Kablunât: Legend of the Origin of the White People
Kablunât: Legend of the Origin of the White People is one of the most talked-about Animation movies released in 2016, attracting audiences with its cinematic storytelling and memorable performances.
His recent animation Kablunât: Legend of the Origin of the White People (2016) draws from a Nunatsiavummiut legend recorded by a Moravian missionary. Making use of archival photographs collected over nearly nine years, Gear reinterprets the legend for a contemporary Inuit audience, while framing the story as a reclamation from colonial retellings. “I wanted to literally insert myself in that narrative, break it apart and see what was there in a kind of dreamlike way,” he notes.
