Arnaquq-Baril’s feature length documentary, which opened the Toronto festival, explores the Inuit seal hunt from an Inuit perspective, following a group of Nunavummiut working to overturn the European Union’s ban on the sale of seal products. Nunavut filmmaker Zacharias Kunuk also picked up Best Indigenous Language Production at ImagineNative for his new feature film Maliglutit (Searchers.) (PHOTO COURTESY OF IMAGINENATIVE)
