“The Skoden Indigenous Film Festival returns for its 7th year on April 11, 2025 with two evening screenings (including a family-friendly program) of films from Indigenous filmmakers and creatives from across Turtle Island.

Founded on the principles of truth and reconciliation, Carr Sappier (Wolastoqew) and Grace Mathisen created the festival in 2019. According to Carr Sappier, “Skoden represents a sense of happiness, inclusion and a space where all filmmakers can feel like they are part of something that holds them up in respect.”

The 7th annual Skoden Indigenous Film Festival is curated by Akira Iahtail, Kathleen Mullen, and Carr Sappier

Presented in conjunction with SFU’s First Nations, Métis & Inuit Student Association’s 3rd Annual “Honouring Indigenous Students” Powwow on April 12, 2025, at SFU Burnaby.”

It will take place at the Leslie & Gordon Diamond Family Auditorium at the SFU Burnaby Campus. Register here: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/skoden-indigenous-film-festival-2025-tickets-1273203047589?aff=oddtdtcreator
