TRACE is an award winning short film set in the viking age.
It tells the story of Baldr, an explorer who has seen distant civilizations at the world´s edge. From them he brings knowledge that can help his people make a better future. Now he must escape Gorm and his vicious clan, who seek to destroy all that can challenge their way of life.
The story carries themes like knowledge transfer, cultural heritage, and the vulnerability these have in turbulent times.
This movie is the first to exclusively use genuine viking language (Old Norse), and it is shot at historical viking sites in Norway.
The dialogue was created with the help of a professor in Old Norse and Scandinavian Languages at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. TRACE is an independent production with limited funding. It was made with lots of hard work, thorough research and a lifelong passion for viking history.
Written, directed, edited and produced by: Markus Dahlslett

Love you brothers and sisters. 7:51 This is the old bulgarian alphabet. Vikings are actually bulgarians scythians. Bulgarian are 72 tribes. Now are more. All Europe today are Bulgarians but the rulers of the world change it the language of the people in begining of 20 century. In Iran,Palestina and others countrys are same Bulgarians. Bulgaria is the mother of all civilisations. The most old country on the world. You must remember who you are,becouse masons hide about Bulgaria and the history from the people and created false nations from Bulgarians. They falsificate the all history of humanity and Bulgaria is the more big sicret for humanity and they lies you that greeks are first people on the world. I say the truth. We Bulgarians are with blonde hair and blue eyes original. First tribe on the world was bulgarian tribe Dulo. All kings are from this tribe. Yoy can hear on the video bulgarians words as skrin in 10:12. You can hear the bulgarian language on the movie series Vikings.
How refreshing it is to see a Viking film in Norsk and Norwegian actors-
Thank you!
l second that it's been great
to breathe the fresh fullness
of Northern air mange tak 🔥
All the real Vikings left Norway on their own or were kicked out a thousand years ago ~
People in Norway claiming to be Vikings because they're still in Norway, are like city folks in Boston, claiming they're cowboys because they live in America.
Most descendants of the Vikings who had the balls to sail weren't born in Norway, and there's a good chance we'll be speaking any language except Norsk.
Are you from Norway?
Love the settings in Norway, and the Norse language. Very unique film that delivers a quality message.
Thank you very much for watching & commenting. Glad you liked it!
I love Norway
A film about Vikings that has clothing and weapons fairly correct to the time period.
Wow, what a novel idea, other people should try this too.
I like that sort of discipline and paying attention to details.
Spears and axes,spears and axes..
Exactly. We see I think only one man with a helmet and it seems that they were in fact rare items. Mail armour too. Just an axe or a spear and a shield would have been the most common "loudout" for a viking.
Well, the tattoos they were wearing, weren't available till around ten years
later, so it didn't appear authentic to me.
@@magnusjohansson295 Helmets and mail armour were known since the bronce age so I don't buy that theory.
What a beauty, what a gem!
There is such a beauty to see people linked to their Heritage, and perpetuating it through Art.
Our movie has reached a whopping 1 million views! Thanks so much for watching! Skål! :)
any possible way to get a transcript for the movie or actual subtitles of the language being spoken (CC)?
Make it 1 million… and one ;-) what's the language spoken?
@@arthas5873 Thanks! It’s old norse - and some icelandic.
Vietnamese people watch this too
excellent film. Tugs at my heartstrings seeing the old ways being brought to light. Thank You for producing an excellent story.
Darn, they should have made a feature length movie out of this. A lot of talent here!!!
Yes! Everything they need is in place. Now they only need some kind of event, causing enough friction in their lives to incite activity.
They did, but it was exceptionally better than this and WAY more epic. It's called Vikings.
@@jenkins80526 The Original It is Excellent.
@@jenkins80526 vikings had alot of "magic" and stuff like that. Vikings didnt have magic
@@spud__ That show was just Excellent! So, did Vikings have a lot of magic or was it that they had no magic?
I used to read stories about Vikings since my childhood
Dope Viking movie, with Authentic viking language and location.
Ya
IMHO, this film can represent today’s time. Excellent execution, great actors, (and acting), beautiful scenery,...👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Baldr and his family were watching you from Valhalla , guiding you to tell their story, making sure you'll transmit stories and wisdom from your ancient one...
