The Presents of the Past
One evening: four delicate, vigorous, or reflexive works featuring unresolved pasts and presents.
The Social Life of Artefacts: Perspectives on Materialized Pasts
From 5 pm to 6:45 pm — McCord Museum
Artefacts such as skulls and ethnographic archives, often seen as simple materializations of the past, are deeply alive. As we watch these artefacts leading animated social lives, intense humanities and the artefacts’ profound reverberations in the present are uncovered.
Q&A with A Journey to the Makonde’s director (videoconference)

The Archeology of the Self: A Decolonizing Practice?
From 7 pm to 9:30 pm — McCord Museum
Historical research projects carried on by colonized subjects shine with audacity, reflexivity and intimist strength. These two films – two quests for truth filled with richness and authenticity – tackle the troubled relationship of a self with the past of its people.
Q&A with Trous de mémoire’s director and with the archeological site supervisor after the screening

Natural rights, resiliences and cultural ecology
From 5 pm to 7 pm — Cinématèque québécoise
Two sensible and beautiful observational ethnographies offering an outlook on two distinct cultural ecologies, where protagonists fight daily to make use or protect rights that could be described as “natural.” What are these rights, and by whom are they maintained? Paani. Of Women and Water and Poacher’s Moon both pose, in their own way, this question that links cultural and ecological resiliencies.
Q&A with two Poacher’s Moon team members

Sunday, September 20th
This day honoring the theme of Indigeneity will be divided in four moments: 1. a workshop on Quebec’s First Nations’ legends for children and parents, 2. the discovery of stories told by indigenous filmmakers regarding the notion of identity linked to their territories, 3. a panel discussing this subject and, 4. the screening of Quiet Killing directed by Kim O’Bomsawin, followed by a group discussion in her presence.
Worshop in collaboration with McCord Museum and the Wapikoni Mobile
From 10:30 am to 11:30 am — McCord Museum
The workshop (in french) Tell me a legend: learn, create and share a living story is aimed at children (from 9 to 14 years old) and their parents for them to develop their understanding and art of storytelling.
