“Tuvaq—Edge of the Shorefast Ice” 3:30
“This film is about life on the tuvaq, the interface of sea and ice where everything happens, but a place few will ever see. The Iñupiat crew stands on the ice next to a skinboat. We wait for the return of the bowhead whales and give thanks to the gift of the whale for feeding an entire community. We watch, day and night, as starving polar bears try to catch us unawares and as the ice melts under our feet.”
