Gluk: A Stone Soup Video History
Sunday November 1, 3pm – 4:30pm
Carnegie Theatre, 401 Main Free
Gluk is a video history that focuses on Stone Soup, a Karen Jamieson Dance performance work that spanned 1995-1997 and toured British Columbia. The video is a result of a multi-year Body to Land Project. The shocking realization that this video history of Stone Soup speaks directly to issues of truth and reconciliation has deepened the project far beyond expectations, and is dedicated to Doreen Jensen whose spirit lives on. With special thanks to Loretta Todd for her advice in honouring Doreen and permission to use her footage. Karen Jamieson Dance was given permission by each nation and each speaker to record and present all events and performances, both during the 1995-1997 Stone Soup tour and for the 2024 creation of Gluk. Q & A to follow the video presentation.
Nechako: It Will Be a Big River Again
Saturday November 1, 7:30pm – 9:30pm
SFU Djavad Mowafaghian Cinema, 149 W. Hastings
$0 – $20. Tickets nechako.eventbrite.ca
The Festival is honoured to present Nechako: It Will Be a Big River Again, a stirring documentary by award-winning Stellat’en filmmaker Lyana Patrick. Once a lifeline for the Stellat’en and Saik’uz Nations, the Nechako River in northwestern BC was diminished when the Kenney Dam diverted 70% of its waters, displacing the Cheslatta T’En, and disrupting wildlife, land, and culture. Through stories of resistance and resilience, Nechako reveals a decades-long fight for justice and renewal. Screening followed by a conversation between Lyana Patrick and Aftab Erfan, Executive Director of the SFU Morris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue. Presented in partnership with SFU, with film provided courtesy of the NFB.
