Stoerre vaerie (Northern Great Mountain) accepted for Sundance 2015!
Yesterday Sundance announced the short film lineup for 2015. Over 8000 films applied for the festival and The film Stoerre vaerie (Northern Great Mountain) by director Amanda Kernell is one out of 60 films accepted for the competition. It’s the first time a Sámi film will be shown at Sundance.
Stoerre vaerie (Northern Great Mountain) is about Elle 78 who does not like Sami people – though her first language was Sami and she grew up in the mountains in Lapland. Now she claims that she is completely Swedish and from the south. Under pressure from her son, she reluctantly returns north for her sister’s funeral. As they are about to leave, she understands that her son has planned for them stay with their relatives over night. Refusing to do so, Elle checks in at the local Grand hotel with all the tourists…
Amanda Kernell was born in 1986 in Umeå, in the far north of Sweden, with a Swedish mother and Sámi father. Since 2006, Amanda Kernell has directed several acclaimed shorts including, among others, Det kommer aldrig att gå över (This means forever) and in 2013 she finished her studies in Directing at the National Film School of Denmark. She is currently working on her first feature film Sameblod (Sámi blood) about a young sami girl in the 1930’s who decides to become Swedish and cuts all bonds with her sami background.
The film Stoerre vaerie (Northern Great Mountain) is a pilot/prologue for Amanda’s upcoming feature film and co-produced by Nordisk Film Sverige AB, Bautafilm AB and Sveriges Television with support from The International Sámi Film Centre, the Sami Parliament and Film i Västerbotten.

Edith & Aljosja
Bautafilm is co-producing the stunning short film Edith & Aljosja, written and directed by phenomenally Ann Holmgren. The film is part of the Sami Film Lab by Sami Film Institute and we are working together with Odd Levi Paulsen on Julev Film AS. Ann describes the film like this: Edith and Ajlosja live on opposite sides of a river, and live separate lives, while they are watching everything what the other forts themselves. Ajlosja expresses an interest in Edith, but she ignores him, apparently. A simple story with magical-realistic elements, which can be regarded as an allegory of life and love that defies cultural differences.

UNDRESS ME awarded by Nordic Rainbow Cultural Workers!
During Umeå Pride Jana Bringlöv Ekspong, Victor Lindgren and Therese Högberg recieved the award Loke’s Sister 2014 for their film UNDRESS ME. The organization behind the award is Tupilak – Nordic Rainbow Cultural Worker’s.
The award Loke´s Sister for outstanding contribution to trans culture goes to UNDRESS ME:
“For it’s moving and painful meeting between a beautiful trans woman and a attracted but prejudiced would-be lover.
Confirming that trans culture is a crucial part of the global lgbt culture and identity.
And for proving that the colors of the rainbow streched over all borders – including the transgender – becomes not paler but more brilliant and visible.”
Last year, the award went to Ester Martin Bergsmark who made She male snails and Something Must Break.
The organization Tupilak started in 1989 to join together lesbian, gay, trans, bi and queer cultural workers from different professions: writers, film makers, musicians, poets, journalists, actors, designers, singers, translators, sculptors, publishers, dancers, artists, photographers, etc. Tupilak has members in Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Iceland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, the Faeroe and the Åland islands.
