Wikipedia article
'Eskimo Artist: Kenojuak' is a 1964 Canadian short,documentary film about Inuk artist Kenojuak Ashevak, directed by John Feeney. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Short.
Regarding the use of the term "Eskimo" in the title, Feeney wrote in 1993 that he had suggested using the now-accepted term "Inuit" in the film, but had been told that it would be confusing for non-Inuit audiences of the day.
'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.
