  • A cinematic essay by three voices on Birgejupmi (20m)
    While Western frameworks often view the circular economy through the lens of resource efficiency, waste reduction, and technological innovation, the concept of Birgejupmi (Northern Sámi) encompasses an entire worldview. Translated as "to manage for oneself," "to survive," or "to master," Birgejupmi is rooted in an eternal timescale—one defined by reciprocity, self-sufficiency, social connection, and deep respect for nature’s capacity to renew itself. The background for the film stems from work conducted through ReCap ASáp (Regaining capacity in a changing Sápmi), an Interreg Aurora-funded project aimed at strengthening the Sámi knowledge base and promoting self-determination in decision-making processes. As part of the project, knowledge hubs were convened with Sámi knowledge holders to explore how Birgejupmi is lived within three vital traditional livelihoods: coastal fishing, reindeer herding, and duodji (Sámi crafts).

  • Borderline (11m)
    En norsk toller, en finsk tjuvfisker og en mystisk svensk kvinne møtes ved grensen mellom deres hjemland, og vikles inn i en konflikt om lover, språk og fordommer. Konfrontert med egne hemmeligheter, må de finne en ukonvensjonell løsning.
     
  • Rájiin (15m)
    The true story of two brothers, Niillas and Ande Somby, and their fight for the right to exist within the harsh reality of 1960s boarding schools. Here, colonial walls resisted every attempt at self-expression, leaving no room for dreams. The film is defined by what is left unsaid, tracing the lives of two men who would later play a decisive role in the Sámi struggle for rights, continuing to shape the conversation about history and resistance today.
