Discussion between Sarah Beaulne and Peter-Henry Arnatsiaq
Q: What role do you play in the film?
A: I play Apak.
Q: How do you feel about the filmmaking process?
A:
When I was in the movie Atanarjuat, everything was written down and we
had to follow the script. It was simpler because everything was written
down. This is a bit harder. They’re making history!
Q: You have acted in films before - have you ever thought of being a cameraman or working with equipment?
A:
I never thought of it, but while making Atanarjuat I realized that I’m
Inuk and I learned a lot. I like acting. I’m in the movies because I
like it.
Q: Have you even thought of what you’d like to make a movie about?
A: I
guess I never thought of it! It would be good to make a movie about how
I was raised as a child. I was born and raised in a small village. I
have never gone to school. My father and I used to go hunting a lot. I
was going out hunting all the time and never went to school. But I wish
I had learned English.
