One of the year's most essential cinematic events, writer-director Laura Citarella’s mischievous, monumental mystery centers around the search for a missing biologist by the men in her life.
Winner of the Caméra d’Or for best debut feature at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival, Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner is the first Canadian feature film narrative written, produced, directed, and acted by Inuit filmmakers. This pulse-pounding, awe-inspiring action drama unfolds in ancient Igloolik, where a life-altering struggle ensues between human and supernatural forces. Bringing a centuries-old Inuit oral legend to the big screen, director Zacharias Kunuk chronicles the conflict of Atanarjuat, whose polygamous marriage earns him the ire of his camp’s leader and sets off an epic saga of betrayal and brutality.
