New boundaries emerge every moment: miles of barbed wire, concrete security walls, naval detention centers, biometric passport databases, and checkpoints at schools, airports, and roadsides. We live in delineated zones dictating our possibilities, pasts, and paths. In this program, testimonies on settler-colonialism, identity, and migration take us behind, inside, and beyond borders.
What does it mean to be Inuk? Historically depicted as welcoming and friendly people in remote snowy landscapes, in reality, Inuit live across the globe. Using antique wind-up bears, layered animation, and analogue techniques, McIntyre constructs an animated documentary in an exploration of identity and belonging by Inuit, both in and outside of community. Herself of mixed Inuk and settler heritage, McIntyre asks what it means to belong in a changing world when our ideas of Inuk-ness are so tied to particular representations.
