INTRODUCTION

Antropofest is an international film festival of (not only) student films which deals with anthropological issues. The Antropofest will take place from 27.1. to 28.1.2012 in Dobeška Theatre, Prague.

The festival is organized by a civil association Antropofest which unites young people joined by their mutual interest in social anthropology, especially in one of its research tools, anthropological film. Together they have decided to change the situation which, until now, did not give young people and students the opportunity to present their film work thematically connected to social anthropology.

At the festival, selected Czech as well as non-Czech movies will be screened.

The Antropofest offers its visitors not only the filmscreening but also various discussions concerning the actual film presentations. Furthermore, concerts and an interesting supporting programme will take place.

You can send your movie till 30th November 2011. The aplication form you can find on our website or we can send it to you by e-mail.

We are looking forward to your movies!

This film narrates the meeting with Sara Marielle Gaup and Lawra Somby, two young performers of joik (Sami chanting technique), born in the north and the south of Sápmi (the cultural nationhood of Sami people in North Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia). They have come together through a creative musical project called “Adjágas” which in Sami means “the state between sleep and awakening”.  In this peculiar state one can unveil reality and tune into the most profound and original joiks. Adjágas, in this way bring the musical-lyrical practice of joik toward the international musical scene by performing with musicians of different horizons, and adapting its performances to the context of reception. The protagonists express different ways of life and concerns, relating also to what it means to be young artists with an indigenous background, having to work a way into the musical industry. It is also a film about what in the waves of the past is worth struggling for understanding, and how joik brings together everyday life, politics and spirituality and becomes a language healing the pain from the colonial history of the past.
