To honour the 100th anniversary of Parks Canada, 52 present artists created their views of the thirteen national parks of Canada. Zacharias Kunuk, the master of Inuk cinema, shot a fascinating short documentary on Nunavut's Sirmilik, an area the name of which means in Inuktitut "the place with glaciers". The reminiscences of an old man, the throat singing of a young woman and the dazzling photography of the film give a special tone to this short but unforgettable visit to the Arctic landscape.
