Call him Norman of the North -- or the Wandering Jew.
That's the best way to explain how cinematographer Norman Cohn of Washington Heights, N.Y., moved to the Canadian Arctic and shot the first Inuit-language feature film.

The haunting film won a top 2001 Cannes prize and was deemed a "masterpiece" by The New York Times.
