REINDEER
ABOUT
Each autumn, as the daylight retreats, the Arctic’s indigenous Sámi people bring down thousands of reindeer from the surrounding mountainsides, where they spend the summer grazing. An impressionistic portrait of reindeer herding in the twilight expanses of the Lappish wilderness, this film explores the eerie isolation of the Artic landscape and captures the sheer adrenaline rush of the herding.
