Inuk artist Asinnajaq plunges us into a sublime imaginary universe—twelve minutes of archive-inspired cinema that recast the past, present and future of Inuit in a radiant new light. Embedding historic footage into original animation, this young new talent from the North, Asinnajaq, who also goes by Isabella Weetaluktuk, conjures up a vision of hope and beautiful possibility.

Themes: colonization, traditional ways, archival footage, history and modern life
