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.
