From Stone

--
We are honoured to celebrate the unique origin of the Canadian Premier League Awards created from stone that have evolved into beautiful pieces of Inuit Art in this short documentary. “From Stone” highlights the powerful and important achievements of the Inuit artists who have created these beautiful awards.

On November 26, 2019, the Canadian Premier League unveiled its coveted individual awards that Players and a Head Coach received at the first 2019 Canadian Premier League Awards ceremony in Toronto. To celebrate the Awards and their artists, the CPL is pleased to debut “From Stone”, a short documentary featuring a powerful, in-depth narrative of the origin of the Awards, created from slabs of stone that have evolved into beautiful pieces of Inuit Art, directed and shot by Adrijan Assoufi. Our story takes you on an epic journey to Kinngait (Cape Dorset), Nunavut, deep within Canada’s most northern region, sharing stunning visuals and powerful storytelling around the carvers who created these unique Canadian Premier League Awards along with the story behind each piece.
