“[Sugarcane] is immersive and incredibly beautiful, shot like poetry…. The result is both stunning and sobering.” —New York Times
Sugarcane is a film screening animated by a live film score performance. The eponymous Oscar-nominated documentary follows an Indigenous community grappling with the painful history of a residential school run by the Catholic Church. Centering on members of the Williams Lake First Nation in present-day British Columbia, the film unfolds alongside a haunting score filled with tender character studies and sprawling landscapes. Written by composer/bassist Mali Obomsawin (Odanak First Nation) and brought to life by her trio, the score stands as a testimony to Indigenous struggle and resilience.
This is night one of a two-night engagement with Obomsawin. Learn more about her sextet performance at Icehouse on April 18.

Program support provided by Nor Hall and Roger Hale.
