Kinngait: Riding Light Into the World

The Baffin Island community of Cape Dorset is world-renowned for the art produced at the Inuit owned and operated Kinngait (pronounced 'king- night') Studios. Weaving together first-hand accounts with images of iconic artworks, the film is a captivating chronicle of how art-making replaced fur-trapping in the 1950s, detailing the complex relationships between the artists and their network of supporters. "Kinngait: Riding Light Into The World" brings together artworks of successive generations that eloquently illustrate the immense changes experienced by Inuit to their way of life and their environment over the past half-century.
