Coming next: - “Tia and Piujuq” (2018)

Inuk (or Eskimo) throat singer Lucy Tulugarjuk makes her directorial film debut with this lovely tale from northern Canada. Shot in Montreal and the island of Igloolik, in Nunavut, Canada’s newest, largest and northernmost territory, where the director grew up, the film "Tia and Piujuq" tells about the unlikely and burgeoning friendship between two 10-year-old girls. Piujuq is a bored and lonely young Inuk, and Tia, a Syrian refugee whose sad life takes a dramatic turn when she finds a magical portal that transports her to Canada’s Arctic tundra where Piujuq lives. Together, the two girls discover a world of magic and Inuit stories that heal Tia’s spirit and her soul until their blossoming friendship is threatened by a mysterious character. This charming film is for everyone: adults and children alike who believe in the power of imagination.
