What's so funny about white people, otherwise known as Qallunaat to the Inuit? Well, among   other curious behaviours, Qallunaat ritualistically greet each other with inane salutations, repress natural bodily functions, complain a lot about being cold, and seem to want to dominate the world.This docucomedy is collaboration between filmmaker Mark Sandiford and Inuit writer

and satirist, Zebedee Nungak. Zebedee is CEO and head researcher of the mythical Qallunaat Studies Institute (QSI). According to Nungak, "Qallunaat ought to be the object of some kind of study by other cultures. The more I thought about the way they have studied us over the years

it occured to me, why don't we study them?"
