The broad scope of this program provides richly varied entry points into the exciting world of contemporary Inuit Film.

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 These include Alethea Arnaquq-Baril's feature length film Angry Inuk, which challenges outdated perceptions of Inuit by presenting themselves as modern people in dire need of a sustainable economy, and asinnajaq's Three Thousand, which plunges viewers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.

Angry Inuk

2016, 01:25:00 Mins.

By Alethea Arnaquq-Baril

In Angry Inuk, Director Alethea Arnaquq-Baril joins her fellow Inuit activists as they challenge outdated perceptions of Inuit and present themselves to the world as a modern people in dire need of a sustainable economy.

Seal hunting, a critical part of Inuit life, has been controversial for a long time. Now, a new generation of Inuit, armed with social media and their own sense of humour and justice, are challenging the anti-sealing groups and bringing their own voices into the conversation.
