#savethedate Special Screening at The Cinematheque5 Year Anniversary Gathering
with remarks from director Amanda Lickers (Mohawk)
Ticket Cost: $12
_INVITATION On Thursday November 20th at 6:30pm join us for a special screening (one film short, one full length feature) in partnership with the Cleveland Cinematheque to mark the five year anniversary of ATNSC: Center for Healing + Creative Leadership.
We are honored to gather for a viewing + international premiere of the film short EVERLASTING, from designer, pedagogue and multi-media Haudenosaunee artist Iako’tsi:rareh Amanda Lickers.
_About EVERLASTING
“This experimental short film—a research-creation blending documentary and archival research in the cinema verité format—follows the place-keeping power of unbroken ties to territory through local seed saving and hide tanning initiatives. These ways of being and doing refuse settler partitions of land and city and challenge settler geographies of terra nullius. Interlacing past-present-future across the backdrop of a shape-shifting metropolis, the short film affirms Indigenous peoples’ connection to the land beyond the past—as everlasting.”
We are excited to also offer a viewing of SMOKE SIGNALS (1998) from director Chris Eyre.
_About SMOKE SIGNALS
“Chris Eyre’s debut feature, based on the 1993 book of short stories “The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven,” is the first film meant for large audiences that was written, directed, and produced by Native Americans. Smoke Signals opens in the Couer d’Alene Reservation in Idaho where Victor Joseph and Thomas Builds-the-Fire live as close as brothers and sometimes as antagonistically. When Victor’s father dies in Phoenix, Arizona, the two young men head out to retrieve his ashes, both having strong and differing feelings about the man they mourn.”
The song “Forgive Our Fathers Suite/Wahjeeleh‐Yihm” was composed by singer-songwriter Jennifer Elizabeth Kreisberg (Tuscarora) while a member of the acapella group Ulali.
This film marks our project’s history as Jennifer was our inaugural artist-in-residence at ATNSC with her son Wakinyan in Spring 2021.
As we move towards our fifth year in our home in Greater Buckeye, we will mark with five gestures over the course of the year–this is the first.
See you soon.
