National Canadian Film Day Screening: Rustic Oracle
April 17 @ 11:00 am - 5:00 pm
Free
In conjunction with our next lecture in our Night School series and National Canadian Film Day, we will be presenting a FREE screening of Sonia Bonspille Boileau’s second dramatic feature, Rustic Oracle, on April 17th. Screenings will be at 11am, 1pm, and 3pm in the DARC Microcinema.
Set in the late 90s, Rustic Oracle is a dramatic feature about Ivy, an 8-year-old girl trying to understand what happened to her big sister who has vanished from their small Mohawk community. With minimal clues, Ivy and her mother Susan embark on an unwelcome journey to find Heather which ultimately brings the pair closer together despite challenging circumstances. Behind the story of desperation, told through the eyes of a child, lies one of hope, growth, awakening and love.
Come watch the film, and then join us the following day for an informative conversation about the importance of Indigenous representation in the arts and media, narrative sovereignty and the power of storytelling to educate, share and heal with the filmmaker herself.
