title: History of Manawan - Part One

overview: “It’s not how it used to be.” The words of Cézar Néwashish resonate throughout this short documentary that explores the history of the Atikamekw community of Manawan, Quebec. Less than a century old in name, Manawan embodies the experiences of so many Indigenous communities across Canada. Where once they practised their customs freely on a vast territory, the arrival of the Europeans would eventually mean the restriction of their cultural practices and confinement to a reserve named Manawan.

Despite these struggles, the people carry on. This short is part of the Manawan series directed by Alanis Obomsawin.

title: Café Daughter

overview: In a small Saskatchewan town in the 1960s, Yvette Wong, a young girl of Chinese and Cree heritage, struggles with her Indigenous identity amidst family tragedy in this coming-of-age film directed by Mohawk artist and filmmaker Shelley Niro. Yvette’s mother, Katherine, discourages her from embracing her Cree identity, so she explores it in secret. As she learns more about herself and her Indigenous heritage, Yvette finds a friend in Maggie Wolf, who embraces being part Mi’kmaq and encourages Yvette to be proud of being Cree. When her classmates learn about her Cree ancestry, Yvette encounters the realities of being Indigenous, facing prejudice with pride and holding fast to her dream of becoming a doctor. Café Daughter is inspired by true events and based on Kenneth T. Williams’ play of the same name.

title: Atikamekw Suns

overview: Manawan, 1977. A vehicle falls into a river near a Native community. Two Quebecers managed to escape, but five Atikamekws lost their lives. While the police conclude that it was an accident, the victims’ families are left with unanswered questions. A historical, poetic and choral tale, Soleils Atikamekw is inspired by the dreams, impressions and memories of the relatives of the five victims. In an intimate, humanistic approach, the filmmaker involves the families both in front of and behind the camera. Documentary and fiction come together in a deeply moving film about grief, injustice and memory.

title: Soleils Atikamekw

overview: Manawan, 1977. Un véhicule est retrouvé par la police ; cinq Atikamekws y gisent sans vie. D’abord soupçonnés, deux Québécois blancs s’en tirent sans inquiétude. La version officielle : une « brosse qui a mal viré », un malheureux accident. Jusqu’à aujourd’hui, l’enquête demeure inachevée. Après Avant les rues (2016), Chloé Leriche réactualise un drame d’époque qui a tout d’une tragédie contemporaine. Dans une démarche intime et humaniste, la cinéaste accompagne les familles des cinq victimes, les impliquant devant et derrière la caméra. Au service d’un travail de réminiscence patient et continu, le film fait se fondre réel, fiction et poésie. Une œuvre bouleversante et profondément politique sur le deuil, la communauté et la mémoire volée.

Film choral, récit historique et poétique, Soleils Atikamekw est librement inspiré des rêves, impressions et souvenirs des proches des victimes. Réalité et fiction se rejoignent alors dans un film bouleversant sur le deuil, l’injustice et la mémoire.
