The New Jersey Film Festival, Fall 2011 will be featuring two movies this evening beginning at 7:00pm. These films will be show in Voorhees Hall #105, 71 Hamilton Street/College Avenue Campus, Rutgers University, New Brunswick. This evenings featured films are:
Ice Works - Stephen Payne (Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada). This poignant environmental documentary follows an aboriginal fisherman named Cyrus Smith as he plys his trade on the frozen barrens of the Canadian north, following the traditions of his elders. The Smith family are
part of a dwindling number of fishermen who venture out in arctic-like conditions to supply world markets with fresh whitefish. Weather, environmental degradation and climate change are a few of the challenges facing this vulnerable fishery which has been in existence since long before the arrival of white European settlers. 2011; 24 min.
Inuk - Mike Magidson (Paris, France). Exquisitely filmed, Inuk features a wonderful cast of actors, and opens a view into a remote and stunningly beautiful region of the world. In Greenland's capital city, sixteen year-old Inuk lives a troubled life with his family. After pulling him out of an abandoned car, the social services administration sends him north, to a children's home on a tiny island in the middle of the arctic sea. Shortly after arriving, Inuk meets Ikuma, a local polar bear hunter, who has his own share of problems. Overcome by self-doubt and a haunted past, his
extraordinary hunting skills are mysteriously disappearing. When Inuk, the boy from the city, joins the elder Ikuma, the last great hunter of the north, on an epic dogsled journey, they face much more than the bitter cold and fragile sea-ice. The most difficult part of the journey will be the one they must make within themselves—as they both learn they have a valiant past and a hopeful future. In Eskimo dialect, subtitled. 2010; 90 min.
