This year, the Fabulous Festival of Fringe Film premieres three films made in the Saugeen Takes on Film (STOF) workshop, supported by Archive/Counter-Archive. Screenings of these films will be held on July 18 and July 27:

• Thunder Rolling Home by Sharon Isaac and Kelsey Diamond
• Tune - In by Cassidy Ritchie, Tiffany Kewageshig , Adrian Kahgee and Lori Kewaquom
• The Ancestors’ Gift by Natalka Pucan

"By animating archival photographs, artifacts, and traditional knowledge, the filmmakers tap into their vibrant community. Each film comes from a deeply personal place, sensitively navigating past trauma, ancestral presence and overcoming challenges. Friends and families of several generations are pictured in these films and bear witness to this moment in time. The films were made with hand-processing techniques that use flowers to replace chemicals, resulting in an aesthetic that calls to mind abstract painting and mark-making, from ancient times to contemporary painting. More importantly, the flowers have the potential to carry through teachings and healing properties of these plants into the material and subject matter of the film and onto the viewer." --Fabulous Festival of Fringe Film website

STOF is a result of a collaboration of the Saugeen First Nation Employment and Training Centre, Fabulous Festival of Fringe Film and the Film Farm.
