Documentary Film Screening - A Century After Nanook, 100 ᐊᕐᕌᒍᐃᑦ ᓇᓅᑉ ᑭᖑᓂᖓᓂ

This documentary project tells the story of Nanook of the North through the perspectives of the Inuit from Inukjuak, Nunavik, Canada—the village where it was filmed. Albeit often staged, Nanook was the first significant non-fiction film ever released. A Century After Nanook revisits the iconic film on its hundredth anniversary, allowing the Inuit to tell their story, from both sides of the lens, about the impact Nanook had on their community and the drastic environmental and cultural changes to Inukjuak over that time.

Runtime 87 minutes; view the trailer here.

The screening will be followed by a discussion with special guest Kirk French, the film’s director, and NC State University climate scholars.
