About Ellogierdu – The Tundra Within Me

The Tundra Within Me first premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2023. Following its international debut, the film had its Norwegian premiere at the Tromsø Film Festival in 2024. This year, it continues its journey at international film festivals such as the Sydney Film Festival and the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, among others.

After living for many years in Oslo, Lena moves back to Sápmi in Northern Norway with her young son to explore Sami gender in an art project. While researching in the wintry tundra, she falls in love with reindeer herder Máhtte – whose mother, the head of the family, disapproves of the relationship. As decisions from the past come to haunt her, Lena struggles to find out whether her and Máhtte’s lifestyles can ever be compatible.
