THE 7 SÁMI STORIES gives voice to contemporary Sami screen storytellers, embodying visions of a new generation of Sami filmmakers, made as a collaborative project.
7 directors and three producers each shot a film, in a span of six weeks, using the same film team, in the village Kautokeino on the vast tundra of Sápmi.
THE 7 SÁMI STORIES cross many borders, telling the stories that have been kept silent.

Ellos Sapmi is the story of the charismatic womanizer Klemet, whose leadership is deprived and who is betrayed by his own people. Naked hippie ladies, sex and bombs adorn this rebellious comedy, revealing the truth about what really happened when the first, Sami Parliament was formed. Ellos Sápmi is one revolutionary depiction of a historical event, based on a true story of no less than Niillas A. Somby, who also is the co-writer.

The FISDN present film series focused on different countries and regions. This section intends to discover and explore different spaces and cultures with the aim to understand the specific regional, political and social circumstances, do reconstruct the emotional and intellectual spécificities of a special region or country. In this critical work we belief it's essencial to prefer films which rufuse, in its form and expression, the retake of sterotype ways of reality restituition, as an act of resistance in the actual period of "globalisation", which inclins to impose one dominating model of culture and habitutes.
