Dolastallat – To have a campfire is an experimental short film, which tells about a Sámi woman going to the mountains in Kola Peninsula, and having a modern campfire with an unexpected creature. The vast landscape has hints of Arctic mining industry, and there is also a reference to the old Sámi myth. The work is also a portrait of its auteur.

Marja Helander is a filmmaker and a photographer from Finland. Her recent video work Dolastallat won the Kent Monkman award for best experimental at imagine NATIVE Film and has been shown at the Media Arts Festival in Toronto, 2016.
