Roots and Walls

Saturday June 21st 19:00 - 20:15 at Verdensteatret in Tromsø

Welcome to program 2 of NUFF: Roots and Walls!

The second program of NUFF dives into the ways people discover themselves by pushing against limits: Cultural, emotional, artistic, and even metaphysical. Characters in these stories confront expectations, desire, alienation, and creative ambition in wildly different ways: through music, visual art, dance, fantasy, and transformation.

The NUFF screenings are FREE!

We’ll have an intro before the beginning of the screening and a Q&A after.
