How it feels

This documentary shows daily life in the Greenlandic town of Jakobshavn, now called Ilulissat. It was also made to promote a bank, but it mostly just observes how people live and work there.

What happens

Jacobshavn er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra anslået 1968, der er instrueret af Kaj Mogens. Reklamefilm for Bikuben i Grønland, men nok så meget en dokumentarisk film om livet i Jakobshavn (Ilulissat). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
