ABSTRACT
In this chapter, I argue that the intercultural cinematic encounter can lay a foundation for more egalitarian relations in a world of legal pluralism, through its (re)envisioning of other sites of legality. Such envisioning can support the intellectual and affective work of law that is so crucial to Indigenous-Settler reconciliation. I turn to Inuit film (and in particular, to the films Atanarjuat and Before Tomorrow) to consider concretely the ways that law is there envisioned, and the ways that haptic visuality might enable audiences to better inhabit other worlds of legality.
