NW Documentary award presentation and screening. Filmmaker Sky Hopinka in attendance. Q&A after the screening.

A poetic experimental documentary by PNW filmmaker Sky Hopinka. The film follows Sweetwater Sahme and Jordan Mercier's wanderings through the Pacific Northwest as they contemplate the afterlife, rebirth, and the place-in-between. Spoken mostly in Chinook Wawa, their stories are departures from the Chinookan origin of death myth, with its distant beginning and circular shape. A beautiful lesson subtly arises about humanity’s place on this and other worlds, deceptively small and profoundly deep.

The film "refreshingly centers the Native perspective, and beckons audiences onto its wavelength by tapping into something more intuitive, the stuff of dreams." Beatrice Loayze, NY Times.
