Short description
This pioneering documentary film depicts the lives of the indigenous Inuit people of Canada's northern Quebec region. Although the production contains some fictional elements, it vividly shows how its resourceful subjects survive in such a harsh climate, revealing how they construct their igloo homes and find food by hunting and fishing. The film also captures the beautiful, if unforgiving, frozen landscape of the Great White North, far removed from conventional civilization.
What's left behind the scenes
- The enormous success of «Nanook of the North» determined the development of documentary filmmaking worldwide and had a great influence on filmmakers of all countries.
- Nanook himself never learned of his worldwide fame – he died of starvation in the icy wilderness shortly before the film's premiere.
