“ Their Finest is the sort of crowd-pleaser that knows the difference between satisfying its viewers and flattering them, all the while showcasing surprising performances from Gemma Arterton and Sam Claflin, and an entirely unsurprising one from Bill Nighy —a master scene-stealer pulling off yet another brazen heist.” - Andrew Barker, Variety
We were honoured to have Alethea Arnaquq-Baril, Director for Angry Inuk, and Aaju Peter attend last year's BFF19 Opening night film for a Q&A
Alethea Arnaquq-Baril is the recipient of the Meritorious Service Cross in recognition of her outstanding work as an activist and filmmaker.
We are very pleased for her, Angry Inuk is a powerful, respectful and dignified documentary responding to those who oppose seal hunting, and the dramatic impact that it has had on the lives of Inuit people.
Thank you to Jennifer Klementti for the portraits of Alethea and Aaju
