Northern Travelogues will be screened in Tromsø in Norway

29.11.2021

Northern Travelogues, a film directed by Kira Jääskeläinen, will be screened 2.12.2021 in Tromsø in Norway at Cinemateket – Verdensteatret. The screening is part of the Polar Vin og Viten series. The screening is arranged in cooperation with the Polar Museum of Tromsø. 

In 1917 Finnish explorer Sakari Pälsi travelled to Northeastern Siberia carrying a cinematograph and 13,000 feet of film with him. The journey produced a unique documentary film and a travelogue. A hundred years later director Kira Jääskeläinen returns to the Bering Strait in Pälsi's footsteps. Combining old and new film footage, Pälsi's notes and the stories of the local indigenous peoples, the film highlights the story of the Chukchi and Siberian Eskimos from bygone days till today.
