Tuktuq is a Canadian docufiction film from Quebec, directed by Robin Aubert and released in 2016.[1] The film stars Aubert as Martin Brodeur, a cameraman who is sent to a small Inuit village in the Nunavik region of Quebec as part of a government project to film the community, but soon learns that the reason behind the project is that the residents are about to be forcibly displaced as part of a major new hydroelectricity development.[2]
The film's cast also includes Robert Morin in a voice role as the government minister, and Brigitte Poupart as his ex-girlfriend. It was made while Aubert was on a cultural exchange residency in Kangiqsujuaq in 2012.[2]
The film received three Prix Iris nominations at the 2nd Prix Iris in 2018: Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor (Morin) and Best Editing (Aubert).[3]
