Film Screening: CONTEMPORARY ANACHRONISM: ft. documentary SOLITARY ROAD

The film is part of the CONTEMPORARY ANACHRONISM screening which highlights traditional ways of life preserved in our modern age.

SOLITARY ROAD (2024) documentary feature: Johan Palmgren: Sweden

There is a road in the middle of the wilderness, far North of the Arctic Circle in the Swedish mountains. It was built in 1955 and was supposed to lead to Norway. The work was interrupted and now there is only a fragment of a road of 20 kilometres without connection to the general road system.

Can you imagine life where there is no electricity nor any water supply? This feature portrays big and small aspects of life in such a place. (NB: This includes footage of hunting and meat preparation as part of their lifestyle).

Prior to the feature you will see SCRAP WORKS , a short Canadian documentary (by Maksym Putintsev) which invites you to 'get scrappy with our hero, a traditional master blacksmith busy navigating the challenges of modern life, having forsaken power tools for a higher calling.'
