title: If the Weather Permits

overview: This short documentary studies life in the village of Kangirsujuaq, Nunavik. In this community on the edge of the Arctic Ocean, children’s laughter fills the streets while the old people ponder the passage of time. They are nomads of the wide-open spaces who are trying to get used to the strange feeling of staying put. While the teenagers lap up Southern culture and play golf on the tundra to kill time, the Elders are slowly dying, as their entire culture seems to fade away.  Elisapie Isaac, a filmmaker born in Nunavik, decides to return to her roots on this breathtaking land. To bridge the growing gap between the young and the old, she speaks to her grandfather, now deceased, and confides in him her hopes and fears. Grappling with isolation, family relationships, resource extraction, land-based knowledges, the influence of Southern culture and the ongoing impacts of colonialism on Inuit ways of life, Elisapie Isaac offers a nuanced portrait of the North.

name: TRAILER: SUMÉ - THE SOUND OF A REVOLUTION

site: Vimeo

overview: A successful rock band from Greenland? Yes, it's not a lie. In 1973, the Greenlandic Sumé released a debut album, which record time made it to all the households on the icy island. But Sumé's success was not just due to their catchy beat rock, but also to the band's ability to put words to the zeitgeist, where Greenlandic culture was slowly fading away.

title: Sumé: The Sound of a Revolution

title: Sumé - lyden af en revolution

overview: I 1970'erne sætter et ungt, politisk rockband ord på grønlændernes længsel efter frihed og medbestemmelse, og snart er landet i gang med sit første store opgør med kolonimagten Danmark. Dette er den første film om Grønlands historie, som er lavet af grønlændere. En film, der med musikken som drivkraft, fører publikum tilbage til en af de vigtigste perioder i landets historie. Fire grønlandske studerende i Danmark udgiver Grønlands første  rockplade. Sumés sange fanger øjeblikkeligt de unge, og teksterne provokerer de ældre. Efter årtier med modernisering og fordanskning må grønlænderne nu stoppe op og tage stilling: "Sumé?" Hvor er vi? "Sumut?" - Hvor vi på vej hen? To spørgsmål som er ligeså aktuelle for Grønland i dag som for 40 år siden.

The film, at the same time poetic and anthropological, listens to the accounts of the inhabitants' dreams, which it confronts with the daily gestures and life of the village, a life naked to the immensity of a natural world beyond the human environment everywhere.

title: Messages from the Past

overview: In 1991, Igloolik Isuma Productions gathered 13 Igloolik elders for a week of discussion, to choose and then record 24 traditional ajaja songs considered most important to preserve for the future: where did the songs come from, how where they made and how have they been passed down generation to generation? Each elder remembers their own family's ajaja songs and explains how they were created by poets taking their words from their life experiences. The video, translated and subtitled for the first time, includes priceless footage of these elders singing and drumming the songs, and their playfully combative and humorous interactions are a joy to watch. The process also allowed Isuma to publish a full CD of the selected songs and to use and preserve many of them in Isuma's films over the next 25 years.

title: The People’s Land, Eskimos of Pond Inlet

overview: For the Eskimos of Pond Inlet - a new village in North Baffin Island in which they have been settled by the Canadian Government – the life of the semi-nomadic hunter has given way to that of wage-labourer, in what appears as a pre-fabricated 'township'. Although hunting provides an important supplement to the Eskimos' income, it is now a part-time activity, and since 1975 (ten years after the start of the government's housing programme) nobody has lived all year round in hunting camps. For the older inhabitants of Pond Inlet, the old way of life is still vivid (in 1935 only 37 Eskimos lived in the village) and their reminiscences and recollections form part of a powerful statement about the present situation. These statements take the form of monologues, or comments addressed to friends and family about the effects of fifty years of contact with whites.
