A New Kind of Wilderness

Friday 20 June 2025 - Thursday 26 June 2025

Cinema

On a small farm in a Norwegian forest, the Paynes live a purposefully isolated life, aiming to be wild and free in A New Kind of Wilderness.

Maria and Nik, along with their four children Ulv, Falk, Freja, and Ronja are self-sufficient.

They practice home-schooling and strive for a closely-knit family dynamic in harmony with nature.

However, when tragedy strikes the family, it upends their idyllic world and forces them to forge a new path into modern society.

 

‘This sad and beautiful documentary from Norwegian film-maker Silje Evensmo Jacobsen tells a painful, complicated story, more complicated than even the film itself explicitly reveals.’ The Guardian ★★★★★
