A New Kind of Wilderness - Expat Cinema Rotterdam

Silje Evensmo Jacobsen

Miss seeing international films because you can’t yet keep up with the Dutch subtitles? Want to meet fellow expats and new Dutch folks? Love cinema? Then this is the event for you! Join Expat Cinema Rotterdam for the best international art house cinema with English subtitles.

On a secluded, idyllic farm deep in the forests of Norway, the Payne family lives wild, free, and self-sufficient. Maria and Nik homeschool their children—Ulv, Falk, Freja, and Ronja—and strive to live as a close-knit family in harmony with nature. However, a tragic event abruptly shatters their idyllic world, forcing the family onto a new path toward modern society.

A New Kind of Wilderness, which was awarded Best Documentary at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival, is an intimate and warm portrait of love, life, and growing up. The story of the Paynes, their triumphs and struggles, invites us to reflect on our own life choices, our responsibility to the Earth and our children, and how we cope with life after a profound loss.
