Absolutely brilliant. It's the only way to describe Tungijuq, the Inuit fable captured on film by Montreal-based music video and commercial directors Felix And Paul in collaboration with Inuit throat singer Tanya Tagaq Gillis - best known for her collaborations with Bjork.
This is a visually stunning, completely unique piece of work, one that plays out entirely without dialog simply because it needs none. The images and sound are completely immersive all on their own. I can only hope that this immensely talented trio have plans for some sort of similarly themed feature because seven minutes of this just isn't enough.

The 2010 edition of the Worldwide Short Film Festival kicked off in fine style here in Toronto last night. As is the norm for the festival, now in its sixteenth year, the opening night program was devoted to major award winners from around the globe and these were all more than deserving of the accolades. Here's the breakdown:
The night began with Cordell Barker's animated gem Runaway. Though I'd seen this a bunch of times before, this was my first crack at it on the big screen where it belongs. Barker was present for the screening and the crowd was more than appreciative. Check the trailer for this one below.
Up next, Seeds of the Fall, another dark comic gem from Sweden's Patrik Eklund. Eklund is a great favorite of ours here at Twitch - his wry comic timing is truly spectacular - and actually has a pair of films in the festival this year.
