Nanook of the North(79 min; 1922; b/w; silent with English title cards)

Director: Robert J. Flaherty

Considered the first feature length documentary, Flaherty’s classic film tells the story of Inuit hunter Nanook and his family as they struggle to survive in the harsh conditions of Canada’s Hudson Bay region. Enormously popular when released in 1922, Nanook of the North is a cinematic milestone that continues to enchant audiences.
