Synopsis

In February 2010, Inuit Communications (ICSL) released a short film called Inuit High Kick as part of the cultural celebrations at the Vancouver Winter Olympic Games. The film – only three minutes long – is a dramatic and timeless representation of an athlete performing the traditional high kick. The athlete moves in super-slow motion and practically floats through the air, dressed only in a pair of sealskin pants.
