The short film program is curated by the Tromsø International Film Festival, whose representatives will be present to introduce the screening.
The Arctic is a place of thresholds – between land and sea, light and darkness, survival and surrender. In the short film program On the Edge, the Tromsø International Film Festival has gathered six short films from across the circumpolar North that move within these fragile borderlands.
Stories of identity, tradition, language, and belonging take shape through surreal allegory, mythic realism, intimate documentary, and quiet irreverence. Together, the films explore what it means to live on the margins – where resilience is tested and transformation begins.
