A CIFF ENCORE
Co-presented with the Camden International Film Festival
On the Bella Coola River, the disappearance of the ooligan fish echoes the colonial harm faced by the Nuxalk people. Through radio transmissions, animation, archives, and personal testimony, Ceremony tracks the search for the fish as it broadens into a story of land protection and cultural survival. Told with patience and warmth, this film preserves memory through storytelling as care becomes an act of renewal, resistance, and sovereignty for generations to come.
