THE GOD THAT DESTROYS
The film looks at the legacy of Swedish colonialisation of the Sámi people as an ever-perpetuating cycle of forced assimilation, cultural oppression and extractivist exploitation. With archival sources from the first half of the 20th century, newly shot 16 mm footage that mimics the archive and animation, the film creates a tapestry that intertwines Sámi cosmology with commentary on capitalist destruction.
