Truth & Reconciliation Film Screening and Author Event

To honour the importance of Truth & Reconciliation Day, Edmonton Short Film Festival will hold a free screening of short films, interspersed with short talks by local Indigenous authors about their books. Please join us for this creative community gathering. 

This event is FREE. Audreys Books will be open 12pm-6pm on September 30.

After each film and excerpt from a local Indigenous author, there will be a discussion on the content presented. This dialogue is crucial for promoting understanding, empathy, and unity. By showcasing a diverse range of Indigenous films, this event contributes to the preservation of Indigenous cultures and traditions. The stories shared through film and text serve as a valuable medium for passing down cultural knowledge to younger generations and promoting a sense of pride and identity within the community.
