About A New Kind Of Wilderness

On a small farm in a Norwegian forest, the Paynes live a purposefully isolated life, aiming to be wild and free. Maria and Nik, along with their four children Ulv, Falk, Freja, and Ronja are self-sufficient. They practice home-schooling and strive for a closely-knit family dynamic in harmony with nature.

However, when tragedy strikes the family, it upends their idyllic world and forces them to forge a new path into modern society. Filmmaker Silje Evensmo Jacobsen captures an intimate and soulful portrait of love, life, and growing up - and especially how we navigate life after loss.

Each screening will be followed by a 20 minute recorded Q&A with Nik and his family. The Q&A on Monday 23rd June for the accessible screening will also include subtitles.
