Video Animated Short: Nunavut Animation Lab: "I Am But a Little Woman" by Gyu Oh

(4.5 min) Video "I Am But a Little Woman" by Gyu Oh - an inspired Inuit poem first shared to paper in 1927, this animated short evokes the beauty and power of nature, as well as the bond between mother and daughter. As her daughter looks on, an Inuit woman creates a wall hanging filled with images of the spectacular Arctic landscape and traditional Inuit objects and iconography. Soon the boundaries between art and reality begin to dissolve.
