The prestigious film production "Folktales", the work of established directors Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady, is set to impress the American audience with its premiere on July 25 through the distribution company Magnolia Pictures.
The documentary provides a unique look into the educational process at Pasvik Folk High School, located in the Arctic region of Norway. The film follows a group of teenagers developing key social skills through daily care for sled dogs.
The initial world premiere of the work took place in January 2025 at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival, where it received exceptional interest from the specialized audience and critics.
The visual storytelling combines the exotic northern landscape with a deep narrative of community growth, presenting the process of mutual learning and autonomous development among young people in an innovative way.
