Lucas Anders interviews Lindsey McIntyre (writer/dir) about the short film NIGIQTUQ \u14c2\u148b\u1585\u1450\u1585. It screened as part of FAVA Fest.\xa0

Having left Nunavut with her mother Kumaa\u2019naaq (koo-MAT-na) in 1938, young Marguerite must negotiate the unspoken pressures of being Inuk in her new life in the South. When an extraordinary letter arrives from home, Marguerite discovers what\u2019s really expected of her. NIGIQTUQ \u14c2\u148b\u1585\u1450\u1585 is based on a true story told to Lindsay by her grandmother. It connects to a larger story that is touched upon in several of Lindsay\u2019s other films, including her upcoming feature, "The Words We Can\u2019t Speak", currently in advanced development.
