London’s Forest City Film Festival will be shining a light on Indigenous film as part of their annual programming this October.
The festival’s Indigenous Curator is award-winning filmmaker Judith Schuyler, from the Oneida Nation of the Thames. This year’s selection celebrates a variety of Indigenous voices, while also connecting the viewer to the Indigenous experience.
The curated offering of seven films includes a showing of Aberdeen, directed by Ryan Cooper (Ojibway, Peguis First Nation) and Eva Thomas (Walpole Island First Nation), as well as John Kim Bell: Born To Indspire – a film that explores the journey of the first Indigenous person in North America to conduct a classical orchestra on Broadway.
Forest City Film Festival runs from October 19 to 27.
