2020 edition

One evening: four delicate, vigorous, or reflexive works featuring unresolved pasts and presents.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. The workshop was developed by the McCord Museum, Wapikoni Mobile and the Innu director Donovan Vollant.

Panel, followed by a discussion with the public, with Kim O’Bomsawin, Maya Cousineau-Mollen, and Yvette Mollen, and moderated by Jani Bellefleur-Kaltush. The territorial stakes linked to the constructions of indigenous’ identities and the upheavals due to the pandemic will be the central thread.

*The panel will be recorded and live-streamed on our FIFEQ-MTL Facebook page and the McCord Museum Facebook page also. You’ll be able to send your questions on both of them and it’ll be included in the discussion between the public and the guests.
