West Nordic Film Days: Walls - Akinni Inuk + Sealskin + Father, Oh Father

The opening session on Saturday, October 10 will include screenings of the Greenlandic feature film Walls (Akinni Inuk, dir. Sakaris Stórá, 2025), followed by the Icelandic short film Selshamurinn (Sealskin, 2019, dir. Ninna Pálmadóttir) and the Faroese short film Faðir mín Faðir (Father, Oh Father, dir. Julia í Kálvalíð, 2024). The Greenlandic documentary feature Walls follows Ruth Mikaelsen Jerimiassen, a woman who has been indefinitely incarcerated in Nuuk for attempted murder, who is given an opportunity for redemption when her case is opened for review. In Blaðberinn, when a lonely five-year-old girl senses her composer father is drowning in profound grief inside their isolated seaside home, she turns to a magical mythical folk tale to try and heal his sorrow. And in the poignant short film Faðir mín Faðir, a woman seeks out connection with her estranged father by taking his remains on a tour of her hometown.
