The cycle of life is revealed in a pulsing rhythm as Inuit throat singer Tanya Tagaq turns from animal to human to seal and then back again. Tungijuq, which co-stars Zacharias Kunuk, is a charged meditation on the Inuit seal hunt and the claim for sovereignty over traditional practices. KM

Félix Lajeunesse and Paul Raphaël have been collaborating on music videos, advertisements and films since 2004. Tungijuq (09) is their first short film.
