Zacharias Kunuk, one of the world's most widely respected aboriginal filmmakers (Atanarjuat - The Fast Runner, Golden Camera at Cannes, 2001), was nine years old when his family gave up their nomadic lifestyle and settled in the new government town of Igloolik, Nunavut. As a co-founder and creative member of the Igloolik Isuma Productions team, he produced films that preserve the Inuit oral culture and bring Arctic life to the world. At the transmediale.09 Marshall McLuhan Lecture, Kunuk and Paul Quassa, will talk about the importance of access to, and use of, new media for contemporary Inuit culture.
