This feature documentary tells the story of 2 Inuit communities of the circumpolar north—one on Canada’s Baffin Island, the other in Northwest Greenland—that are linked by a migration led by an intrepid shaman. Navarana, an Inughuit elder and descendant of the shaman, draws inspiration and hope from the ties that still bind the 2 communities to face the consequences of rapid social and environmental change.

Melbourne symphonic metal band Vanishing Point return after seven years to release Distant is the Sun. Drenched in power metal and with a crystal clear production, the band seem intent on releasing their finest product to date, however the overall feel of the album is a slight let down, with some songs morphing into others to create a sameness in the end result. That’s not to say the die hard symphonic metal heads will not adore this album: it’s heavy, it’s melodic and it contains some strong song writing.
