This week we're joined by film Director, Heidi Ewing, of Loki Films , chatting about Folktales the latest release. When modern life becomes too loud, a group of teens escape to the Arctic wilderness for an unconventional gap year. Guided by patient teachers and a pack of Alaskan huskies, they learn resilience and form meaningful connections with nature, animals, and one another. Set in northern Norway close to the Russian border, Folktales follows the journey of some teenagers on a’gap’ year at a traditional folk high school. Navigating the challenges of the remote environment, they must rely on themselves, each other, and a loyal pack of sled dogs.

Folktales premiered to widespread critical acclaim at the Sundance Film Festival and will be released in UK and Irish cinemas on 5th December. See more about cinemas to see it in via Dogwoof Find out more here or follow on Instagram
