It is the first Norwegian full-length movie done in the Sami language in 1987 and based on an old legend. In Sami its original title is Ofelaš, in Norwegian: Veiviseren, in English: Pathfinder.

Written and directed by Nils Gaup. Nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1988. The film inspired Hollywood to remake it in 2007, but it was presented as an action adventure story set in North America and appeared to be far away from its original.

Recommended by a twitter fellow, @zollrei2, with a remark, “A must to see!”.

A few moments ago I’ve sent all my friends a request to join the movie Facebook fan page http://www.facebook.com/pages/Le-Voyage-dInuk-On-thin-Ice/60867737760

Just want to let friends know about this amazing film made on a beautiful island inhabited with good people! Greenland with the town of Uummannaq, Greenland, is that place.

By the way… Ole Jorgen Hammeken is among my fb friends. It’s a man, who starred in the movie. He is depicting that brutal-look guy on a sledge, who was asked to care an orphan-teenager, Inuk, as his son.

The Inuk film is not on big screens yet. It is currently shown only on special premiers around the world. Each screening appears to be a big event. Recently it was appraised in Oslo during the last International Polar Year conference. Very good feedbacks this movie has. Hope one day it will make it to Yakutsk!

Enjoy the Arctic!
