We’ll close out the month with a special $5 ENTRY screening for the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, featuring Darlene Naponse’s Aki and a short film Shaaghan Neekwaii (Two Old Women) from Princess Daazhraii Johnson.

The screening is followed by a Q&A with Darlene Naponse (In-Person) and Princess Daazhraii Johnson (Virtual)

About AKI: Set on Atikameksheng Anishnawbek (formerly known as Whitefish Lake), this visual art documentary follows the seasons in director Darlene Naponse’s home community in Northern Ontario.

About Shaaghan Neekwaii (Two Old Women): In 1400s Alaska, two abandoned Gwich’in elders survive a brutal winter, guided by ancestral knowledge, spirit forces, and grit, redefining survival, kinship, and belonging beyond their band.
