Skoden in the news
SCA film students Grace Mathisen and Carr Sappier (above, right and left) are the co-initiators and main organizers of the inaugural Skoden Indigenous Film Festival, which runs June 1, 2019, here at 911吃瓜 Goldcorp Centre for the Arts. Skoden includes the work of BC-based Indigenous filmmakers and talent, ranging from student film-makers to established artists like (Savage), (Biidaaban), (Her Suger is?), (OChiSkwaCho), and (Clouds of Autumn), presented over two programs of short films, followed by an awards ceremony and after party.
