The arctic film "People of a Feather" will be available for viewing at
many venues in the coming weeks, including during opening night of the
Polar Film Festival at the IPY From Knowledge to Action Conference in
Montreal, Canada. The full schedule is available at:
http://www.peopleofafeather.com/.
Created with funding from the International Polar Year, and featuring
groundbreaking footage from over seven winters in the Arctic, the
award-winning film takes the viewer through time and into the unique
world of the Inuit on the Belcher Islands in Nunavut, Canada. Connecting
past, present, and future is a unique cultural relationship with the
eider duck. Eider down, the warmest feather in the world, allows both
Inuit and bird to survive harsh arctic winters. Recreations of
traditional life are juxtaposed with modern life in Sanikiluaq, as both
people and eiders face the challenges posed by changing sea ice and
ocean currents disrupted by the massive hydroelectric dams powering
eastern North America. The eyes of a remote subsistence culture
challenge the world to find energy solutions that work with the seasons
of the hydrological cycle.
