    Disclaimer

    Please note that this is an archival film that occasionally makes use of outdated and offensive terms. Such offensive terminology is no longer used at the NFB. This film is therefore a time capsule from a bygone era, presented in its original version, in the hope that it will help raise awareness, educate and generate discussion.

    Animation from Cape Dorset

    Released in 1973, this collection assembles the first animated films to be made by Inuit artists at the NFB. Featured is work by Solomonie Pootoogook, Timmun Alariaq, Mathew Joanasie, and Itee Pootoogook Pilaloosie—all participants in the Kinngait (formerly Cape Dorset) Film Animation Workshop on Baffin Island, established to teach animation skills to local artists. The soundtrack features performances by Aggeok and Peter Pitseolok. Commentary is provided in a blend of Inuktitut and English.
