As an ethnographic epic about the hard and heroic life of an Inuit family in the Canadian Arctic, this primal father of documentary still captivates beyond measure. The score by Timothy Brock, specialist in orchestral music for silent films, refers to music from the period when Nanook of the North was made and is performed live by the New European Ensemble.
Although the film is based on the daily life of the Inuit, documentary maker Robert Flaherty staged a lot. Sometimes he even recorded customs that were largely a thing of the past for the generation of that time, such as hunting with harpoons instead of guns. In order to also film indoor scenes, the local crew built a special igloo, which was cut open on one side to let in sunlight.
