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

Petition has reached 200 signatures!

We encourage the filming and welcome. Only when we are represented by our own. And shown that Inuit are a welcoming and open culture. I do not support a film that bashes a culture and does not even use the true ethnic actor to represent the culture being portrayed.

Do not play this film, it is not representative of the inuit and their culture!! Get your facts before portraying a culture and people you know nothing about!!

Racism isn't art.

Shameful racism

This guy is ridiculous!

nasty film!

Angering! What is this film supposed to prove?

Shabby work indeed! I sincerely hope the film was not produced with a government grant

Please don't promote this racist garbage.

Maggie Baker Using personal material without the written consent of the subject is absolutely and totally unprofessional at best, and at worst is illegal, and potentially liable to lead to a defamation case. Further, you'd have to question the director's real motivation, here. Reading both interviews (director and Anthea's) it appears exploitive, even if the director didn't 'steal' the material. I offer my support in this case, solely on the forgoing. I can't do more as I haven't seen the film. I wouldnt want to. I lived in the north, and I agree with Anthea, who has articulated the problem very succinctly and whose comments are worth publicising, further.

Neither truthful nor reconciliatory. A sterling example of a "documentary" which gives voice to creative and ethical lassitude, solipsistic privilege and unrelenting racism.

..

Please listen to Inuit communities and remove this film from your program.

unacceptable in 2016

Cultural colonization that shouldn't even exist./Colonisation culturelle qui ne devrait même pas exister.

Remove it Now!!!

It's this kind of racial representation that perpetuates a consciousness of racism....remove "Of the North" from it's First Look 2016 film festival and any future film festivals.! Make film makers responsible by NOT supporting this film!

Not. Cool.

Our country is in a time of reconciliation and having negative images of people who have been extremely and negatively impacted by colonialism does not contribute to us moving positively forward as a nation to rebuild trust and understanding of one another.
