Throat Singing in Kangirsuk (Inuktitut: Katatjatuuk Kangirsumi) is a Canadian short documentary film, directed by Eva Kaukai and Manon Chamberland and released in 2019.[1] The film depicts Kaukai and Chamberland, two Inuit teenagers from Kangirsuk, Quebec, performing Inuit throat singing over scenes of the changing seasonal landscape in the community.[1]
The film premiered at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival.[2] Following the screening, the duo performed a live demonstration of throat singing, their first time ever performing music outside their own community.[3]
Writing for Film Threat, Lorry Kikta praised the film as "a breathtaking visual tour that somehow shows us the entire spirit of the people in only a little over three minutes. It’s very effective and impressive, considering that the creative forces behind it are teenagers."[4]
In December 2019, the film was named to the Toronto International Film Festival's annual year-end Canada's Top Ten list for short films.[5]
