English Greenlandic cinema is indeed in its infancy, as the film Nuummioq, which was successfully screened at this year's Sundance, is the first film made on the island. The pioneering wandering is clearly visible in the film, both in the technical component and in the somewhat unbalanced scenario. Carpenter Malik learns that he has an incurable disease, but due to the fact that he is a withdrawn individual, he is unable to share his grief with his loved ones other than through a journey through the rugged landscape of Greenland. The Old Testament strict exteriors and very good non-actors are even more humanized by the aforementioned imperfection, and the result is a quirky and pleasant film that reveals more than enough about the nature of the people of Greenland.
