Viking village brought to life on big screen
The Grim's Great Viking Village pop-up will take people on a journey through the town as it might have looked at the time of its Danish founder, Grim.
The project has been six months in the making and used gaming technology to re-create the village.
Producer Julia Thompson said the goal was to create something special for everyone to enjoy.
The exhibit was inspired by the ancient tale of Grim, a fisherman who rescued Havelock, a Danish prince, off the Lincolnshire coast.
The experience, created by those behind the festival Grim Falfest, will see visitors sit in front of a large curved screen and "travel" through the town, reimagined as a Viking village.
Ms Thompson, who was festival director, said: "Our Viking heritage and the legend of Havelock and Grim is a unique story that belongs to our town.
"We wanted to create something special that both children and adults of all ages could enjoy and bring the story to life in a different way."
The experience was created using gaming technology, vocal recordings, greenscreens and re-enactors in motion-capture suits.
Performing arts students from the Grimsby Institute played some of the villagers and the soundtrack was created by Humber Taiko Drummers.
James Nuttall, from the re-enactment group Lindesige Saeweard, said providing the "actions and voice to such an iconic character as Grim was an incredible experience".
The exhibit will run from 29 -31 May at Grimsby Minster. A Viking longship, built by local craftspeople, will also be on display.

The Story Behind 'Folktales' and the Arctic Refuge Where Teens Escape the Anxieties of Modern Life
In Finnmark, Norway, 200 miles above the Arctic Circle, stands Pasvik Folk High School. In Folktales, the latest documentary from filmmakers Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady (Jesus Camp, One of Us), the pair ventured there to document its students, teenagers effectively taking a gap year, hundreds of miles away from the distractions of everyday life. The school focuses entirely on building character over grades and discovering a way of life immersed in nature. Visiting Finnmark, at the very top of Norway, is an experience like no other. 'I was surprised how much the place would affect me personally,' says Grady. 'As soon as you're there, your nervous system just settles down.' Ewing and Grady discovered folk schools after listening to a podcast by a dog sledder named Blair Braverman. They then read Braverman's book, Welcome to the Goddamn Ice Cube: Chasing Fear and Finding Home in the Great White North. 'She mentions in one chapter that she went to a folk high school in the north of Norway that changed her outlook on life,' says Ewing. Once the filmmakers learned more about folk schools, they were compelled by the idea of a school where students could go for a year and prioritize self-actualization over academics. 'As filmmakers, we've always been interested in those moments that flash between being a child and being an adult. And we're very intrigued by the words says to a young person that actually launch them in one direction or the other. If you can capture those moments as a verité filmmaker, it's extremely satisfying,' says Ewing. Folk schools are a popular way of learning across northern Europe. Over 400 exist in Scandinavia, 80 of which are in Norway. There's a great deal of variation across folk schools; students can learn filmmaking, circus arts, or even how to live like a Viking. But Ewing and Grady focused on a folk school where students learn primarily with Alaskan Huskies to hone their outdoor survival skills. 'There's the idea that these animals can help a human become more human,' Ewing says. Ewing and Grady embarked on making Folktales guided by a set of key questions. What could help young people deal with social anxiety? What can a young person who's lived through COVID-19 do that can allow them to truly connect? And is there anything that can get a member of Gen Z off their phone? 'When we were scouting for this film, we met the teachers. It was their life's calling to do this work. They told us stories about how they're working with the kids, and how they saw them change before their eyes, how these animals and taking care of them bring out the humanity in an individual,' says Grady. The filmmakers and crew spent nearly the entire year at Pasvik Folk High School, observing every student. When it came to deciding who their main characters would be, Ewing and Grady were looking for students who weren't happy with the status quo and actively wanted change. 