Exclusive: Kino Lorber has acquired all U.S. rights to documentary Ever Deadly about avant-garde Inuk throat singer-songwriter, novelist, visual artist and activist Tanya Tagaq.
Tagaq and award-winning Canadian documentary filmmaker Chelsea McMullan co-directed the National Film Board of Canada documentary which world premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2022.
Hailing from Canada’s sparsely populated northernmost territory of Nunavut, Tagaq’s work is bound up with her intimate relationship with the Nuna – the Land – as a living, breathing organism.
She began to practise throat singing while at high school and went on to become a popular act on the Canadian folk festival scene, before breaking out internationally, working with Saul Williams, Kronos Quartet, Bjork, A Tribe Called Red, Buffy Sainte-Marie, F**ked Up.
The immersive Ever Deadly explores Tagaq’s life and work, interweaving live performances, personal reflections, stunning sequences filmed in Nunavut, and hand-drawn animation by Inuk artist Shuvinai Ashoona.