Amazing film, great photography, artwork like yours should be shown to many as a legacy from the past !
Respect guys !!!!!
Liguagem pt
absolutely ❤️ brilliant ***
Trace is a beautiful and authentic rendition of the viking era. I love how you used the old norse language and shot it in Norway! The battle is awesome, really great choreography!
Many thanks.
Great film, beautiful landscapes, amazing shots, love the old norse work, keep doing such a nice work!
cutting heads, wounding the enemies and hiding, hating every stranger...the wild viking life
An amazing movie.
The importance of the BOOK(means knowledge ) was as much sacred as it was with humans in other parts of the world in ancient times.
This movie cleared my vision about vikings. Living in the other part of the world i usually feel romantic about scandinevians. Thanks for making and uploading this movie.
Love and respects from Pakistan💖🙏
Definitely a better representation of the Viking age than anything out there I can think of, not least due to the dialogue (which I was pleased to hear have an Old Icelandic accent!) or the clothing/armor. Amazingly done - a pity more haven't seen this!
Thank you very much!
I have seen it
Wonderful work, truly! You have shown that even with a small budget great films can be made
This was an excellent and believable production, with a compelling storyline. The battle scenes were well-choreographed. The villains were suitably nasty. I really enjoyed this.
A solid set of production values. Research is very evident. Basic story holds it’s center well. This is a well crafted film .
A well fabricated film.
I love the close-up of a lone sapling springing back upright as the foot of Baldr the younger runs away from his pursuers or the distant shots of valleys, mountains or more near boulder strewn beaches. The setting alone gets you halfway to amazing. The quest for the box of technology seems awfully current. Maybe the US and Silicon Valley should not have freely opened the chest to someone recently acting like the enemy. Well done, be proud.
Too late now. Tipping point has passed. CCP China HAS the "box." CCP Third Way will "bury" US soon enough. Instead, of embracing post-Soviet's Russian Federation, America's vulture capitalists and neo-liberals drove them into the arms of CCP. What goes around, comes around.
This was a beautiful historically accurate period film, thoroughly enjoyed it!
So well done and such attention to detail. As a retired professor of Theater, Film and History I am absolutely stunned by the level of production values. You have clearly done your homework. The feel is so right and so true. As a man with much Norwegian blood married to a Dane I am proud of your work. As a Latter-Day Saint (Mormon), I have an appreciation from an entirely different direction. We believe that the Scandinavian people are descendants of the Tribe of Ephraim who were carried out of Israel long ago by the Assyrians and who traveled north for many generations until they settled the Norse lands. In my own genealogy Odin, Thor, Baldr etc. are very real people who came to be worshiped by their descendants. There is so much more to know. Thanks for your excellent and, if I may be so bold, inspired work. I will watch for more!
Oh, and the level of acting and directing (from a fellow actor and director) is first rate and believable.
@@georgeking6356 I would recommend to check out also the short film Ragnarok by Ragnarok Film where we made an interpretation of this mythic event: ua-cam.com/video/52qWvgcklWs/v-deo.html
Many thanks for the kind words, much appreciated!
Lol you no saint pagan
That was proper EPIC!!! Beautiful scenery, great acting, amazing soundtrack, wicked battles!!!! I love the idea of a chest full of ancient secrets!! Great stuff!!!!
Thank you!
NICE - STRONG, BRAVE, SMART ANCESTORS !
GONNA WATCH IN A FEW - KEEP IT GOING ! MAKE MORE !
Excellent work! The attention to detail, authenticity and realism really pays off! Thank you!
Many thanks!
Beautifully done,was captivated from beginning to end...Bravo!
Awesomness for real! Loved it! 💪❤️
Wow, a short film??? Hope to see somehing like this in the future. Great work for the actors, weapons and clothing use. This really was driven through passion and hard work. Sound was awesome and so was the lighting. Modern movies can definately take a lesson for the sound work here.
thanks Markus for the wonderful film. Coming back to mind those wooden shields and swords of your room. And congratulations....
Thank you very much!
Oh my gods, here comes Gorm and his vermin! Thanks for showing. 👍🏻
This is pretty awesome! Such a good work....what can I say: I would like to see more films from you....hopefully.❤
Kind regards
Markus
Loved every second of this. Props were great, storyline was solid, had a good ending for once. Well done.
