Northern Travelogues
Pohjankävijäin merkintöjä
In 1917 Finnish explorer Sakari Pälsi travelled to North-Eastern Siberia carrying a cinematograph and 13,000 feet of film. The journey produced a unique documentary film and a travelogue. A hundred years later, director Kira Jääskeläinen retraced Pälsi's footsteps in the Bering Strait. With vintage and new film footage, Pälsi's notes and the stories of the local Indigenous people, the film tells the story of the Chukchi and Siberian Eskimos from days gone by until today.
