other title: Nalujuk Night (short film)
Nalujuk Night is an up close look at an exhilarating, and sometimes terrifying, Labrador Inuit tradition. Every January 6th from the dark of the Nunatsiavut night, the Nalujuit appear on the sea ice. They walk on two legs, yet their faces are animalistic, skeletal, and otherworldly. Snow crunches underfoot as they approach their destination: the Inuit community of Nain. Despite the frights, Nalujuk Night is a beloved annual event, showing that sometimes it can be fun to be scared. Rarely witnessed outside of Nunatsiavut, this annual event is an exciting chance for Inuit, young and old, to prove their courage and come together as a community to celebrate culture and tradition. Inuk filmmaker Jennie Williams brings audiences directly into the action in this bone-chilling black and white short documentary about a winter night like no other.

A cute, short doc about the Labrador Inuit new year tradition of Nalujul Night. When the kids wish a happy new year to the Nalujuit with such trepidation, well that's enough to warm my heart and also melt all the ice and snow that covers their community.

I like movies and music in probably like a 65/35 split. I like food of all kinds but have no desire to learn how to cook.
