Fuglen filmklubb welcomes you to watch Whale Rider (2002) with us. On a coastline of Whangara, a young Maori girl grows into her own voice while the weight of ancestry and expectation presses heavily around her.The question is whether people should adapt to the old ways or if the ways should be adapted to the new people?

Fuglen filmklubb in collaboration with Landås bibliotek welcomes you to its second film-screening season: Winterspring of Folklore. As winter loosens its grip and spring stirs beneath the surface, we journey into stories of old and new, born of witnessing ice clashing with fire, sea shattering rock, lightning blazing the skies and human hands changing the world. Across four films we will explore contemporary visions of folklore and tradition, conflicts of the old ways and the new, and life perspectives of people of the world. We will approach them not as static carvings, but as a living tale that is never the same: a neverending and evershifting story by people, of people; a blooming force that makes becoming. And we invite you to join our exploration. 

After each screening the club holds an open discussion of the film where all attendants are warmly welcome to share their perspectives.