To VALHALLA!!

@@lilviv lp look llloo in o
Great short.
Worthy of a full movie
Better cinematography, acting, and sets than a lot of the high-budget Hollywood trash that exists. A basic story, told simply, and the costume and prop designs looked very accurate - well done!
Tusen takk for at opplasting var stralende .Loved it. Thanks for the upload
A production design faithful to the Viking history with realistic actors as the ancient Vikings were, with raw faces and marked by the harsh life and the icy atmosphere, I am fascinated by the very dramatic music such as the battle scene and the impressive natural settings, At times I felt like I was in the 8th or 10th century the film transported me to those times, a very captivating script, I loved it
A great short movie. Thank you all!
ট্র্যাস ছবিটি দেখে আমি অবিভূত। এক পলক দৃষ্টি ফেলা দূস্কর হয়ে পরেছিল আমার জন্য। আমি নিজেও একজন স্বল্প দৈর্ঘ চলচ্চিত্র নির্মাতা। আমার নাম ম্যাক তুহিন, বাংলাদেশী নাগরিক। আমি ছবিটি দেখে অনুপ্রাণিত হয়ে কিছু স্বল্প দৈর্ঘ ছবি নির্মাণে আশা রাখি। যদিও বেশ অনেকদিন হলো চলচ্চিত্রের প্লট খুজে পাচ্ছিলাম না। ট্র্যাস ছবিটির পরিচালক Markus Dahlslett ধন্যবাদ জানাই আমার অন্তর হতে। আগামী ছবির জন্য শুভ কামনা রইল।
Very nice. He should have taught the rudiments of the shield wall to his village. Also, there were more men at the funeral than stood in their battle line
Great work!!! True to the times and true to the people. I loved it
Thank you... Total brilliant!!!
Finally, something that is not ruined by Hollywood’s rules
~ Tack! Efter midvinter, går det mot ljusare tider... ~ God Yule!
Beautiful language. Great story. Knowledge is Power and created civilizations!
Thank you!
The two bros dying together then flying together as birds was just beautiful film making.
Utrolig flott. autentisk film. Godt kameraføring, flott natur, språk 👏👏🇳🇴
This is a badass movie! Hail Baldr!!!!
Absolutely great short film!!! When can we have another. Skal!!!!
It is a great film. I would happily watch a series made of Völsunga Saga. Egy nobody made this fantastic mythological epic story in a great series about the Völsung family (dynasty)? Such a great story!
Also the whole Scandinavian mythology can be made in a great animation series, starting with the beginning of the world, the story of the Gods, till the Ragnarok and the reborn of the world.
Why nobody makes epic series about these fantastic stories?
Enough with ridiculous Hollywood Thor movies, we want the real story of the Nordic Gods!
How I wish there could be sequel of this short movie.
I am rating this with 5 Stars of 5.
Everything is Greatly Done. Kudos !
From the Philippines.
😍😍😍
Wonderful experience. Way better than what Hollywood is able to produce.
Many thanks for the kind words, and taking your time to both watch and comment! :)
Amazing. Cinematically done so well. You can truly feel the cold and heart pumping fear while watching. Even the music is paired so well with the climate and emotions of each scene. Kinda weird how everyone considers the Vikings came from Norway eventhough that country wasn't a country when Vikings roamed the earth. Vikings came from and existed in many different parts of Scandinavia and beyond. Despite that misconception, this film was done masterfully. Thankyou for making this and sharing your creative endeavor with us all. Well done Sir.
I really enjoyed this film, thankyou. Also thanks for the English Subtitles as my only language is English. There were too many amazing things about this film to mention individual events, but well done anyway. Will, Australia
Thank you for watching!
@@dahlslett The pleasure is all mine. I would love to hear from you if you have other movies out similar to this “Viking” Type movies, or any planned in the future please. 🤗👍🏻
Thanks Will! I appreciate your positive feedback and taking the time to comment our film! Stay tuned - soon the art work behind the film will be available in book form on Amazon. Cheers!
Start crowdfunding. You deserve to put together a feature length. I will contribute. Go raibh maith agat o dubhghaill.
Thank you! Awesome!
nice short film and a perfect production set and location. truly representative of a real viking life. the use of the norse language made it very authentic. congratulations!!!
