Three Thousand

Directed by Asinnajaq · 2017

Inuk artist Asinnajaq reworks NFB archive footage of the Inuit, including newsreels, propaganda and ethnography. She weaves it into original animation to reimagine her people's past, present and future.

A luminous archive remix that reclaims decades of outsider imagery and turns it into a radiant Inuit vision.

In this short film, Inuk artist Asinnajaq plunges us into a sublime imaginary universe—14 minutes of luminescent, archive-inspired cinema that recast the present, past and future of her people in a radiant new light.
