Suvi West

As a media assistant, she studied in Inari at the film department of the Sámi Regional Education Center [fi] from 2003 to 2005.

Suvi West's career progressed while still a student working in Inari for Yle Sami Radio and the Norwegian broadcasting company NRK as a television news and documentaries producer from 2000 to 2007.

Still, the strict predetermined format of television work began to make her anxious, and she feared that it would stifle her own film narrative.

Her final work in 2005 was the documentary film Vaikein niistä on rakkaus (The hardest thing is love), which humorously chronicled West's search for a boyfriend.

[3] West is especially known for the TV series Märät säpikkät/Njuoska bittut and the music videos shown in it, parodying Finnish hits, with lyrics in Northern Sami.
