Fifth ‘Movie Monday’ At Heard Museum This Monday
On Monday, June 29, the Heard Museum will be holding another Movie Mondays event.
They will be showing a 28-minute film called If Weather Permits at 1:30pm. Elisapie Isaac, a young, city-based Inuit filmmaker returns to her roots, the village of Kangirsujuaq in Nunavik. Here, she ponders the relationship between the Inuit past and the future in today’s world. In interviews with her extraordinary grandfather and with young people of the community, she finds more questions than answers. To bridge the growing gap between the young and the old, she lets Naalak, an elder, and Danny, a young policeman from Kangirsujuaq, tell us what they think. Isaac also speaks to her grandfather, now dead, and confides in him her hopes and fears.
