In this second edition of the Sámi Films Rising Film Talk session, the International Sámi Film Institute proudly presents upcoming Sámi feature film projects at various stages of development, each introduced by its lead creatives.
A remarkable shift is underway as Sámi filmmakers finally take the lead, defining their unique narratives in new feature films and series productions. This marks a monumental turning point for Sápmi, establishing it as a pulsating center for Indigenous film productions in the Arctic.
Driving this change is the International Sámi Film Institute (ISFI), with a solid international network and collaborations with international partners such as Canada Media Fund, Netflix, Disney, and The Academy, to name a few.
In this second edition of "Sámi Films Rising" session, we proudly present upcoming Sámi feature film projects at various stages of development, each introduced by its lead creatives. The presentation is in two sessions, with a brief break in between.
