Experience The World Anew, a film screening event presented by Cineworks Independent Filmmakers Society (Vancouver) featuring contemporary Aboriginal film. Bringing together short films by six filmmakers, The World Anew celebrates a multitude of First Nations identities in Canada, as well as past and current Indigenous forms of exchange through diverse forms and genres—from documentary, to narrative, to experimental.

Filmmakers include Banchi Hanuse (Nuxalk), Zoe Hopkins (Heiltsuk/Mohawk), Terrance Houle (Blood), Kate Kroll, Kelvin Redvers (Metis/Dene), and Bear Witness (Cayuga Six Nations). This screening will be followed by a Q&A with filmmaker and co-curator Marilyn Thomas (Saulteaux).
