'Tuktuq' is a Canadian docufiction film from Quebec, directed by Robin Aubert and released in 2016.[http://www.lapresse.ca/cinema/critiques/201703/24/01-5081884-tuktuq-naissance-dune-conscience-12.php "Tuktuq: naissance d'une conscience"]. 'La Presse', March 24, 2017. The film stars Aubert as Martin Brodeur, a cameraman who is sent to a small Inuit village in the Nunavik region of Quebec as part of a government project to film the community, but soon learns that the reason behind the project is that the residents are about to be forcibly displaced as part of a major new hydroelectricity development.[https://voir.ca/cinema/2017/03/24/tuktuq-de-robin-aubertlettre-au-pere/ "TUKTUQ DE ROBIN AUBERT: LETTRE AU PRE"]. 'Voir', March 24, 2017.
The film's cast also includes Robert Morin in a voice role as the government minister, and Brigitte Poupart as his ex-girlfriend. It was made while Aubert was on a cultural exchange residency in Kangiqsujuaq in 2012.
The film received three Prix Iris nominations at the 20th Quebec Cinema Awards in 2018: Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor (Morin) and Best Editing (Aubert).[https://www.lesoleil.com/arts/hochelaga-et-le-probleme-dinfiltration-dominent-les-nominations-aux-prix-iris-61fbcf026a79f7cb306420fab045c621 "Hochelaga et Le problme d'infiltration dominent les nominations aux prix Iris"].
