The STOODIS
Indigenous Film Festival
Sept. 27-30, 2024

In 2023, the STOODIS Indigenous Film Festival debuted, exploring the film industry’s “Colonial Gaze” and immersing audiences in authentic Indigenous narratives. Thomas King’s words, “The truth about stories, is that’s all we are,” underscored the festival’s emphasis on the profound impact of storytelling, particularly on youth.

The festival’s design draws inspiration from the Medicine Wheel, a symbol of cultural significance, representing life’s various facets for Indigenous communities. STOODIS aims to promote the normalization and celebration of Indigenous presence and perspectives. In the predominantly rural, settler community in which we live, the festival seeks to cultivate knowledge, support, and humanization of Indigenous people, fostering a shared understanding of past, present, and future.

In 2024, STOODIS will offer a celebration of diverse and compelling storytelling through film, live performances, and community engagement and conversations. The festival aims to showcase the work of emerging and established Indigenous artists while fostering a sense of community and cultural exchange. This year, STOODIS will spotlight global Indigenous resistance, excellence, and resurgence.

Indigenous-led initiatives set with intention and vision with Indigenous perspectives at the centre, as we walk this path of healing together, is a medicine all its own.‍
