Presented as part of CCA’s monthly series on re-examining and honoring classic cinema, Closer Looks. This month’s selection was made by CCA’s Artistic Cinema Programmer, Cole Forrest, who will offer an introduction and slideshow on Zacharias Kunuk’s Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner before the screening.
ONE NIGHT ONLY!
Igloolik at the dawn of the first millennium, when nomadic Inuit were masters of the frozen arctic. Evil in the form of an unknown shaman divides a small community of Inuit, upsetting its balance and spirit. Twenty years pass. Two brothers emerge from the evil order: Amaqjuaq, the Strong One, and Atanarjuat, The Fast Runner. Atanarjuat wins the hand of the lovely Atuat away from the boastful son of the camp leader, Oki, who vows to get even. Oki ambushes the brothers in their sleep, killing Amaqjuaq, as Atanarjuat miraculously escapes running naked over the spring sea ice. But can he ever escape the cycle of vengeance left behind?
