Strata: Portraits of Humanity, August 2025: First Nations runner; Norse farming settlements in Greenland
Description: (1) "6 minutes/km": In rhythm with the footsteps of her Atikamekw ancestors in Quebec, Catherine immerses us in the dreamlike universe of her morning runs. She thinks of her ancestors who walked this land, and the forest they came from. (2) "Greenland RESPONSE": Archaeological sites across the circumpolar north are rapidly degrading as a consequence of rising global temperatures. This short film shares the story of the Greenland RESPONSE project and the archaeologists racing to record and rescue what is left. It documents excavations of Norse farming settlements of the 10th-14th centuries.
