 nIn this short film\, Inuk artist Asinnajaq plunges us into a sublime imag

 recast the present\, past and future of her people in a radiant new light.

 tic representation of the Inuit\, harvesting fleeting truths and fortuitou
 s accidents from a range of sources—newsreels\, propaganda\, ethnographi
 c docs\, and work by Indigenous filmmakers. Embedding historic footage int
 o original animation\, she conjures up a vision of hope and beautiful poss
 ibility.\n\n"Watch the film's trailer":https://vimeo.com/244078698.\n\n*Tu
