ReindeerEva Weber

A poetic study in movement and sound, this film takes you on a journey to the twilight expanses of the Lappish wilderness to experience the ancient practice of reindeer herding or ‘husbandry’. Each autunm, 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. Once gathered, the animals are identified by various markers and distributed to their owners, who depend on them for food and to help with their work. The film explores the eerie isolation of the Artic landscape and capture the sheer adrenaline rush of the herding.
