This two-day festival operates under the profound structural recognition that Indigenous campus and community members need space to simply be in community on this day. Therefore, this public gathering focuses explicitly on the vital role of non-Indigenous peoples in reconciliation.

 

We invite you to step past performative allyship and passive resistance. Use the medium of cinema as a vehicle to unlearn colonial narratives, learn directly from Indigenous peoples, fill critical gaps in systemic understanding, and open hearts and minds to compose real societal change while honouring a living legacy (Debbie Toney)
