Jon face aux vents
The documentary featuring reindeer herder Jon Utsi - Jon face aux vents – is opening in French cinemas! Here is the latest news from Paris and Pierre Tolcini at VisitSweden.
”Big success. 210 reported to come only 170 places. “Luckily” it rained in the afternoon, so all did not come. But still it was a full house. It always fascinates me that the French are so very interested in the Sámi! After the film questions went on for 45 minutes.
Champagne and dried reindeer meat before the film made an excellent combination.
Big thanks VisitSápmi!
The film is also up on preview in Nice next week. We hope that it gets an equally good reception as in Paris.”
