Kaisa's Enchanted Forest is a beautiful film that tells the story of a Nordic people who have almost disappeared: the Skolt Sami. These hard-pressed people are also this year's people at Riddu Ri\u0111\u0111u. Take the opportunity to get to know their culture when we screen the film on 1 June!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Time<\/strong>: 1 June at 19.00 The starting point for the film is Swiss writer Robert Crottet's fascination with a people who, throughout history, have been deprived of land and cultural heritage. After dreaming about them in a tuberculosis sanatorium in the 1930s, he travels north to live with the Skolt Sami in northern Finland. Here he develops a close friendship with the matriarch Kaisa, who among other things gives him an insight into the rich fairytale tradition of the Skolt Sami.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Using Crottet's books, photos, videos and sound recordings, director Katja Gauriloff - Kaisa's own great-granddaughter - has created both a rich family chronicle and a magical snapshot of a meeting between two cultures. With poetic animations depicting the legends of the Skolt Sami, and a rich sound archive of Kaisa's subtle personality and storytelling style, this is an intimate and warm portrait of a time, a place and a people. Kaisa was director Katja Gauriloff's great-grandmother, and one of the last cultural memory bearers and storytellers of the Skolt Sami.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Katja Gauriloff<\/strong> (b. 1972) is a Finnish documentary filmmaker with Sami roots. She studied film directing at TAMK in Tampere, Finland and is co-owner of the production company Oktober.
