Director Dominic Gagnon
Countries China
Duration 74 min
Synopsis
A subversion of the canonical gesture of Robert Flaherty: here are the descendants of Nanook making “their” own cinema. By giving a coherent form to almost 500 hours of YouTube films by hundreds of Inuit, Gagnon creates an anti-exotic and rhythmic Vertovian “Kino-Eye”.
