ImagineNATIVE Film Festival
Northern Tour Returns

The 8th annual imagineNATIVE Film + Video Tour returns to North Bay on Thursday, March 8th to present a shorts program for youth and a FREE feature film for the entire family!

YOUTH PROGRAM: 2pm, ROOM H109, Nipissing University Please Register

The Tour’s Youth Program encourages Indigenous youth to explore and discuss short film and video works made for or by youth that look at the often surreal, significant, and often funny, coming-of-age phase of a young person’s life. For more information, or if you would like your classroom to participate in this free program please contact Holly at 705-476-6402.

COMMUNITY FEATURE SCREENING, 7:00pm, Room H106, Nipissing University FREE

This year’s Community Feature Presentation brings families the animated feature film Wapos Bay: Long Goodbyes, which closed the 2011 ImagineNATIVE Festival. Wapos Bay is a fascinating and often humorous portrait of life on a northern Saskatchewan First Nation and is based on the classic animated TV series. The Wapos Bay TV series earned four Gemini Awards between 2006 and 2010 and features the voices of the late Gordon Tootoosis (North of 60, Legends of the Fall), Andrea Menard (The Velvet Devil) and Lorne Cardinal (Corner Gas).
