Fascinated by the traditional elk hunting in her native village, filmmaker Ane Helga Lykka chose to follow Sigrid, a young woman who has decided to return to her native village after studying music in Oslo. She has been hunting for several years, but remains unsure if she wants to shoot the sacred animal. Elk Forest depicts the hunting culture in Norway through the microcosm of a village, where elk hunting has always been sacred to the people of Engerdal. This tradition, which may raise questions, is not only a ritual perpetuated from generation to generation, but also a way to strengthen the community in the village. Between the daily life of Engerdal and the magnificent landscapes of Norway, the documentary takes us into the world of the hunters, their way of life, their questions and their values.

That's a great movie and wonderful story
Great video. Really honest reflection and authentic storyline.
A fine video, thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing this video!
I have recently returned from my 2nd trip to Norway and I absolutely love the country, the people and the culture!
Next year I hope to make 2 trips, one in the summer and 1 in the winter. If I can handle the winter, I will make plans to move to Norway.
Gorgeous landscapes and lots of freedom to explore nature... ❤
Such an incredible film.
It's a very interisting video! hunt in norway, part of them life and beauty of Norway landscape!
Thank you!
More of Norwegian culture than a hunt. But that's cool that they call moose elk.
Great .
There are these Germanic Bracteates with an animal and a human head on it. I think these may either be Elk or Goats.
I think either it's someone showing themselves off with a hunting prize, or it may be Thur and one of his goats. Who knows.
It is MOOSE hunting, not an ELK
You must be American. This is the animal that was first named Elk in our Germanic language.
@@faramund9865 elk is an American stag or maral depends on habitat area. And moose is moose..what you referring to is MOOSE
@@victorserbeen3750 in Norway Sweden they call moose elk and caribou reindeer it is all the same with different names! All good
No it’s Elk hunting. They’ve been called elk in Europe for centuries.
you speak english, a european language from England. In british english (that predates the US) the word for this animal is ELK., in Norwegian it's elg, Swedish älg, German elch and in French élan. So, in other words, to refer to the "american stag" as elk is WRONG!!!!
When you kill person or animal just for fun it doesnt make your more happier. Those poor animals could live, insted they die to enjoy people whith their "traditions".
No, these animals are food for those that are still in touch with nature.
Traditions are much more important than the feelings of a snowflake
