Norman Cohn

Norman COHN (1946, New York City) is secretary, treasurer and co-founder of Igloolik Isuma Productions. Having lived since 1985 both in Igloolik and Montreal, Cohn developed, with Zacharias Kunuk, Pauloosie Qulitalik and the late Paul Apak, Isuma’s signature style of ‘re-lived' cultural drama, combining the authenticity of modern video with the ancient art of Inuit storytelling. He has contributed to shorts, documentaries and dramatic feature films. Cohn is producer and director of photography for Atanarjuat, The Fast Runner (2001). The Journals of Knud Rasmussen is his first feature as (co-)director.
