Community-based dark comedies, powerful spoken-words, a Métis western, a gentle story of siblings in the bush, healing in a hide camp, and carrying on traditional practices. The future of Indigenous Cinema looks bright in this all youth-made shorts program, including the winning film from the 2025 imagineNATIVE Film Tour.
These shorts programs may differentiate from the shorts programs presented at our in-person festival screenings due to the various geoblocking restraints on each film.
Blending horror and humour, Lethal Ethel is a mockumentary that follows the story of a Naskapi vampire who goes to murderous lengths to protect her land and culture.
Elayna Einish grew up in Kawawachikamach, where they have spent most of their life. Fascinated by breaking the confines of social norms, Elayna explores this through books, movies, and fashion, with a particular interest in the horror genre.
