Join us on e-flux Video & Film for an online screening of Zacharias Kunuk’s Inuit Knowlege and Climate Change (2010), streaming from Wednesday, August 4 through Tuesday, August 17, 2021.

Zacharias Kunuk and his team at Isuma Productions have teamed up with researcher Ian Mauro, PhD, University of Victoria, to document and communicate Inuit knowledge regarding climate change in Nunavut. This community-based video research and filmmaking project values the important contribution Inuit have made regarding climate change impacts and associated adaptation strategies.

Inuit Knowlege and Climate Change is presented here as one of six films in Part Four | Frames for Alterity (Ethnography, Human Rights, Class, and Race), the final of four programs in the online series Me, You, and Everyone We Know: Interrelationality, Alterity, Globalization programmed by Irmgard Emmelhainz for e-flux Video & Film. The series will run in four thematic parts from June 23 through August 18, 2021. Each part will include a two-week group screening, and a live discussion. The series concludes with a repeat of all films from parts one through four on August 18.
