Si l’on y <strong>en</strong>t<strong>en</strong>d différ<strong>en</strong>ts témoignages, d’Inuits autantque <strong>de</strong> Blancs v<strong>en</strong>us incarner la force <strong>du</strong> changem<strong>en</strong>t, c’est davantagepour laisser résonner leurs voix dans un espace qui reste le principalobjet <strong>de</strong> l’<strong>en</strong>treprise. Filmer un paysage <strong>de</strong> telle manière que s’y laissevoir ce qu’il a pu être autrefois, filmer la mémoire <strong>de</strong> ce qui <strong>de</strong>meure<strong>en</strong>core énigmatique, voilà ce qui ressort dans ces plans à la pati<strong>en</strong>c<strong>en</strong>écessaire. Rare ambition pour un premier film : superposer lesespaces et les temps, ceux <strong>de</strong> l’ample désolation <strong>du</strong> désert blanc àsa version mo<strong>de</strong>rne, toujours aussi désolée, mais tout autre. (JPR)Cambridge Bay is an arctic Canadian town where a community of Inuit lives. Theyhave rec<strong>en</strong>tly gone from a nomadic to a sed<strong>en</strong>tary situation following the arrivalof the Hudson Bay Company, which has brought with it the forces of or<strong>de</strong>r,religious repres<strong>en</strong>tatives, etc. The Inuit population has thus be<strong>en</strong> subjected toprofound changes. Notably, the g<strong>en</strong>eration gap has become wi<strong>de</strong>r and has ma<strong>de</strong>cultural transmission improbable. However, such a <strong>de</strong>scription only pres<strong>en</strong>ts thebackdrop of a film that is <strong>en</strong>gaged in something other than an ethnological orsociological exercise. If we are pres<strong>en</strong>ted with differ<strong>en</strong>t testimonies, from the Inuitas much as from the whites who embody the force of change, it is mostly to lettheir voices resonate in a space that is the principal object of the exercise. Filminga landscape in such a way that one sees what it could have be<strong>en</strong> before andfilming the memory of what remains <strong>en</strong>igmatic, this is what comes out of thes<strong>en</strong>ecessarily pati<strong>en</strong>t takes. It is a rare ambition for a first film: superimposingspaces on times, that of the ample <strong>de</strong>solation of the white <strong>de</strong>sert on its mo<strong>de</strong>rnversion that is just as <strong>de</strong>solate but completely differ<strong>en</strong>t.
