When We Say Evaluation, It Isin't the Same Thing

Inuk Elder Levinia Brown shares the oral history of how she was born on February 16, 1947 while her family was travelling by dog team across the open tundra. Her story is illustrated by cutout stop motion animation of hand sewn Inuit wall hanging designs in the style of her own artwork.

February Sixteenth Nineteen Forty-Seven

An ancestral house builds itself, comes to life, and shows us its story spanning one hundred fifty years. Through the ages, it allows us to perceive the passage of time.

The Little Ancestor

It’s a movie that just sort’a unfolded on its own. Started one day when I was sitting in that room, in the film, staring at the pictures on the wall. Pictures that I see all the time, every day. Gears started turning in my head... What do they say to each other when no one is here? If only I were a fly on the wall. Then I would know.

House Fly

A storm is brewing next door. Mr. L'espérance hopes to breathe a little sweetness into her life by making her a gift. As he works, the old man is assailed by a flood of resurfacing memories. Images and sounds jostle in his head, deconstructing and amalgamating to form never-before-seen images. He relives snatches of his childhood as a sailor's son.
