Welcome to Groovy Toons
How can one volunteer help make a patient’s stay at the hospital more comfortable? With a little creativity, the right idea, and the support of hospital staff why not start a weekly activity group. Come hear the story of how the first volunteer-led activity group began in Inpatient Mental Health Services at the Regina General Hospital. Welcome to Groovy Toons!
Demon Box
After festival rejections, a director revises his intensely personal short film about trauma, suicide, and the Holocaust, and transforms it into a painful, blunt and funny dissection of the film and his life.
Ten years in the making.
Mea Culpa
A date becomes complicated when a controversial subject forces the couple to examine their desires and limitations.
What the soil remembers
"What the Soil Remembers," examines the trauma of a community uprooted during the Apartheid regime, making way for an educational institution that would become synonymous with the foundation of white supremacist ideologies. The film follows a group of elders who illuminate the screen with their approach to the problem. The collective wisdom and patience embedded in their actions is what a nationalist regime tried to violently take away from them years earlier.
Radio Bingo
Bingo is synonymous with Indigenous culture. It’s a time where families connect and mingle, with the hopes of winning the big prize. But this is not your typical bingo game. On the borders of the Akwesasne Mohawk Reservation where Ontario and Quebec meet New York state, bingo is played in the comfort of your own home. It’s just like bingo, except it’s not. It’s RADIO BINGO! Its a story about hope; the power of community members; and the pursuit to relearn the Mohawk language while having fun.
