Kalaallit Nunaat—Greenland—is a country with a rich cultural heritage and a long history as a European colony. It was first brought under Norwegian control in the 13th century, and later came under Danish rule in 1814. Isolated for centuries, Greenland began to experience a growing sense of national identity and a desire for self-determination in the 20th century. This movement sparked a process of decolonization, culminating in 1979 when Greenland gained the status of an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark.
However, this partial decolonization disrupted traditional Greenlandic ways of life and gave rise to various social challenges. Despite these difficulties, Greenland has steadily advanced toward greater autonomy, most notably through the 2008 referendum that granted it expanded powers, including control over its natural resources and judicial system.
Today, Greenland is widely seen as a nation on a path toward full independence. Yet echoes of its colonial past persist—most notably in the controversial proposal by the U.S. government to purchase the territory, which was met with widespread outrage and rejection by both Greenland and Denmark. No nation, culture, or way of life should ever be treated as a commodity.
Explore the vibrant and evolving film scene of Greenland, where talented Greenlandic filmmakers share powerful, diverse stories in the Greenlandic language.
From suspenseful thrillers and gripping documentaries to imaginative fantasy films, this exceptional collection showcases and celebrates Greenland's unique voice and its growing contribution to global cinema.
