In 1985, Zacharias Kunuk made history as the first Inuit or Indigenous artist deemed eligible to apply for a professional artist grant at the Canada Council for the Arts. In his Inuktitut-language short film, From Inuk Point of View, the camera pans across homes in Iglooik as elder Pauloosie Qulitalik narrates, describing the parts of traditional Inuit culture that remain: the language and hunting. He laments the ways that Westernization has crept in to modern-day Inuit life, influencing clothing and livelihoods, all the while painting a picture of the true Inuit way. Several years later, four partners on the production—Qulitalik, the narrator; Kunuk, director and producer; Norman Cohn, cameraman; and Paul Apak Angilirq, editor—formed Igloolik Isuma Productions Inc., the first Inuit-led film production company in Canada.

Redux is a retrospective program celebrating films that deserve another opportunity to be seen on the big screen.

Digital remaster made possible by the generous financial support of Telefilm Canada, in partnership with Hot Docs.
