Imajuik

A suspense-filled sci-fi adventure that draws on Greenlandic culture, myth, folklore and legends, with a healthy dose of humour.

A young girl flees a traumatic experience and finds comfort and refuge in the aurora borealis.

Minik and Hans are best friends in their early twenties in Greenland. Minik being down and Hans trying to cheer him up they look for an some excitement and a break from the mundane boredom. They learn about a claimed local haunted house and decide to have a sleep over to see what is real and what is not.

Vuogáiduvvan follows a Sámi reindeer herder in the far north of Sápmi, facing the rapidly changing climate and the disappearance of conditions that have sustained reindeer herding for generations. The film shows what happens when snow turns to rain, when rain turns to ice, and when ancient knowledge meets new challenges that cannot be solved the old way. It tells the story of a culture deeply connected to the land, now struggling to hold on. Through one herder's experience, the film explores the deep uncertainty that climate change brings not only to animals and nature, but to identity, memory, and livelihood.

The film covers the adventures of Mio and Nukappi as they bond and grow together at the same orphanage. Their brotherhood is evident as they grow into young men being trained by the local shaman. They face their biggest enemy, Kiinappalik, who commits murder to further their cause. It is up to Nukappi, with the help of Mio, to find out what Kiinappalik wants. By facing their greatest fears, will they be able to stop Kiinappalik or be swallowed by the darkness? Sequel to Among Us - In the Land of Our Shadows.

“Civilized” means “big spender” in Greenlandic. Using this Indigenous language insight, the film meditates on the connection between climate change and overconsumption.
