Wednesday, April 16th is National Canadian Film Day and to celebrate we will be hosting a free outdoor movie night under the Johnson Street Bridge. Join us at 8 pm under the east side of the bridge for screenings of Lekwungen: Place to Smoke Herring and the award-winning feature-length documentary film Singing Back the Buffalo.
We are honored to be joined by TEALIYE/Brianna Bear, who will welcome attendees to Lekwungen Territory. Free hot beverages will be provided, so bring your own reusable mug.
This project is proudly supported by the City of Victoria through the Our DWTN Ideas Fund. Thanks also to Reel Canada for their support.
