THE ETERNAL SONG
Special screening 17th of June in Grand Teatret, Copenhagen
The film will be introduced by: Aviaja Rakel, angakker (Inuit shaman) featured in the movie
After the movie, we host a Q&A panel with:
- Aviaja Rakel
- Rune Hjarnø (Nordic Animism)
- "B Joe" Johansen (shamanisme.dk)
This one-time event is being set up because we believe that an important story is wanting to be told here; because of our shared history with the people native to Greenland - the Kalaallit - who are in a healing process due to historical Danish colonization, and some of whom are remembering wisdom that we ourselves have forgotten, which in itself has led to calamity for both our peoples.

Synopsis:
The Eternal Song is a cinematic journey through timeless lands and their Indigenous cultures. Voices from around the world and across generations call us to witness the deep, ongoing scars of colonization on lands and peoples, and the healing that comes through ancestral wisdom. Entrusted with medicine stories, we grapple with colonial legacies, intergenerational trauma, our own fragmentation and culture of separation.
The film reveals how modernity severs our connection to nature, each other, and the ancestral realm, while feeding us empty promises of salvation, unlimited consumption and economic growth, and individual happiness. As we are drawn into the intricate web of kinship and honoring the living presence of Mother Earth, we awaken a remembrance. A sacred dance comes to life and we begin to hear the eternal song of Life itself, calling us back to belonging.
