GÁDNI - Documentary Trailer (early 2024)

Vast tundra, steep mountains, unforgiving weather, and somewhere in between, a few solitary reindeer. Set against the ongoing threat caused by climate change and environmental destruction, and the public discussion about different forms of energy production, Gádni explores the conflict of wind power plants and indigenous rights in the Scandinavian arctic. In the mythic origin story of the Sami people, the term „Gádni“ describes spirits that live in the mountains, and that thought them reindeer herding and the art of yoiking, a traditional form of guttural singing.
