Dear Arctic
Dear Arctic is a documentary film about researchers at the Arctic Center at the University of Lapland, Rovaniemi. The documentary transports the viewer from Rovaniemi to fieldwork in the lands of arctic indigenous peoples and reindeer herders to Siberia, to climate change research in Iceland and Greenland, and back to Finland to the inner reflection of critical arctic research and research work. In the film, six researchers from three different research areas open their work. The Arctic Center is better known internationally than within Finland, and the documentary increases awareness of its unique activities, especially in the research center's home country. The film brings Arctic research closer to the public in an easily understandable form.
