Crossroads: Kanaval + Talkback with Tola Dabiri at the Electric Palace

A luminous and emotionally rich feature in which nine-year-old Rico – uprooted from Haiti to Canada in the 1970s – navigates a strange new world with the help of Kana, an imaginary friend from Haitian mythology.
Following the screening, Hastings-based facilitator Tola Dabiri (Electric Piers) will lead a post-film talkback, creating a welcoming space to explore the film's themes of displacement, memory, and belonging.
