Edward Folger studied physics at Columbia University in New York City but opted to become an artist rather than a scientist, after becoming depressed by Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem. He has worked as a writer/director, still photographer, cameraman, and editor; apprenticed in feature films with John Cassavettes, Alain Resnais, Milos Forman, and others; wrote and directed a film for PBS in the Canadian Arctic (1975); and discovered the Inuit to be most amazing people on earth. He moved to Baffin Island to teach and produce the earliest Inuktitut TV programming and used all his skills in the struggle for Inuit land claims and the establishment of the Nunavut Territory. He moved to Ottawa in 2004. Members
