Silje Evensmo Jacobsen’s Sundance Award-winner A NEW KIND OF WILDERNESS is an intimate encounter with a family coming to terms with a new reality. For years, the Payne family of six enjoyed a slower-paced, independent life in harmony with nature on a picturesque farm.

When tragedy strikes, father Nik and the children are forced to sell the family's land and re-engage with the world. Jacobsen's unblinking, compassionate camera is there to catch every awkward step as this loving family builds a new reality for themselves in this beautiful blueprint for living, loving and respecting nature.
