A crackling criticism of how the Canadian art world treats Indigenous artists, this psychological thriller stars Inuit actors from the series North of North. In the Heart of the South follows Yura Ivalu, the latest darling of the Toronto art world, whose virtual reality piece promises to blow your mind. Presented with a new opportunity to develop a film, she offers to lean into a traumatic story from her youth, which involves a friend who believed she was a shaman. But when that friend, Sesi, re-enters her life, Yura’s sheen of perfection in this polite society begins to show cracks.
