Exhausted by loneliness, social anxiety, and all the crushing barrage of pressures felt by their generation, FOLKTALES tells the timely and emotional story of three teenagers who leave the comforts of home to enroll in a traditional “folk high school” in the wilds of northernmost Norway.
Dropped in the arctic wilderness for one year, Hege, Romain, and Bjørn Tore must rely only on themselves and a pack of loyal sled dogs as they take the daunting step from childhood to adulthood. Freed from technology, social media, and the noise of modern life, this brave trio learns to face themselves for the first time, and experience an unexpected transformation.
FOLKTALES was shortlisted for the 2026 Academy Awards in the Documentary Feature Film category.
FOLKTALES Co-Director/Producer and Emmy-Winning & Oscar-Nominated Filmmaker Rachel Grady will join us on stage after the screening to discuss her award-winning film and answer your questions.
