Faith, Hope and Greenland is a documentary from 2009 by Ivalo Frank. The film is a poetic journey into the very hearts of the people of Greenland. Based upon interviews with leading representatives from the art-world including; film producer Mikisoq H. Lynge, visual artist Julie Edel Hardenberg, actress Makka Kleist and musician Peter Tuusi Motzfeldt ‘Tuumotz’ (whose music, along with songs from Nive Nielsen accompany the film), the four figures reveal their personal beliefs of what Greenland currently stands for and their dreams for a contemporary, Greenlandic society.
Echoes is a film about the American and Danish military presence in Greenland see through abandoned airbases and radar stations. It’s also a love story between two people who have met in the stunning landscape of history, in the sounds of music.
