Greenlit: The Sleigh Ride, BBC4

By ⋅ August 29, 2015 ⋅  Print This Post ⋅ ⋅Post a comment

The Sleigh Ride (1 x 120′) – There is no engine noise. All you can hear is the crunching of snow and the soft tinkle of a reindeer bell. This film takes viewers on a silent and majestic journey on a reindeer sleigh ride through Lapland’s frozen wilderness and experiences an ancient part of the indigenous Sami culture.

A traditional reindeer sleigh will be rigged with a fixed camera to capture the unique point of view of a Sami reindeer herder travelling across the terrain in real time.

Deliberately unhurried and unrushed, the rhythmic pace of the reindeer will guide us along an epic two-hour journey that takes in the awe-inspiring beauty of a white wonderland – not normally glimpsed by anyone other than the Sami people.  The changing Arctic scenery will cover undulating snowy hills, silver birch forests, frozen rivers and traditional villages. And if we’re fortunate enough, maybe we’ll spot the occasional wild moose or reindeer herd roaming across the landscape.

With no commentary, music or presenter, it will be a unique and enchanting television experience to put everyone in the Christmas spirit.
