About the event
WINTER'S YEARNING
by Sidse Torstholm Larsen and Sturla Pilskog and Are Kvalnes Pilskog and Vibeke Vogel and Emile Hertling Péronard
In Maniitsoq, Greenland, the US aluminum giant Alcoa Corporation has been planning to build a smelting plant for years. With the promise of economic renewal, Winter's Yearning follows the lives of the area’s loyal aging population and its stymied youth. Pictured against immense, isolating landscapes, the people await their plant and with it, the nation's possible first step towards sovereignty. (2022, RT: 84 min )
