SUMMARY:KWAG Inuit Film Series (Shorts Program 1)
DESCRIPTION:Join the Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery for this free screening
  of three short films as part of their Inuit Film Series\, featuring:\n\n&
 nbsp\;\n\nNalujuk Night (Jennie Williams | 2021 |13 min)\n\n\nAn up close 
 look at an exhilarating\, and sometimes terrifying\, Labrador Inuit tradit
 ion. Every January 6th from the dark of the Nunatsiavut night\, the Naluju
 it appear on the sea ice. They walk on two legs\, yet their faces are anim
 alistic\, skeletal\, and otherworldly. Snow crunches underfoot as they app
 roach their destination: the Inuit community of Nain. Despite the frights\
 , Nalujuk Night is a beloved annual event\, showing that sometimes it can
  be fun to be scared. Rarely witnessed outside of Nunatsiavut\, this annua
 l event is an exciting chance for Inuit\, young and old\, to prove their c
 ourage and come together as a community to celebrate culture and tradition
 .\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nBeing Prepared (Carol Kunnuk | 2021 | 9 min)\n\nAs the glo
 bal pandemic reaches into the Arctic Archipelago\, Inuk filmmaker Carol Ku
 nnuk documents how unfamiliar new protocols affect her family and communit
 y. Her vividly specific soundtrack juxtaposes snippets from local radio br
 oadcasts\, issuing health advisories in both Inuktitut and English\, with 
 the sweet sounds of children at play. A richly detailed and tender account
  of disruption and adjustment.\n&nbsp\;\n\nEvan's Drum (Ossie Michelin | 2
 021 | 14 min)\nAn adventurous  young boy and his determined mother share 
 a passion for Inuit drum dancing in Happy Valley-Goose Bay. Evan’s Drum
  is a joyful visit to a family’s loving home\, and an uplifting story of
  cultural pride. After generations of silence\, the rhythm of the traditio
 nal Inuit drum has returned to Labrador\, and seven-year-old Evan is part 
 of the new generation that will keep its heartbeat strong.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nF
