The International Sámi Film Institute (ISFI) is located in Guovdageaidnu, Sápmi/Norway. As the only Sámi film institute, ISFI offers competence and financial support to Sámi filmmakers for the development, production, and distribution of films in the Sámi language. Through our own stories and films, we fight for the survival of Sámi culture, values, and languages. By telling our stories, we create our future.

ISFI’s partnership with the Berlinale Film Festival started in 2011 when we hosted our first Indigenous Film Conference. It was one of our first international partnerships. Berlinale, with its NATIVe Programme and NATIVe Stand, has played a vital role as a meeting point and home for Indigenous filmmakers to come together and collaborate, and has served as an essential gateway to the international film industry.
