Magnolia Pictures Acquires Sundance Documentary ‘Folktales’ About Arctic Norwegian Teens & Their Sled Dogs
Magnolia Pictures announced today that they have acquired North American rights to Academy Award®-nominated filmmakers Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady’s 'Folktales' after wowing audiences and critics at its emotional Sundance world-premiere.
The docu follows teenagers who converge at a traditional folk high school in Arctic Norway during a gap year where they must rely on only themselves, one another, and a loyal pack of sled dogs as they all grow in unexpected directions. Guided by patient teachers and a yard full of heroic Alaskan huskies, the teens discover their own potential and develop deep relationships with the land, animals, and humans around them. “Twenty years after the seminal Jesus Camp, we’re ecstatic to welcome Heidi & Rachel back home, at the height of their powers, with this visually thrilling exploration of the transformative bond between humans, dogs, and nature,” said Magnolia Pictures co-CEOs Eamonn Bowles and Dori Begley.
