Wapikoni - 15th anniversary

closing event
Wednesday, August 14 2019 - 6:30 pm

Synopsis

As a closing event, a selection of recent films made by Aboriginal youth with the support of the now famous Wapikoni.

From artistic expression to the roar of rallies, from commitments to improve community life to the ever-present despair that must be overcome, and the will to defend the territory by regaining a sovereign foothold: these short films are as many testimonies reflecting the life of contemporary Aboriginal youth. Successively touching, upsetting, amusing, inventive, leading-edge, archivists, young filmmakers reveal with authenticity their vision of a world to be redefined.
