Overview
Reporting from the future, an exploration around an unspecified border in the High North turns into a philosophical investigation of humankind’s relation to its environment. Assembled from personal experiences, collected testimonies and local stories, Northern Drift presents a journey through the re-imagined contentious Norwegian-Russian borderland. Home to the indigenous Sami, it is a region where palpable climate shifts raise dreams of new economic prosperity and where remnants of past wars set the stage for new adversities. The film is a retro-futuristic science non-fiction, an anthropological document, a poetic appropriation, a travelogue, a labyrinth.
Why You Should See This Film
Serene vistas of snowfields, bodies of water, industry and research stations succeed each other, while humming, growling machines provide a constant background buzz in this journey through a remote borderland that has been shaped by successive occupations and wars. Northern Drift is an aesthetic, philosophical investigation of humankind and its environment
