Kobe is a contemplative portrait of daily life in the Arctic community of Igloolik. Originally shot in stereoscopic 3D, it creates a moving image tableau with depths and volumes that fluctuate and emerge as the eye wanders through fixed long shots. The video focuses on Kobe, a ten-year-old Inuit boy, who goes on a hunting expedition with his family.
