Abstract
ABSTRACT This article reflects on film training opportunities for young Nunavummiut and the relationship of film and filmmaking to youth wellness and well-being. A case study of the Gjoa Haven Film Society, founded in 2017, highlights the uses of film to document and share stories and cultural events from the community. The article examines film as a medium for engaging youth in historical and cultural learning, and references a longer history of Inuit film and television to illustrate how these have been used to preserve and promote Inuit culture. The article also compares some of the logistical and conceptual barriers to participation in the film industry at a professional level. Not all Inuit youth with interests in these media are able to pursue film training as a professional career, and there remains a need for supporting their involvement in filmmaking at the sub-professional level.