'Bjørn, Romain, and Hege were searching for something that they articulated clearly to us the first time we met them. There was a generosity of spirit, a vulnerability, and a tenderness to all three of them,' says Ewing. Each of the three students wanted something different. Bjørn longed to make friends. Romain wanted to get over social anxiety. And Hege wanted to find purpose after the loss of her father. A day at Pasvik isn't easy. The kids tasked with taking care of the dogs get up in the early hours before breakfast to feed and give fresh water to 40 Alaskan Huskies. Then they eat before the whole school meets as a group and goes over the day ahead. They often all watch the news together, which didn't make the cut for the documentary. 'It was fascinating, but we decided it didn't fit. Audiences didn't want to watch the news,' says Grady. The kids have plenty of unstructured time, but there are also big adventures, like skiing with the dogs, dogsledding, and ice skating on the river. One week a month, they'd go on a full expedition where they'd learn to do things like building igloos they'd then sleep in. 'It's like Outward Bound, but on steroids,' says Grady. While folk schools are places where students can get away from the torment of social media and focus on the world outdoors, they are not specifically designed to be a digital detox. No limitations are placed on students using their phones—should they wish to, they can be on them 24/7. But students get their hands dirty at folk schools, often literally. They learn a wide range of practical skills, including making knives, making fires, and knitting clothing. Ewing and Grady noticed something remarkable during their time at Pasvik. 'We noticed that over time, they were less and less on [their phones]. It seemed like IRL finally could compete with the scrolling,' says Ewing. 'Being in the wilderness and being with one another really gave the phone a run for its money.' Though Folktales takes place in Norway, much of the dialogue is spoken in English. Pasvik and other folk schools attract students from around the world, and most Norwegians are fluent in English. 'They're very polite,' says Grady. 'So if they're around a non-native Norwegian speaker, they'll speak in English. One of our characters, Roman, is Dutch, so whenever he's in a scene, English is being spoken. But when Norwegians are with each other, they'll speak Norwegian.' Following a group of teenagers has its own challenges, but there's a Hollywood adage that you should never work with animals, especially ones as demanding as Alaskan Huskies. 'Filming them was actually much easier than filming the Gen Z teenagers. They didn't care what they looked like. They were always happy to see you. Maybe a mount that would be put on them would fall off, but they didn't care. They were having a blast!' says Grady. 'They stand on you and knock you over. They're cool, but they need full attention all the time, which I think is great for these teenagers,' says Ewing. Throughout Folktales, it's awe-inspiring not only to witness the harsh beauty of the Norwegian Arctic but also the growth of Bjørn, Romain, and Hege. From climate change to gun violence to geopolitical instability, there's so much doom and gloom surrounding their generation that it almost feels like a better life is all but impossible. But all three subjects in Folktales grow, throughout the year captured on film, to be more well-rounded people capable of things they never thought possible. Away from the stress of everyday life, they have the opportunity to reach for something greater, and it's a chance they eagerly take. Documentaries have historically captured some of the harsher aspects of society that demand to be revealed to a wider audience. But Folktales is refreshingly optimistic. It feels almost like a spiritual successor to Lauren Greenfield's Social Studies, a fascinating look at the way social media affects teenagers, though one that's far bleaker in tone. But Ewing and Grady didn't necessarily set out with the intention of making a film with a positive outlook. 'We set out for curiosity about what happens in a folk high school,' says Ewing. 'Who goes there and why do they go there? What happens to them? The hope just emerged from the people—and the dogs.'

