Nordic Film Series Presents: Home Sweet Home
Upcoming showtimes TBD.
As Sofie, a single mother, is starting in a new job as home care worker she needs to balance the demanding job among the local communities’ citizens, and the everyday life with her daughter, Clara. HOME SWEET HOME is a warm and authentic story about what happens when you are not able to show compassion towards the people you care about the most.
“Folktales” is not only magical and warm, it’s also a bracing interlude of good cheer. The sled dogs keep saying, “Arrooo!” and I felt the same way.

In Oscar®-nominated filmmakers Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady’s life-affirming documentary, 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. In 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.
