The Homecoming

Sámi artefacts from the Finnish National Museum are returning home to Sápmi, while the holy drums of the Sámi people are still imprisoned in the basements of museums across Europe. The returning objects symbolise the dignity, identity, history, connection to ancestors and a whole world view that was taken from the Sámi people. Director Suvi West takes the viewer behind the scenes of the museum world to reflect on the spirit of the objects, the inequality of cultures and the colonialist burden of museums.

Me and My Little Sister

Loving someone of the same gender is frowned upon in Sami communities. Sparrooabbán (Me and my little sister) shows what it’s like to be a minority within a minority. Suvi describes how her little sister Kaisa wishes to be accepted as she is. Like her sister, Kaisa is a Sami, but also in a relationship with a woman, and she also works as a deacon. There are obviously more constricting communities in the film than only one.
Released : 23rd-Jan-2016

Märät säpikkäät

Self - Märät säpikkäät on suomalainen viihde- ja komediasarja, jossa saamelaisneidot Suvi ja Kirste saapuvat Lapista Helsinkiin ja tutkivat helsinkiläisyyttä erilaisista näkökulmista. Sarja sisältää haastatteluja, sketsejä sekä parodioituja musiikkivideoita, joissa on sanoitettu suomalaisia hittejä uudelleen pohjoissaameksi. Sarjan käsikirjoituksesta ovat vastanneet pääosanesittäjät Suvi West ja Anne Kirste Aikio sekä Veera Ikonen. Pääohjaajana toimi Oskari Sipola. Joulukuun puolivälissä 2011 sarja keräsi huomiota jo ennen alkamistaan julkaisemalla musiikkivideon "Leivämuruseni". Kappale on pohjoissaamenkielinen parodia Jenni Vartiaisen hitistä Missä muruseni on. Linkki levisi yhteisöllisissä viestimissä sekä lehtien verkkosivuilla, ja pian videolla oli YouTubessa yli 100 000 katsojaa.
Released : 12th-Jan-2012
