Remove "Of the North" from Museum of the Moving Image film festival & Other Film Festivals

Remove "of the north"

Not cool

Wish I can see him face to face and give him my middle finger right up his nose

Educate and eliminate ignorance

Remove "of the north"

Let people tell their own stories.

this film is deeply offensive and should not be shown

How is racism and ignorance portrayed as film? How can trashing a culture and appropriation be called an art? Gagnon has never even been up North. And he says this film has been misunderstood? He says it was meant to show what mining has done to the North. This is not what the Mining Industry has done to the North! He has not shown all the great, positive things that are going on for Inuit. It is a totally different and bigger picture then what he see's. This is his own view of what a culture is and your going to show it? A SHOW of what "FREE" clips Gagnon collected off the net from others poor choices. Inuit have been trashed for so long, without the addition of such a sickening view of his own from the internet. How does Gagnon and anyone else think we will be viewed as again? This is just a racist, ill informed film of free clips taken from the internet. His idea of what it used to be like for Inuit and what is has come to? This is wrong, so wrong. Please don't show this film and have this ugly, ill informed picture painted in your minds and the minds of others. Inuit are such wonderful people. And this film does not show who we are, what we’re about and where we come from. Taima

This film is a disgrace to our culture.

"of the north" and it's creator are a disgrace to humanity as would any festival that chose to showcase it. This director should be charged criminally.

I am an Inullarik, an inuk. Hearing and reading this stupid film is painful. It is very wrong to make us stereotypes and distort our image. This Dominic Gagnon should be charged, and convicted for his very stupid choice.

Dont assume, Learn the history This is not right

I don't understand how racism and ignorance can be portrayed as film? What is pieced together as a documentary is hurtful, misguiding, inaccurate, arrogant, and just plain wrong. By showing this crap, you perpetuate further suppression of the Inuit people - without even some decency to give any opportunity to hear from the Inuit themselves. Inaccurate, racist and ignorant are my three words to describe the film maker.

I don't like what I hear

This film is a misrepresentation of Inuit people. It is offensive and I am desperately trying to raise my Inuit son and daughter to proud of their culture. The intergenerational impacts of residential schools are a huge enough barrier without this film. I beg you to not play this film.

Supporting the petition.

Sounds like a racist view of Inuit. totally inappropriate.

Give Indigenous Peoples the money, power, & opportunities to tell our own stories. Period. Please.

Not cool

Remove this film from all film festivals.
