Fra lavvo til disco

About This Movie

So, Fra lavvo til disco is quite the oddity, right? Set in Sapmiland during a wintery 1985, it captures a unique blend of Sami culture through music and performance. You’ve got Mattis Hætta back in the spotlight after his Grand Prix stint, plus notable artists like Mari Boine Persen and Ellen Marit Eira Solbakke doing their thing with traditional joik. The atmosphere is a fascinating mix of nostalgia and cultural pride, with a slightly surreal vibe permeating the film. It’s not just a performance showcase; it feels like a window into a world that blends the past and present of Sami life, with music as the common thread holding it all together.

Fra lavvo til disco has become a bit of a rarity in collector circles, especially given its focus on Sami music and culture, which isn’t often highlighted in mainstream cinema. There are few physical copies available, making it a point of interest for those who appreciate niche films. The combination of traditional and contemporary performances offers something different, and there's definitely a fanbase that values its cultural significance.
