A New Kind of Wilderness (12A) + recorded Q+A

Captioned

An award-winning documentary that began with a family establishing a life in the Norwegian wilderness, and instead chronicles the sombre months following their lives being disrupted by grief.

On a small farm in a Norwegian forest, the Paynes live a purposefully isolated life, aiming to be wild and free. Maria and Nik, along with their four children Ulv, Falk, Freja, and Ronja are self-sufficient. They practice home-schooling and strive for a closely-knit family dynamic in harmony with nature. 

However, when tragedy strikes the family, it upends their idyllic world and forces them to forge a new path into modern society.

The film will be followed by a 20-min Q+A with Nik and the children, hosted by Rhianna Dhillon.
