northern Sweden. Throughout a folk racing season, we gain a rare glimpse into their lives and dreams — around the kitchen table, in the garage, and on the racetrack.
Together with their cars, the two young women in their 20s from inland Västerbotten are the stars of this documentary. Emma and Linnea are always in the driver's seat, although dads, boyfriends, race buddies, family and pets appear in supporting roles. Over the course of a year, Folkrace follows their journey through racing competitions, working in the garage, and emotional rollercoasters. .
Directors Jakob Arevärn and Fredrik Oskarsson, the creators behind the acclaimed documentary EPA – winner of The Tromsø Palm Award 2021 – take us on yet another journey into a motor culture filled with community, family, and clogs.
Fredrik Oskarsson is a documentary filmmaker from inland Västerbotten, now living in Umeå. He is currently working on three documentaries scheduled to premiere in 2025.
Jakob Arevärn is a director, residing in Umeå. In 2025, his short film Epadunk will have its premiere at Gothenburg Film Festival.
