Before Tomorrow

This project is the first feature from the Arnait Video Productions collective, which has been gathering and documenting stories of Inuit women since 1991. BEFORE TOMORROW is the story of a woman who demonstrates that human dignity is at the core of life from beginning to end, as she and her grandson face the ultimate challenge of survival. The film was shot in remote locations near the community of Puvirnituq, Nunavik (northern Quebec) over four separate periods in order to capture the seasons from June though December. Variety: “An Inuit boy and his beloved grandmother struggle to survive the Arctic wilderness in this profound, elemental and hauntingly beautiful period drama that makes an intimate story of endurance into a metaphor for an entire culture.” Post-film events: co-director Marie-Helene Cousineau will speak after both shows. Sponsored by Amy Miller and Quebec Government Office in Boston. Community Partner: University of the Arctic. 93 minutes, in Inuktitut with subtitles. Film website
