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

Remove this film.

This is a poor film that further destroys Native Aboriginal, and Canadian relationships.

Please remove Of The North from your roster. It's in very poor taste.

this documentary is incredibly problematic and should only be viewed as a prime example of supremely ignorant white male privilege.

As someone who works with the Inuit community in Montreal, I find this film offensive and racist. Rather than a discussion piece, it perpetuates very harmful and thoughtless stereotypes.

As an Inuk, I am dismayed that any festival would consider perpetuating uniformed racist ideas that Inuit are drunks, prostitutes, and imbecilic victims of colonialism who can't handle "civilization." This tired 20th-century stereotyping serves only the filmmaker. Sponsors will be contacted.

Disgusting portrayal of Inuit people!

Listen.

This movie and it's maker suck!

When art hurts, damages, marginalizes and causes harm to actual beings it's relevance to society needs to be examined both internally and externally. It is clear that "of the north" is so damaging and hurtful to Inuit that it actually makes people physically ill to watch it. Art should never serve to oppress as this racist film does. It needs to stop being screened.

Awful. Disgraceful. No one should see this movie that is NOT OF THE NORTH.

Signing for my fellow Inuit.

Stop showing films that reduces Indigenous Peoples to stereotypes and misrepresentates their culture and way of life!

Media affects the children. Think of Inuit children . . . how would they grow up in this world thinking these films were portrayals of who they are

poor journalism

Please remove this racist, piece of crap film!!!!

Any decent, reasonable film festival would never accept a film like this one.

I'm actually baffled that this sort of disrespectful and grossly inconsiderate piece has not only come across the panel to be not only considered, but APPROVED as "art". The strreotypes portrayed here should not be viewed as intellectually inspiring, but as morally wrong. We have not reached the plateau of respect and knowledge about my people portrayed in this. I am disappointed that your film festival has garnered any attention at all. I ask you to reconcile and forego your ignorance by pulling this individuals submission as it is hugely disrespectful, and consider the larger message you are portraying. Sincerely, Sue Thiebaut

This is not Inuit or the Inuit way

not acceptable....
