Wiki.

Eskimo Artist: Kenojuak is a 1964 Canadian short film about Inuk artist Kenojuak Ashevak, directed by John Feeney and produced by the National Film Board of Canada (NFB).

It won the BAFTA Award for Best Short Film in 1964 and, in 1965, was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Short Film.The 19-minute documentary shows how the drawings of Inuit artist Kenojuak Ashevak are transferred to stone and printed before being sold to museums and collectors. Ashevak was the first woman involved with the printmaking cooperative in Cape Dorset.

The NFB notes: ..."this is an archival film that makes use of the word “Eskimo,” an outdated and offensive term. While the origin of the word is a matter of some contention, it is no longer used in Canada. The term was formally rejected by the Inuit Circumpolar Council in 1980 and has subsequently not been in use at the NFB."Eskimo Artist: Kenojuak found new life again in 1992, when filmmakers Colin Low and Tony Ianzelo combined archival and contemporary footage of Kenojuak in Momentum, Canada's IMAX HD film for Expo '92.
