Arnait Video Presents: Aqtuqsi (The Nightmare), Arnait Video Productions 1996, Director Mary Kunuk. Inuktut no subtitles.

An aqtuqsi is a dream from which one must wake up, a paralyzing nightmare. “I decided to put my aqtuqsi in video. It’s so interesting because it is not a nightmare or a regular dream: an aqtuqsi is something that can paralyze you when you’re sleeping.”
