Produced by Wapikoni, Throat Singing in Kangirsuk, a Canadian documentary by first-time Indigenous filmmakers, Eva Kaukai and Manon Chamberland makes its World Premiere as part of the Shorts Selection at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival.
In this short film, Kaukai and Chamberland practice the art of throat singing in their native land. Their hypnotic performance intertwines with vast aerial shots of Kangirsuk, captured by drone over the four seasons in the Artic. As the song progresses, the spectacular visuals unite with their pulsating rhythmical performance, which culminates in a profound unison between their Inuit roots and the territory.
