Attiuk

The film showcases the Innu community of Unamenshipu (La Romaine) through a detailed ethnographic perspective. In this 29-minute documentary, viewers witness the participants of the caribou hunt, although they remain silent throughout the film. Off-camera narration by Pierre Perrault enhances the storytelling, providing context to the rich cultural practices of the Innu people.

Attiuk is an important piece for collectors interested in ethnographic films and indigenous cultures. Its inclusion in the Au Pays de Neufve-France series highlights its artistic and cultural significance. As part of the ONF | NFB production, this documentary represents a notable era in Quebec’s filmmaking history, particularly within the direct cinema movement.
