Synopsis
An experimental documentary made with handmade and industrial emulsions, exploring enduring relations between Inuit, caribou, lichens and land. Lichen-based developers animate the images, while caribou hide becomes gelatin for hand-crafted emulsion. Filmed largely on Nunavut land, the film bears witness to caribou lifeways under ecological strain.
