Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery
101 Queen St. North, Kitchener, ON, N2H 6P7
Join the Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery for this free screening of four short films as part of their Inuit Film Series, featuring:
Three Thousand (Asinnajaq | 2017 | 14 min)
In this short film, Inuk artist Asinnajaq plunges us into a sublime imaginary universe—14 minutes of luminescent, archive-inspired cinema that recast the present, past and future of her people in a radiant new light. Diving into the NFB’s vast archive, she parses the complicated cinematic representation of the Inuit, harvesting fleeting truths and fortuitous accidents from a range of sources—newsreels, propaganda, ethnographic docs, and work by Indigenous filmmakers. Embedding historic footage into original animation, she conjures up a vision of hope and beautiful possibility.
Arctic Song (Germaine Arnattaujuq, Neil Christopher & Louise Flaherty | 2021 | 6 min)
Nunavut Animation Lab: The Bear Facts (Jonathan Wright | 2010 | 3 min)
Shaman (Echo Henoche | 2017 | 5 min)
