Wasn't this film made after its maker lost all of his original footage of the north -and got badly burnedwhen a raging fire in his garage, set off by a spark lit the nitrate film he shot the movie on ? Nitrate film not only is almost a form of dynamite, but may eventually decay into a fungus-like mess and finally go to a fine dust. most of the earliest footage exists only as acetate copies, or not at all.
My own acetate-based home films are also decomposing and releasing a vinegar smell.

It says on Wikipedia that Allakariallak died at home. It references two books.
