title: Veiviseren

overview: Veiviseren (Ofelas på samisk) var en sensasjon da den hadde premiere. Ikke bare var det en actionfilm som kunne hevde seg med de beste amerikanske, men det var også en fortelling om moral og mot, og den satte en minoritet i søkelyset. Legenden om unggutten Aigins kamp for å redde seg selv og sitt folk fra de hensynsløse Tsjudene hadde gått i arv i Finmark i nær 1000 år. Å lage en film på samisk ble først sett på som urealistisk, men da Nils Gaup til slutt lykkes etter mange års motgang skulle filmen vise seg å bli den største internasjonale suksess norsk film noengang har hatt.

Als ganze Sámi statt als halbe Dänin glaubt sie, keine Chance auf ein erfolgreiches Leben zu haben.

title: On the Other Side

overview: Nuppi bealde is a yoik in which the spirits of Saivo, the two-bottomed lake, are brought forth. The Sámi musician Ánnámáret's yoik melody first carries the video piece with a soaring treble, but as the piece progresses, it sinks into the depths, accompanied by Ilkka Heinonen's jouhikko (finnish bowed lyre). The soundscapes created by Turkka Inkilä first create an image of twinkling clocks, frost and spaciousness, but later shatter and are reborn in another form, creating an image of a different kind of world. The visual material of the work is a combination of ice, water, the spreading of watercolor paint and drawing animation, where the real elements of the landscape are multiplied and repeated and the black and white landscape is colored, fragmented and transformed.
