To mark the centenary of Nanook of the North (1922) this seminar considers the legacy of one of the most important landmarks of documentary film history. What started as a collaborative effort of Robert Flaherty and the Inuit of Inukjuak (ᐃᓄᒃᔪᐊᒃ) in northern Quebec, Canada, eventually launched Flaherty’s career as the “father” of documentary film. Nanook started out with a hugely popular commercial release and decades followed of celebratory praise for the brilliance of its cinematography and extraordinary film-making process. However, the film has also become a lightning rod for critique and debate because of its “faked scenes”, imperial approach, paternalism and racial stereotypes that misrepresent the Inuit people and their way of life.
