Mawtini - My Homeland (Canada/Palestine)  

Grieving the loss of her grandmother, Nawal fixates on keeping a fig sapling alive, her last remaining connection to Palestine. When she meets Tanya, an older Indigenous woman and the resident trouble-maker in her new apartment building, she learns what resilience and connection to the land under colonialism and capitalism really means. 

Director: Fateema Al-Hamaydeh Miller. 

Oahpes bahá (Sápmi)  

We are taken into the thoughts of 17-year-old Elli Anne from Karasjok as hope and dreams are put to the test. In Oahpes Bahá, a dissonance is explored between the external portrayal of Sámi culture and the internal experience. How long can Elli Anne hold on to her dream of Sápmi? 

Directors: Silje Burgin-Borch and Vegard Bjørsmo.  

Ivikkisartoq Kingulleq / The Last Grass Seamstress (Kalaalliit Nunaat)  
 
82 year old indigenous Inuk woman, Marie Josefsen, from Nanortalik in South Greenland is likely Greenland's last grass seamstress, but her life mission is trying to prevent that. 
 
Director: Arina Kleist.
