NEW DOC FROM ISUMA
QALLUNAJATUT (URBAN INUK)
***************************
Kunuk Cohn Productions and Igloolik Isuma Productions (the independent Inuit production company behind the internationally acclaimed feature film ATANARJUAT THE FAST RUNNER) are pleased to announce the release of a new documentary directed by Nunavik writer JOBIE WEETALUKTUK.
QALLUNAJATUT (URBAN INUK) follows the lives of three Inuit in Montreal over the course of one hot and humid summer. Only two generations ago Inuit lived in small, nomadic hunting camps scattered across the vast Arctic landscape. Since the 1950s, this traditional lifestyle has undergone an astonishing transition from Stone Age to Information Age, as Inuit first relocated (often by force) to government-run settlements, and, more recently, beyond the settlement into southern cities. What happens when an Inuk is dislocated from the traditional Arctic homelands that are so primordial to Inuit culture, history, and social structure? This film shatters stereotypes and gives audiences a vivid, emotional understanding of the challenges facing those who would live Inuit lives in contemporary urban environments. Featuring the original music of Charlie Adams and traditional ajaja songs of Igloolik, Nunavut.

Waggish: Roberto Bolaño: By Night in Chile
…seems Roberto’s writing is finally getting translated & marketed in English.
I recommend his work with th weight of a peculiar sense of loss- Roberto was th good firend who never was, th too-brief, inspirational acquaintance…
I have some video footage of his close friend & collaborator, Toni, (my screenplay is based on th book they wrote together) & him having what seemed to be an oft-repeated, ritual conversation- Roberto proposing a scheme to try to better market difficult literary work, Toni, as sales mgr. for a small publishing house dedicated to teacher’s manuals & texts, patiently running down th impossible numbers…
III
For Bolaño, Latin America is not only a geographical expanse; it is a state of mind. It is the pieces, the ghosts, exiles took with them as they scattered around the world. In the short story “El ojo Silva” (“Silva the Eye”), Bolaño writes in the opening sentence:
It’s strange how things happen, Mauricio Silva, known as the Eye, always tried to escape from violence even at the risk of being considered a coward, but the violence, the real violence, can’t be escaped, at least not by us, born in Latin America in the 1950s, those of us who were around twenty years old when Salvador Allende died.
Bolaño always dealt with the impacts of violence in the private realm. He didn’t work epically; he avoided historical denouements. The struggles and massacre of Colombia’s plantation workers in One Hundred Years of Solitude, Fuentes’s evocations of the Mexican Revolution, Vargas Llosa’s dissection of a ferocious backwoods millenarian movement in The War at the End of the World – grand tapestries of this kind are absent in his work.

Dismal news really isn’t our focus here, but we can’t let this go without notice: the latest Nature also includes a report on an apparent weakening of the warm-water current in the North Atlantic due to global warming causing Greenland ice to melt. This flow keeps the UK, Ireland and the rest of Europe relatively temperate, despite being at latitudes similar to Canada and lower Alaska. A further weakening of the flow could result in a mini-ice age for Europe, and possibly further strengthen mid-Atlantic hurricanes.
It’s unclear yet whether this is a single event or signs of a new trend.
Green Car Congress has a terrific summary. Additional good discussions can be found at The Oil Drum and (for the more technically-inclined among you) RealClimate.
