Sirmilik
reviewed by Sue Hamilton
Zacharias Kunuk, (Atanarjuat, Journals of Knud Rasmussen, Before Tomorrow) applied his award-winning filmmaking skills to craft a ten-minute gem highlighting one corner of the Canadian Arctic. To celebrate one hundred years of Parks Canada, the National Parks Project commissioned thirteen filmmakers to create thirteen documentaries, each featuring one of Canada’s thirteen national parks. That Kunuk was chosen to showcase Nunavut's Sirmilik National Park was truly a match made in heaven.

It is no surprise that on March 8th of this year, Kunuk received a Genie award (the counterpart of the United States' Oscars) in the Short Documentary category for Sirmilik.
