Nanook of the North**
(US 1922)
An eskimo hunts through the harsh Arctic climate to feed his family.
Vivid depiction of the Northern icelands with a keen explorer's eye; in effect the cinema's first genuine "drama documentary", way ahead of its time and still as breathtaking and engaging to watch to audiences now as it would have been then.
Written, Directed and Photographed by: Robert J. Flaherty.
Editing: Robert Flaherty, Charles Gelb.
Music: Stanley Silverman (1975).
Preceded by:
The Tantalizing Fly**
(US 1919. 4m. bw. silent; Part of the Out of the Inkwell series: the animator and his clown deal with an irritating insect.; d, s: Max Fleischer.)