Meet the man planning to row from Massachusetts to Nova Scotia
James Tarantino has gotten used to people telling him he's crazy. This summer, the 63-year old is planning to row from Gloucester, Mass., to Lunenburg in a small wooden boat he's named the Heart o' Gloucester. When word of his plan started circulating in Gloucester, Tarantino said dozens of people reached out to say it couldn't be done. "[They say] the tide up there and the currents are too strong, you can't do it in a dory, you're going to die," he said. But Tarantino has a trick up his sleeve — a traditional Grand Banks dory built in Lunenburg. "It's a very, very safe boat," he said, adding that's what makes him confident about a trip that includes two nights in open water crossing the Bay of Fundy. "Semi-confident," he clarified. Lunenburg-Gloucester connection goes back centuries Tarantino will set out from Gloucester in late July with a dory mate, rowing the 1,100 kilometres to Lunenburg, rowing with his dory mate, Sarah LeWine, who's been Tarantino's dory racing partner for several years. It will take about three weeks, with Tarantino and LeWine stopping every four days to pick up additional food, as well as the eight gallons of water that they'll need for each four-day stretch. The dory will also be filled with a satellite radio, survival suits, life-jackets and other safety equipment they'll need on the journey. Gloucester and Lunenburg have a connection that goes back centuries. Gloucester was mapped by Samuel de Champlain in 1605, and incorporated as a town in 1642. In the 19th century, fishermen travelled from Atlantic Canada to work on the Grand Banks schooners that sailed from Gloucester. "All your best guys in the late 1800s wanted to come to Gloucester — they could make more money, they could feed their families better," said Tarantino. In the 20th century, that became a rivalry between Lunenburg and Gloucester over who could build a superior schooner. The Bluenose prevailed. Since then, dory racing has maintained the relationship between the two towns, including for Tarantino, who's been dory racing since he was 17, going to Lunenburg for competitions many times. "There's something about a fishing community, the character resonates, and there's a pride there as well. So it's fun to meet people from … another country that still share those same values." As he got older, Tarantino began dreaming of rowing between the two communities. He's not one to shy away from a challenge, or — as a former contestant on the television show Survivor - the limelight. "I always like attention," he said. "I'm a character, as you can tell." When it came time to have a dory built for his journey, he heard about a builder in Lunenburg, and made an appointment while attending a dory race in town. But when he saw the other dories that Andrew Rhodenizer was making, Tarantino was taken aback. "I said, 'Well, I want a dory — I don't want a [expletive] Viking warship." The dory, built in the traditional style, was bigger and heavier than the dories Tarantino was used to racing. Rhodenizer, who works with the Big Boat Shed on the Lunenburg waterfront, said the Grand Banks dory was traditionally used in the fishing industry, most often on Grand Banks schooners, where their design made them easy to stack, and able to carry an immense amount of weight for their size. Over time, that style has become less familiar, Rhodenizer said. "The kind of boat that we build here is a rarer thing these days … they're very traditional." Rhodenizer said they use traditional linseed oil paint and make their own pine tar. They also make the frame, otherwise known as the knees, from wood that is not bent, but cut from the roots and lower trunk of the hackmatack tree. "We try to practise really sustainable methods for going out and harvesting the materials that we use in the boats here, that's a big concern." Rhodenizer said the more Tarantino learned about their process, the more convinced he was that it met his need for a trustworthy vessel. "Using the construction methods that we do, you end up with a very rugged vessel," he said. "Truthfully, I wouldn't trust any other way." "We always say the dory is going to end up somewhere. It's just a matter of whether you can hang on." Journey raises awareness of tradition Wooden boats are hardly an anachronism, says Rhodenizer. Even as the community has changed, Rhodenizer said they remain an important part of Lunenburg's character "The maritime skills that are involved here are super important to us," he said "I don't know what the culture would be if it wasn't somewhat focused around maritime skills." Daniel Moreland, who runs The Dory Shop in Lunenburg — which has been making dories on the waterfront since 1917 — notes that at one point, every town on the Eastern Seaboard would have had dory shops. Lunenburg had three. The community doesn't need three any more, he said, though The Dory Shop still sells about 20 dories a year. Still, he's turned down offers to sell the shop for businesses like a tea house. "It's a pretty spot, a lot of people would like to have it for something other than building dories. But once you lose it, it's over." As for Tarantino, he said he intends the journey as a way of raising awareness of the importance of preserving those skills. Over time, Gloucester has changed. Groundfish have dwindled and employment in fisheries has declined. Tarantino said it's important for people to retain a connection with a sense of place. He said that in Gloucester and Lunenburg, that includes the skills that have characterized those places for centuries. "Whatever you can do to inspire other people to keep those traditions alive — once they're gone, they're gone." MORE TOP STORIES
