We are thrilled to announce that Indigenous storytellers and filmmakers Children of the Setting Sun Productions will bring two short films to Wooden Boat Festival for Saturday night’s Movie Special: The Sound and West Shore.
In their own words: “Children of the Setting Sun’s responsibility is to create and share Indigenous stories of gratitude, generosity, and respect, to empower the minds and hearts of future generations.”
The Sound is a coming-of-age TV drama that follows a group of Indigenous Coast Salish teens as they travel through their ancestral waterways in a traditional canoe. Their journey starts as an escape from hurt and trauma but soon becomes a purposeful route to transformation and self-discovery. At Festival they will share their proof-of-concept pilot episode!
West Shore is a story of the 2023 Paddle to Muckleshoot with the West Shore Canoe Family.
Both screenings will take place on Saturday, September 7, at 6:30 PM on the Cruising & Technical Stages.
