EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic poster for Robert Flaherty's groundbreaking documentary, "Nanook of the North" (1922). The image immediately transports us to the vast and unforgiving Arctic landscape, where this pioneering film was shot. The poster itself is a testament to Flaherty's ability to capture raw human experiences amidst nature's harshest conditions. In bold lettering, the word "FIGURATION!" demands our attention, hinting at the film's unique blend of reality and storytelling. It serves as a reminder that what we are about to witness is not merely a documentary but an artistic representation of life in the Arctic. The focal point of this striking design is undoubtedly the majestic walrus prominently featured in its center. This magnificent creature symbolizes both resilience and adaptability – qualities essential for survival in such extreme environments. Its presence evokes curiosity and awe while inviting viewers into Nanook's world. Surrounded by icy blues and whites, this poster encapsulates the ethereal beauty of the Arctic landscape. It conveys a sense of isolation and solitude while simultaneously drawing us closer to its inhabitants' daily struggles against nature's forces. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from British Film Institute’s collection, we cannot help but appreciate how it captures both Flaherty's vision and his dedication to documenting humanity with authenticity. This photograph print transcends time, allowing us to reflect on one man’s journey through an untamed wilderness that continues to captivate audiences nearly a century
