"Les Feux Arctiques" (The Arctic Fires) was a joint production of art and culture students from three separate educational levels (Kemi-Tornio University of Applied Sciences, University of Lapland and Vocational College Lappia). The Sámi Education Institute and, as an international co-operative partner, the University of Versailles were also involved.
The way of implementing the production is unique in Finland and even globally. The première of the one-hour long film was on 16 November 2011 in the event celebrating the Laestadius jubilee in Versailles.
The Arctic Fires was directed, produced and filmed by students of Kemi-Tornio University of Applied Sciences. Students from the University of Lapland designed the costumes and settings both of which students from the Vocational College Lappia implemented. They were also working both in the production and as filming assistants. Students from the Sámi Education Institute participated in the filming. The University of Versailles helped with the filming arrangements in France.
