Based on an ancient Inuit legend, Atanarjuat is an epic tale of love, betrayal, and revenge. The beautiful Atuat (Ivalu) has been promised to the short-fused Oki (Arnatsiaq), the son of the tribe’s leader. However, she loves the good-natured Atanarjuat (Ungalaaq), a fast runner and excellent hunter. When Atanarjuat is forced to battle the jealous Oki for Atuat’s hand, the events that follow determine not only his fate, but that of his people.

Atanarjuat won 26 awards, including eight Genies and the Caméra d’Or at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival. In 2015, Atanarjuat was selected as TIFF’s number one Canadian film of all time. It is the 25th Anniversary for this film.
