Folktales

The Closing Night Film of The 2025 Montclair Film Summer Showcase!
June 29

Weary of the often crushing pressures felt by members of Gen Z, three teenagers make the daring decision to leave the comforts of home to enroll in the Pasvik Folkehøgskole in the wilds of northern Norway. Dropped in the arctic wilderness for one year, Hege, Romain, and Bjørn Tore must rely on themselves and a pack of loyal sled dogs as they take the daunting step from childhood to adulthood. Freed of technology, social media, and the noise of modern life, this brave trio learn to face themselves for the first time — and experience an unexpected, wondrous transformation. Montclair Film is honored to present FOLKTALES as the Closing Night Film of our 2025 North To Shore Summer Showcase.
In Norwegian and English with English Subtitles

Q&A with Directors Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady, moderated by Thom Powers, follows the screening.
