KCFF is thrilled to present this program of three extraordinary animated works by Michif filmmaker and interdisciplinary artist Amanda Strong, a guest of the festival at KCFF18. This showcase includes her newest work: SPIRIT BEAR & CHILDREN MAKE HISTORY, a visually inventive and highly engaging adaptation of Dr. Cindy Blackstock’s books for young readers. Like Blackstock’s much-loved stories about Spirit Bear, Strong’s 28-minute stop-motion animation introduces a new generation of changemakers to the themes of human rights, equity and reconciliation. Completing the program are HOW TO STEAL A CANOE and MIA’, two more demonstrations of Strong’s artistry and ingenuity, as well as her commitment to developing bold new forms of Indigenous screen storytelling.
Engage for Change Kingston has worked with the Kingston Canadian Film Festival to support the following four films at this year's digital festival:
