Zacharias Kunuk Film Festival: An Evening of Inuit Film (Part 3)听featuring special guest Lucy Tulugarjuk

Join us for night three of this mini Kunuk film festival, and for the final Ajuinnata at 看片视频 event, where One Day in the Life of Noah Piugattuk (2019) will be screened. In attendance will be the assistant director of the film, Lucy Tulugarjuk, who joined us for Q&A at our last screening.

One Day in the Life of Noah Piugattuk was named one of Canada鈥檚 top ten feature length films in 2019 by TIFF. More on the film:

鈥�One Day in the Life of Noah Piugattuk hinges on a pivotal 1961 encounter on spring sea ice between the title character and other community leaders and a government emissary, who has come to ask them to relocate their families to permanent settlements and send their children to school. Kunuk employs approaches he used in the previous films, but there are also elements of cultural comedy in the contrast between pragmatic Inuit and the odd, incomprehensible expectations of the government agent. Those demands will ultimately carry an enormous gravitas. Behind what seems to the hunters to be the government agent's incoherent requests is a policy that will mean a fundamental rupture in the lives of Inuit. [鈥�] In this one day 鈥� and this fateful meeting 鈥� Kunuk condenses much about Inuit鈥搒ettler relations. The emotional and historical layers in the film make it one of his finest works鈥� ().

We look forward to seeing you there!
