ART HOUSE – Ellos eatnu – La elva leve
Premiere: 5.5.2023
Length: 124 min
Based on true events, “Let the River Flow” (Ellos eatnu) takes place in the midst of the dramatic dispute of the late 1970s and early 1980s, where a grassroots movement led by the Sámi community rose up to resist the construction of a hydroelectric power plant on the Alta River in northern Norway – while also defending the rights of the Sámi people to exist. In the film, Ester (Ella Marie Hætta Isaksen), a teacher accustomed to concealing her Sámi identity, finds herself in a situation where hiding her background from the surrounding society no longer feels possible amidst the events in Alta. Eventually, Ester would even be willing to sacrifice her life for her people. Ole Giæver’s film is a poignant depiction of finding one’s own voice and the courage to stand up for oneself and one’s rights. It tells the story of historically groundbreaking events that sparked a universal conversation about indigenous rights.
