Synopsis
Éducation et guides pédagogiques

This documentary pokes fun at the ways in which Inuit people have been treated as “exotic” documentary subjects by turning the lens onto the strange behaviours of Qallunaat (the Inuit word for white people). The term refers less to skin colour than to a certain state of mind: Qallunaat greet each other with inane salutations, repress natural bodily functions, complain about being cold, and want to dominate the world. Their odd dating habits, unsuccessful attempts at Arctic exploration, overbearing bureaucrats and police, and obsession with owning property are curious indeed.

A collaboration between filmmaker Mark Sandiford and Inuit writer and satirist Zebedee Nungak, Qallunaat! brings the documentary form to an unexpected place in which oppression, history, and comedy collide.

This film was so funny and poignant. What white people have done to aboriginal people is stated so clearly in this film. An award winner that everyone should see. Thank you!

I loved this film!! It´s a wonderful way for me to see the world where I live from another side. Everybody should watch it! ¡Amé esta película! Es una forma asombrosa de ver el mundo donde vivo desde otro lado. ¡Todos deberían verlo!

I am a Qallunaat teacher from Cleveland, Ohio, and I've enjoyed the honor of teaching to many Inuit students via live video conference-- some in Iqaluit schools! It is so humbling to speak with humans who value the truly important aspects of humanity-- our shared biological functions, emotions, and desire for respect. Thank you for making this video testimonial to the weirdness of Qallunaat ways-- I feel that every white kid should watch a documentary like this and write a report about how it made them feel. Qujanarsuaq!

As one of the Qallunaat people, watching this is a tough struggle. I realize that is a pretty pathetic admission. I see the humor, irony, and wit in this examination of history and interesting reversal of roles in what actually happened. At the same I feel shame and indignation for my culture being mocked in such a way, and in a way that is part of the purpose of the doc, to understand the other side of the demeaning colonization experience. I would imagine the film makers aren't wanting to dehumanize white people, as was said near the end- the best and the worst came out of it; yet as a tool for self reflection and historical perspective shifting this is a significant piece of documentary creative presentation.

Very much enjoyed, though of course, wryly...so impressed wiht the kindness of the Inuit towards such ignorance, even as they poke fun
