THE LIVING STONE
Directed by John Feeney · Starring Gilbert Choquette, Gilles Pelletier, George Whalley · 1959
Exploring the inspiration behind Inuit sculpture, the film follows the carver's art of releasing the image hidden in the stone, framed by a legend of a sea spirit carved to bring food to a hungry camp.
An Oscar-nominated window into Inuit art, where carving stone becomes an act of vision, storytelling and survival.
