Writing and directing team Madeline Ivalu and Marie-Helene Cousineau, who starred in and lensed the groundbreaking Inuit film ATANARJUAT, THE FAST RUNNER, once again venture into the frozen Canadian tundra with the haunting and poetic BEFORE TOMORROW.
This time around, the focus is on the initial contact between the Inuit and white Europeans in the 19th century and its devastating impact on one small community anchored by a matriarch (Ivalu) and her grandson (Paul-Dylan Ivalu).
"Cousineau and Ivalu take the time to document a way of life from the inside, making old Inuit customs and domiciles seem inviting rather than alien." -- Grade: B+ A.V. Club - Noel Murray (12/03/2009)
The first of this kind, "Atanarjuat, The Fast Runner" was an epic film made by and about the Inuit peoples of the Canadian arctic, telling a story of a crime that ruptures the trust within a closely knit group, and how justice is achieved and healing begins. Director Zacharias Kunuk and his writer, Paul Apak Angilin, collected oral versions of an Inuit legend from several elders, collated them into a story, submitted the story to the elders for suggestions and then filmed it as a collaborative expression.
The 2 stories are unrelated, so can be seen in any order.
