The Herd, Director: Peter Lynch, Canada, 1999, 100m

The Herd traces the true-life tale of Andy Bahr’s reindeer drive across 2,400 km of hostile and unmapped terrain. The 62-year-old set out from Alaska in 1929 with a small team of Inuit and Sami herders. And 3,000 reindeer! They were heading for the Northwest Territories. The Canadian government, in a well-intentioned move to provide a livelihood for the Mackenzie Delta Inuit, had purchased the herd. The reindeer drive, expected to take about 18 months, lasted 6 years. Filmed on location from the Bering Strait in Alaska, the northern Yukon  to the Beaufort Sea in the Northwest Territories, this stunning odyssey follows Bahr’s quest to the edge of the World. Filmmaker Peter Lynch continues to challenge the boundaries of fact and fiction, fusing drama and documentary. The Herd features performances from some of Canada’s finest actors, as well as painstaking historical documentation, epic myth and irreverent humour.

Youth Art Enrichment

Youth Art Enrichment is an annual four-day art program for Yukon youth hosted by the Klondike Institute of Art & Culture in Dawson City. Artistically-inclined youth ages 14 – 18 travel from across the Yukon to take part in intensive workshops led by professional artists. Students choose one of three mediums to study for the duration of the program, learning new skills, techniques, and ways to creatively make artwork for the world to see. The mediums change every year: we have offered printmaking, animation, painting, carving, stained glass, illustration, improv, and much more over the last two decades.
