It’s coming up starting on October 20! This is a wonderful festival that lasts for 4 days showing films created by indigenous peoples from around the world. They also host other events and organize panel discussions, creating connections between directors, viewers, supporters, artists, etc. Many films raise critical questions about colonialism, indigenous identity and sovereignty, connections with Nature, there is even some comedy!

The first facilitation group in Deb’s tutorial mentioned the festival when talking about indigenous identity and knowledge and showed a trailer of the featured film “Boy” on the opening night on the October 20. It seemed like a really funny and interesting film to see and some of us agreed to try and make it to see the film. How cool would it be to make it a class outing! This is an invitation for everyone who is interested in seeing another side of the indigenous story. It’s about laughter, family, and coming of age. See the trailer first! You will definitely be convinced to come hang out, watch and share. It is another opportunity to get to know your other classmates better! As well as inspire critical thinking and creativity in all of us.
