Film Screening: Smoke Signals

In celebration of Indigenous History Month and Indigenous Peoples Day, join the Indigenous Film Collective and Innis College for a special screening of Smoke Signals (1998) — a groundbreaking film in Indigenous cinema – on June 18.

Smoke Signals holds a unique place in history as the first feature-length film written, directed, and produced by Native Americans to reach national and international audiences. Featuring a fully Indigenous cast and filmed on location at the Coeur d’Alene Indian Reservation in Idaho, the film is celebrated for its authenticity, humour and heartfelt storytelling.

Through the lens of two young men on a road trip shaped by family, memory, and loss, Smoke Signals invites us to reflect on Indigenous identity and community in contemporary life.
