Inukshop

2009 | Jobie Weetaluktuk – Inukjuak – MTL

From the Curator:
“This short film was directed by Nunavik’s award-winning director Jobie Weetaluktuk, my father. Using archival images, and a creative sound track, Weetaluktuk depicts the difficult relationship of culture and commodification. The art of the short film is one of precision. I have yet to see a short film – two minutes! – that communicates as complex an idea as well as Inukshop has. This film is a masterpiece.”
