Folktales
About this event
This June, Mammoth - A Climate Action Cinema is joining the Great Big Green Week 2026 and celebrating its third birthday with a whole week of screenings!
Folktales tells the timely and emotional story of teenagers who choose to spend an unconventional “gap year” learning to dog sled and survive the Arctic wilderness, in hopes of finding connection and meaning in the modern world. Guided by patient teachers and a yard full of Alaskan huskies, they discover their own potential and develop deep relationships with the land, animals and humans around them.
For nearly two centuries, Scandinavian folk high schools - some of which are rooted in the lessons of Norse mythology - have emphasized the power of nature, simplicity, and community to transform young lives.
Today, Pasvik Folk High School in northern Norway aims to produce a similar life-changing effect on its students.
“We hope we can wake up your Stone Age brain,” Pasvik instructor Iselin tells her students.
