Sensational. That was very astonishing. I enjoy greatly how the spirits of the animals were portrayed in this film. The beauty of the Inuit Belief system shown so elegantly and powerfully. The atmosphere feels like I have grown up knowing about the harmony and the presence of spirits and how they work, but never had the chance to conceptualize what this ideology would look like. You have captured the beliefs that a young Inuk could only dream about. This film has meshed thousands of Prints, paintings, carvings and any other Inuit still art that you may see into a living moving master piece.
As Inuit we respect the spirits of the animals and our surroundings. I hope that this film helps people understand Inuit culture more by educating them and giving them a glimpse of our powerful belief system.
Quana.
