Om studiet
In this course we introduce students to Sámi and Indigenous storytelling through narrative fiction and documentary filmmaking. Students will learn the basics of film theory and screenwriting from a Sámi and Indigenous perspective.
Indigenous films tell our own stories from our own perspectives. Central questions of this course are the following: How do our stories connect to land, culture, and languages? How is relationality reflected in Indigenous films and what is the societal impact of Indigenous storytelling through film? What are the specific ethical frameworks when working with Sámi and Indigenous stories and communities?
