Inuit Film Series | 25 July

The KWAG Inuit Film Series highlights the work of Inuit filmmakers, artists and production crews as they bring Inuit storytelling and knowledge into the new millennium. The worldmaking and sensitive bridging of traditional knowledge with contemporary media throughout this series are expressions of arctic cultural sovereignty and resilience.

This series includes many award-winning favourites. These include Alethea Arnaquq-Baril's feature length film Angry Inuk, which challenges outdated perceptions of Inuit by presenting themselves as modern people in dire need of a sustainable economy, and asinnajaq's Three Thousand, which plunges viewers into a sublime imaginary university that recasts past, present, and future Inuit in a new radiant light.

All screenings are free to attend.
