A NEW KIND OF WILDERNESS

Winner of the Sundance World Cinema Documentary Grand Jury Prize, A NEW KIND OF WILDERNESS follows the remarkable journey of the Payne family as they seek a wild and free existence in harmony with nature on a small farm in the Norwegian forest. When tragedy unexpectedly strikes, it upends their idyllic world and forces them to forge a new path into modern society. Through the Paynes’ triumphs and struggles, Silje Evensmo Jacobsen crafts an intimate and soulful portrait that invites reflection on our own life choices, our responsibility to the planet and our children, and how we navigate life after loss.
