Tautuktavuk (What We See) is a Canadian drama film directed by Carol Kunnuk and Lucy Tulugarjuk.[1]
The film had its world premiere in the Discovery program at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival.[2] It had its commercial premiere in Igloolik.[3] It was later named to TIFF's annual Canada's Top Ten list for 2023.[4]
The film centres on Saqpinak (Kunnuk) and Uyarak (Tulugarjuk), two Inuit sisters whose lives have significantly diverged as Uyarak lives in Montreal while Saqpinak has remained in Igloolik, Nunavut, who are reconnecting through regular video chats during the COVID-19 pandemic.[5]
The cast also includes Susan Avingaq, Leah Panimera, Beatrice Deer and Madeline Ivalu in supporting roles.
The film had its world premiere in the Discovery program at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival.[2]
It premiered commercially in a screening at the Igloolik High School in Igloolik in January 2024, in advance of several further film festival screenings in southern Canada and a spring tour of other communities in the Arctic.[3]
