A 20-minute film uses 16mm footage to examine how language shapes and controls foreign landscapes in Greenland.
Synopsis
Greenland's vast vistas serve as the backdrop for Tinne Zenner's 2018 film, 'Translations' (Greenlandic: 'Nutsigassat'). The 20-minute documentary examines how language shapes perceptions of land and identity. Through the lens of 16mm film, Zenner presents a critical view of language as a tool of colonization. The imagery invites reflection on the relationship between language and the landscapes it describes, prompting thoughts on freedom and thought in a colonized context.
