Folktales

On the precipice of adulthood, teenagers converge at a traditional folk high school in Arctic Norway. Dropped at the edge of the world, they must rely on only themselves, one another, and a loyal pack of sled dogs as they all grow in unexpected directions. Modern documentary masters Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady (Jesus Camp, Norman Lear: Just Another Version of You) transport us into the world of these teens and their unforgettable canine companions. FOLKTALES is a vibrant, intimate film that beautifully captures its subjects’ life-changing experiences. 

In English and Norwegian with English subtitles
