Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner

Atanarjuat, The Fast Runner is the first film shot, produced and acted entirely by Inuits. From the very first images, the film plunges us into the unknown and immeasurable. Atanarjuat, a legendary character with an exceptional destiny, is the hero of this film, part action and part out-of-time, utopian fable. At Igloolik, passions are stirred within a community that is split into two rival tribes. This classic tragedy - from the first frames to its conclusion - unfurls against an immense backdrop of immaculate white snow and azure blue sky.
