The Cordillera International Film Festival's focus on inclusion continues to celebrate, elevate and empower Native and Indigenous films, filmmakers, and creators. To ensure a broader audience for these stories, we are offering a pay-what-you-can virtual screening option.
Robert, a young Ojibwe photographer, prepares for a sacred fire ceremony in the woods where his father used to hunt, desperate to feel close to him one last time. Meanwhile, the Spirit of his father finds the flame and seeks to console his son, though he is only able to watch, and grieves that he cannot comfort him. As Robert fights to keep the flame alive and reckon with the loss of his father, the Spirit fights his fear of the inevitable transition to the afterlife.
