Market Screening ‘Fram’

Presented by Lumikinos Production

Why do we do incredibly difficult things that have no practical application? Is there a parallel between geographic + artistic exploration? Two friends travel to the end of the earth in order to make a dance film in the polar wilderness of Svalbard. En route, they explore the history of our ideas of the Arctic, along with the grand questions of life, art and our place in the world. Sharing their love of discovering new frontiers, choreographer-dancer-filmmakers and outdoor enthusiasts Thomas Freundlich and Valtteri Raekallio take the viewer on an engaging journey to a place where few have been and even fewer have danced.
