„Máhccan – Homecoming“ ein Film von Suvi West und Anssi Kömi

In the organizer's words:

FILM SCREENING

To mark the end of the "Sami Horizons" exhibition, we would like to pay tribute to it once again with a moving film screening.
In "Máhccan - Homecoming", Sami filmmaker Suvi West takes the viewer behind the scenes of the museum world and reveals a visual, philosophical and spiritual world. She seeks a connection to the ancestors through old museum objects and in the process encounters the collective pain of the Sami people.

Filmmaker Suvi West starts to break the outside image of the Sámis for the wellbeing of the whole nation. The film is set in the Museum world in a turning point, where the national museums have to deal with their colonialistic history. The National Museum of Finland returned thousands of everyday objects taken from the indigenous Sámi people back to them. Filmmaker Suvi West takes the audience behind the scenes of the museum world, revealing a visual, philosophical, and spiritual realm. She seeks a connection with ancestors through old museum objects, eventually arriving at the collective pain points of the Sámi people. How can the damage caused by outsiders be repaired so that collective pains can be left behind?
