Tautuktavuk (What We See) is a Canadian drama film directed by Carol Kunnuk and Lucy Tulugarjuk.
[4] The film centres on Saqpinak (Kunnuk) and Uyarak (Tulugarjuk), two Inuit sisters whose lives have significantly diverged as Uyarak lives in Montreal while Saqpinak has remained in Igloolik, Nunavut, who are reconnecting through regular video chats during the COVID-19 pandemic.
[3] The film was named to TIFF's annual Canada's Top Ten list for 2023.
Co-directors Lucy Tulugarjuk and Carol Kunnuk have woven their experiences and those of friends and family into a documentary/fiction hybrid that doesn’t have to worry about what’s real, because it’s about what’s true: The persistence of trauma in Inuit communities.
"[6] When interviewing Tulugaruk about the film, Liam Lacey of Original Cin speculated that the film's principal promotional image, depicting Uyarak running away from her abusive spouse through the streets of Igloolik in her bare feet, was an allusion to the climactic scene in the influential 2001 film Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner; Tulugarjuk stated that while she had expected that question to be raised, it was not intended as such.
