Righting Relations Doc Night: Tales of Sand and Snow
Event Information
Description
Join us at Righting Relations Doc Night for a screening of "Tales of Sand and Snow" by Hyacinthe Combary.
In a quest to rediscover the spiritual values of his own people, an African filmmaker from the Gourmantche tribe of Burkina Faso visits an Indigenous community, the Atikamekw of northern Quebec. The resulting documentary is a dialogue between those who divine the future in the sand with those who use snow-encased sweat lodges to reconnect with the spiritual world.
Light refreshments will be served and the film will be followed by a discussion. We look forward to learning with you.
This space is wheelchair accessible.
We are grateful to the National Film Board for their support in this film screening
