Welcome to the 2024 ReFrame Film Festival! In collaboration with the Reframe Film Festival, the Trent Central Student Association welcomes Trent students to learn about the Curve Lake First Nation Community through storytelling centring Indigenous lived experience. The Wshkiigmong Dibaajmownan Curve Lake Storytelling project was launched by Dr. Nadine Changfoot, a professor of Political Studies at Trent, in a research partnership with the Curve Lake Health Centre, Curve Lake First Nation community members, and ReVision. The Anishnaabe filmmakers discuss powerful stories about their families, relations, upbringing, and lessons they have learned. This project weaves a profound journey of connection, identity, and love for the land and community.

This screening features short films by six diverse community members.

• My Beginnings by Marilyn Knott

• My Storytelling by Marg Knott

• For the Little Girl who Dances from the South by Missy Knott

• “The Rez” by Sarah Lewis

• The Best of Both Worlds by Carol Taylor

• Turtle Crossing by Jonathan Taylor

After the screening, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a panel discussion with the filmmakers and learn more about their stories. The panel will be hosted by Dr. Nadine Changfoot and Alice Olsen Williams.

Please note there is limited registration as there are 50 tickets for Trent student attendees. In-person ticket pick-up at the TCSA Office. Pick-up details will be sent to registered attendees. Registration link: https://forms.gle/3M4nPj5gvSbXzcJm8
