Eskimo is a Norwegian–Danish adventure and drama film from 1930 directed by George Schnéevoigt.[1][2][3] It starred Mona Mårtenson, Paul Richter, and Henki Kolstad, for whom it was his film debut at age 14.[4][5] Had it not been for the fact that Denmark was also involved in the production, Eskimo would have been considered the first feature-length Norwegian sound film (rather than Den store barnedåpen from 1931). The language in the film is Norwegian.
