From the very beginning, the goal was simple: to create a film that truly captures Kangia — its raw beauty, unique atmosphere, and magnificent Arctic Char. To make that happen, Jay Bartlett and Max Bartholin spent a few weeks on the river across 2024 and 2025, with most of the project filmed during the 2025 season.
When the season ended, we headed home with hard drives heavier than ever before.
After countless hours of post-production, the film was finally ready for release. Launched during the Christmas holidays of 2025, it quickly caught the attention of the fly-fishing community, surpassing 100,000 views within its first few weeks. But most importantly, it gave anglers around the world a glimpse of the magic of Kangia.
In 2024, our guest Jay Bartlett brought a camera to Camp North. With a passion for both fly fishing and filmmaking, he set out to showcase the camp, the fishery, and everything that makes Camp North so special.
The result was a beautiful short film that offers a genuine insight into what awaits at Camp North: spectacular scenery, incredible Arctic Char, and the adventure that comes with fishing in one of Greenland’s most remarkable destinations.
Since then, we have teamed up with Jay to create similar films from Kangia and Erfalik, with the aim of giving anglers a genuine feel for our destinations and what they can expect, while still leaving plenty of room for curiosity and anticipation.
It was a big moment for us when Yellow Dog Flyfishing decided to send their A-team, consisting of owner and founder Jim Klug, cinematographer Chris Patterson, and destination manager Josh Mills.
We were almost fully booked for the season, but managed to fit them in during our final week at Camp North. After three days there, we picked them up and continued to Erfalik, where the season had just ended and we had the entire river to ourselves.
It was a memorable trip filled with great company, unforgettable experiences, and lasting memories. And as for Chris’ camera work and editing – they speak for themselves.
Filmmaker Vaidas Uselis has come a long way since producing this film from Camp North.
At the time, we were only a few years into operating Camp North, and having the creative minds behind Black Fly Eyes add some of their magic was exactly what we needed to put this adventurous destination on the map.
A few years later, their partner Loop included the film in their marketing, allowing it to reach an even wider audience.
We filmed this production in cooperation with Ahrex Hooks and Coast Fly in 2019. By then, the old tent camp at Erfalik had been replaced by a beautiful new lodge, and we wanted to showcase both the fishery and the experience it offered.
We spent a fantastic week with the Ahrex team, chasing Arctic char on foam flies and capturing the unique atmosphere of the river. While we struggled to convince a truly big fish to take a skating foam fly, our young camp assistants seemed to have no such problems.
In the end, we hooked the perfect movie star – a magnificent coloured male char on a skating foam fly. Unfortunately, the hook came loose before the final scene. But that’s fishing, and not every story gets a perfect ending.
Side effects of watching this short film may include daydreaming about Arctic Char and an overwhelming desire to visit Greenland.
This year was a little extra special, as it was the first season since COVID. Mathias Ibsen and Max Bartholin were looking after the guests and camp for the week, but also found time to capture a fragment of the action on film.
Adventure, pristine water, chrome-bright sea-run Arctic Char, and the chance of connecting with a truly big fish. This film captures exactly what Camp North is all about and why anglers travel from across the world to experience this unique fishery.
Back in 2021, during COVID, we miraculously managed to run six weeks at Erfalik. At the same time, we had young guns and keen fly fishers Max and Axel in camp for a couple of weeks, helping out around the lodge, ferrying anglers across the lake to the upper river and basically making life easier for everyone.
What did they do in their relatively sparse downtime? Discover some hectic lake fishing, almost fish themselves to exhaustion, and shoot a cool video in the process. Kids these days!
Fun fact: Max is now working full-time for Getaway Fly Fishing. Full circle!
Our first Greenland film was shot back in 2008 by our good friend Niels Vestergaard. It goes so far back that it was originally released on DVD, which explains the slower pace and 45-minute running time – back then, a film needed enough content to justify a DVD release.
The film was well received at the time and helped promote our Greenland camps to Scandinavian fly fishers. Today, however, it serves more as a piece of history and a reminder of how it all began.
The first part was filmed on the Napiarissat River, while the second part takes place on Erfalik.
