Ancient Studies Movie Night: Atanarjuat (2001)

What:

Atanarjuat, considered one of the greatest Canadian movies to watch, is a 2001 Canadian period movie directed by Inuit filmmaker Zacharias Kunuk. Atanarjuat was the first feature film ever to be written, directed and acted entirely in the Inuktitut language. The movie won the Caméra d'Or (Golden Camera) at Cannes, and six Genie Awards, including Best Motion Picture, and was a hit commercial success.

"Set in the ancient past, the film retells an Inuit legend passed down through centuries of oral tradition. It revolves around the title character, whose marriage with his two wives earns him the animosity of the son of the band leader, who kills Atanarjuat's brother and forces Atanarjuat to flee by foot."
